I read in my email that in order to be considered for a spot you must attend the interview, for those of you who have not received an email about interviews dont get too nervous just yet I read that they send them out in small groups at a time so your not out of it yet I think they just start interviewing by when you submitted your application. I submitted mine a few weeks after the application opened so for those of you who were closer to the deadline I am sure you will hear soon but I am pretty sure they go in order to when the applications were received, at least that is what they said at the information session. I have my interview in 2 weeks and while I am nervous I also heard the interviews do not make or break their decision they are mostly to get to know you as a person off paper. The exam they give at the interview is basic skills which you need to take regardless which nursing program you apply to. I am currently at Adelphi for their nursing program and was required to take the TEAS exam as part of the application process I also know Molloy requires the same kind of exam but like I said it is BASIC math and reading nothing your really need to study for just brush up on things like fractions. Good luck to everyone I'll let you know how the interview goes. If anyone has already gone to the interview maybe you could provide some words of wisdom, I am not asking you to tell us exactly what happens because it isnt fair but just words of wisdom to prepare ourselves :)

Yourlocalasian: I too am currently in another nursing program but SBU is my first choice as well I started this other program just in case I don't get in but if you find out any information regarding switching let me know it's been one of my concerns as well!

I just received the email yesterday and scheduled my interview for the end of march.. finally the process is moving along.. I currently am attending Adelphi University for nursing and I like the program but agree that they want your money.. they are a private school so unfortunately thats how they all are and the commute is very stressful considering it takes me over an hour to get there and you always have to be early because parking is crazy so i am really hoping Stony Brook takes me .. it is so much closer less expensive and from what i have heard the best nursing program on the island so fingers crossed but until my interview i will be reading up on potential questions.. good luck to everyone i hope to see ya there!

Hey all, first off I will say good luck to everyone. I am still waiting to hear about acceptance to the 2 year program as well and admissions told me that I would hear something in Feb/March. It has been hard waiting so long as I applied in August when the application opened but fingers crossed!
