Is anyone here applying to Niagara University's accelerated program, or graduated from it recently? I'm applying (grew up in Buffalo but live in NYC now) but I'm not sure what to expect as far as how the program compares to others in the area and the...

Thanks for the update, Dinachka7! End of April, huh? I guess by then I'll have a better idea whether my decision to retake chemistry -- in case I need to reapply -- paid off or was money wasted.

Now I'm confused. Nobody asked me to submit any health documents. Nothing's come in the mail or by email, so I guess I'm going to call Downstate in the morning to see what's going on. Wish me luck?

Ranftlea, is that section new for you? Has it been there all along?

Hi everyone, I'm also on the waiting list for Downstate. Has anyone on the waiting list heard from them about a decision yet? I checked the website just now and noticed what I think is a new section (either it's new, or I just never noticed that I ...

Also rejected (and no, I didn't have an interview). Congratulations to everyone who got in!

Katehugs, I thought the average GPA was higher for the trad program, which is part of what scared me off applying. I've been saying no traditional programs because I wanted to finish quickly and get back to work, but at this point I should start look...

Thanks, jjmm! I'm glad I at least made the wait list. My grades are good, but not 4.0, and I really thought I'd get rejected. Best of luck to all of you who've been accepted!

Sigh... wait listed. They list my statistics class (from my old B.A.) as "pending" -- as if they're not sure it'll transfer. Thing is, I took it at UB! Otherwise, all my prereqs are now complete, and all I can do now to improve my chances is start ...

I'm wait-listed, too. Do you know if we need to do anything to confirm our spots on the waiting list? (I suppose I could reread the letter to find out, huh?). Like you, I'd be happy to attend Niagara. The program seems well designed, with carefully...

It's a little frustrating not knowing what to expect, grade-wise, for pharmacology, since right now all I have to go on is my quiz grades. I don't understand why the professor would do that to herself, leave all the grading go until the end of the se...

Pharmacology is the last of the prereqs for me -- I've finished all the others. If I get rejected, I'll have to assume it's because of my chemistry grade.

Thanks, 3hamsomelette! The online format of the class makes it kind of hard to figure out what's important, and since there are no exams before the final I have no idea what to expect the questions to be like. And good luck to you! Since nursing is ...

Eeep! I have a phone interview with Niagara next Thursday, and no idea what sorts of questions they tend to ask. I'm assuming the usual (why nursing, why this school), but if anyone can give me an idea what to expect I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks! And good luck to you, too!

I think for the last two modules, I posted my discussions on Thursday or Friday, and I can't remember whether I commented on anything. I still need to print the SGA and get it bound, and I should probably start making a spreadsheet of drugs for easie...

I'm in the 10 week course (what about you?) at Cayuga, and I'm not sure what to make of it yet. This is my first online course, and I miss the structure of a weekly lecture. The quizzes seem a little superficial, considering this is material where sm...

Crossing my fingers for you, Jenster!

Seriously! I'm expecting decisions from three of the four programs I've applied to -- Stony Brook, SUNY Buffalo and Niagara University -- all in late December. I'm hoping there's some good news in the bunch!

When I contacted UB to ask whether certain courses at CUNY or in the NYC area would be equivalent for pharmacology, they suggested a couple. Regarding Pharmacology – here are some suggestions: Pharmacology (UB – PMY 302 = SCI 530 @ BMCC or = AHS 103...

Wondershot, have you heard anything from Niagara about interviews? They called me last week, but I had to let it go to voicemail, and I haven't been able to get the lady on the phone since.

Welcome! I grew up in Buffalo but live in NYC now. If nursing school is really as intense as people tell me it is, and work is out of the question, it makes sense to go to school somewhere with a lower cost of living.

Adelphi has such a good reputation for health sciences -- interesting to hear that things look different on the inside. I almost applied there, but ultimately decided to stick with SUNYs for the tuition. What made everyone choose Stony Brook? For m...

Are you guys in Buffalo/WNY already?

I'm 95% finished with the application. Someone, please give me a kick in the ass to finish the essay and mail in my transcripts!
