Saint Joseph College Brooklyn Spring 2018

Published

Good Morning everyone,

I am so excited that I finally got into Nursing school. I got an email this morning from SJC advising me that I got accepted to the nursing program for spring semester. I originally applied for Fall'18 because I was told by the admissions that they only accept Fall admission. But low and behold a few weeks later I got an email from them stating that a few spots opened up and if I would like my application put in for Spring '18. That was a no brainer, so I dutifully accepted and the wait almost killed me lol. Finally got an email this morning and I began screaming. Finally guys, it's been a long grueling journey that I thought would never end. I have all As and a couple of Bs in my prerequisites but my overall GPA is 2.9 which is pretty low and I had almost given up on getting into any program. I also got accepted into a weekend program in Dominican College but the transportation was a little to much to go upstate and I had a few more prerequisites that they needed me to complete. Please if anyone got accepted or is an alumni I would love to hear your thoughts on the program and any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Hey moonlightbae, thank you. It's a little difficult to say if its too late or not. Initially they told me there aren't any Spring admission but then asked if I wanted to apply for this month. Deadline was Jan 02nd. Call and speak to the nursing department and ask if they are still taking in admissions. I was also there today registering, maybe we passed each other lol.

Congrad, I also got accepted but wont be going because there nursing classes are in the day. I went with a program that have nursing classes during the evenings and weekends.

Congrats LondonParis, that was my only hang up. I needed evening classes due to my job but at the time I was working two jobs, morning and evening so I had to quit the morning job and thank goodness my evening job is so flexible and supportive. What school did you get accepted to?

Congratulations!! I was wondering what you needed for their application? They have options for an essay and recommendations, did you give them those two things?

Thank you Jay3620, their application is really straight forward. An essay and recommendation is recommended but not mandatory . I didn't do a recommendation but I wrote an essay then just filled out the application online. I did most of prerequisites at Cuny and all were transferred over. I suggest you do the application ASAP, the nursing program fills up fast and they will evaluate your credits early to see what you need to take for the program. Best of luck.

That's great, so far, I like the school. haven't had any negative experience. Everyone is pleasant and you do see the same people over and over, because the school is small which I like. Hope to see you in class this Fall. Best of luck.
