Stony Brook ABSN Class of 2022

Published

Stony Brook School of Nursing has recently opened the undergraduate application portal for the 2021 school year. I was part of an allnurses thread for their Basic BSN program last year, and the information and support from other applicants was amazing; so I jumped on creating a thread for this cycle as soon as applications became available.

Any questions or even just casual discussion about the program is more than welcome! Can’t wait to talk to all of you. ?

Specializes in Health & Human Services/Pre-Nursing.

Does anyone know for Stony Brook if they place more importance on cGPA rather than sGPA or other way around?

From what I’ve seen from the last few cycles, they don’t seem to place one more higher than the other like some other programs do. But it looks like they use the cGPA to weed out people in the beginning.

If sGPA is pre-req GPA I’d think the pre-req GPA since those are the courses you need to take for the program. While I’m sure cGPA has some importance (e.g. above the minimum, how much? Who knows, LOL) I’d think pre-req GPA.

That's how I'll do it if I were the dean, but who knows what they think ?

Hi everyone! ? 

Did any of you add a heading to the essay? Also, did you guys submit it as a pdf or word doc?

Hi!

I did not add a heading. I hope we weren't supposed to. Also, I submitted as a PDF.

For font/font size did everyone do the standard 12 font times new roman?

Hi guys, I just submitted my application as well. But my essay I uploaded today at 2:46pm and when I submitted my application it was 3:10pm. The status of my essay said awaiting but it stated it was uploaded under the upload documents section. I was confused so I reuploaded the same essay at 3:14pm to see if it would change the status of my essay. It didn't, until 3:35pm. Now I have 2 copies of the same essay uploaded. Do you think this will affect my application? I just emailed stony brook to see but I have to wait at least 3 days for a response. Someone please give me a peace of mind!
