Stony Brook ABSN Class of 2022

[dandiellions]

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. ?

Understood, so you need at least 3 to APPLY, but all 4 completed to be admitted.

Yes, you need 3 done for them to consider your application but all 4 need to be done by the start of the program, if accepted.

Anyone hear anything yet? I wonder if they'll be doing in-person interviews the way they did prior to the pandemic...
Best of luck, everyone!

Nothing yet! Based on previous threads I think people started hearing back about 2 weeks after the application deadline passed.

Yeah I applied in August and SBU doesn’t even look at applications until the October deadline has passed, so everyone hears at the same time!

Last year the first round of interview invitations were sent out the Monday after Columbus Day weekend! So if they’re sticking to the same schedule, we’ll hopefully hear something on the 19th. AHH so nervous!!

Hi everyone!

I submitted my application on the 7th and I am so nervous because my undergrad GPA isn’t the greatest including my pre-req GPA but I do have my masters in health administration and my cumulative GPA was a 3.9. I also currently work as an office manager in a cardiology practice. I am hoping I get the chance to be interviewed. Fingers crossed for everyone!
