Hi everyone,
I would like to discuss with other students admitted into the Stony Brook accelerated BSN, starting summer 2010.
I am curious to meet my future classmates!

Hi NickSBU, I am very interested in StonyBrook's program. I have a 3.1 GPA but volunteered at 3 hospitals and am going to work as a patient care technician in an ER starting this month. I was wondering if you could let me know if my experience will help compensate for my mediocre grades?

I barely had over a 3.0 and my experience was minimal
I think your personal statement/recommendation speaks volumes. Personally, I think those two things got me into the program.
Experience can't hurt but I really think you need to pour yourself into the statement. Moreover, choose carefully who you want to write recs (you need three).
GL!

Good luck to all of you that have begun the ABSN this summer. I was waitlisted and obviously not called to join you guys, but I WILL be reapplying! It was not meant to be for 2010 but I'm hoping this next year will be the charm. I am more confident in having a stronger application this year, with different recommendations, stronger experiences and completed list of prereqs!
BTW, new thread for people applying for Summer 2011 (shameless plug)

Hi NickSBU,
I saw some of your other posts as well in regards of applying to SUNY Buffalo. I think my GPA is similar to yours and I'm just wondering if you got accepted into SUNY Buffalo.
