Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

bloodorange · Oct 23, 2013

I had my interview yesterday and I think it went well? It turned out I was a little more tongue-tied and nervous than I thought I'd be, haha! The math was basic but not easy -- as everyone else said, brush up on your fractions, ratios, long division, etc. The faculty members were very kind and welcoming. Now all there is to do is wait... :nailbiting:

blood orange: how long did they say the wait will be?

Hi anna91 - ridiculously enough, we all forgot to ask! I'm trusting the previous poster's "4-6 weeks" response :)

During my interview, I was told 4-6 weeks. She said to expect a decision around Thanksgiving.

Hi JessW where did you hear if you don't get an interview we still have a chance of getting in? I hope this is true since I did not get a call yet but find it hard to believe why would they pick somone who wasn't picked for the interview?

beestar · Oct 24, 2013

i also agree with this. I haven't gotten a call for interview. But then again, I applied on Oct. 15th. Did anyone applied on this day (or even after) and gotten a call for interview? Or anyone, who also applied on this day didn't get a call for interview, just like me..?

I am also wondering if anybody applied for the program while finishing their undergrad.?

ash6117 · Oct 24, 2013

Hey beestar I didn't submit my application until the 16th and I also didn't get a call

Same here, I submitted on October 16th, and I haven't heard back yet !

Hey Ash6117 I never heard this, I was quoting someone else who said this is what they heard :) I agree with you, find it hard to believe as well. Good luck to you!

Tbellx12, where did you hear this? Has Stony Brook ever interviewed before? Makes me feel a little better..

@JessW, A friend of mine is in the 2-year program and is also a member of the SB Pre-Nursing society, so she hears tidbits of news every now and then; this is where I heard that not being invited for an interview does not mean that you haven't been accepted. This is the first year that Stony Brook is conducting interviews, so the process may be a bit hectic for them. As a reference, I was called today at 1:03 P.M. and was invited to interview Monday morning at 8 AM. I submitted my application (including my recs and everything) on October 8th, so I received the call just over two weeks after applying. Hope this helps, and best of luck to everyone applying!
