it seems like only one person on the thread was contacted for an interview. its still early! try not to think about it. is everything updated on your SOLAR? everything was marked as received (except official transcripts) as of yesterday. i'm guessing the initial overload of applications has been settled.

Yea everything is updated..I'm not giving up hope just yet lol. I'm applying to the two year as well and suffolk and Farmingdale. I'm definitely hoping for a bsn program though

Hi everyone!

I applied to the accelerated program at SB in early September and received an email a few days ago to schedule an interview (it will be Oct. 21). I'm sort of in shock because SB was a "stretch" program for me- one that I would really love to go to but do not expect to be accepted to. Now that I have an interview, my hopes are way up for all of those low-gpa applicants such as myself (3.17). Good luck to you all! I will probably be lurking around this forum to unload some of this anxiety, or at least share it with all of you :nailbiting:

I have an an undergrad GPA of 3.17 too but my sciences are 4.0 so far (still taking micro). I submitted my app for the 1 yr program on Oct 1st but I think it's relatively early to hear back, at least for me. I plan to apply to SBs 2yr as well if I don't get into the 1yr, but I'm curious: is it better to complete an accelerated 1 yr program at another SUNY school or attend Stony Brook and complete it in 2yrs?

SB is my top choice for so many reasons, getting accepted into either program would make me the happiest person alive. There's advantages to both schools, the other SUNY vs SB, but I feel a degree from SB would be mean so much more regardless of the amount of time it takes to complete. Or is that just me? lol

Hi guys! Just wanted to give an update: I received the email for an interview today. Hopefully a few others did as well!

lyspo · Oct 14, 2015

thats great news, congrats @zvolquez! has anything on your SOLAR changed since you received your interview email?

Lorid423 · Oct 14, 2015

Just scheduled mine also! So excited! One step closer and now I'm super anxious!

Fran_3 · Oct 14, 2015

When are your interviews? Hopefully we can somehow meet! Mine is Monday at 2!

currlysue · Oct 14, 2015

@alypol thanks! from what I can tell nothing really changed in SOLAR, no new msgs/new actions or anything. when I view my application status it just takes me to the supporting documents page.

currlysue · Oct 14, 2015

Congrats to you both! I'm glad we can go through this process together. I scheduled mine for the 28th at 10. I have exams with school so I wanted to give myself enough time.

@Fran_3 How prepared do you feel?

Lorid423 · Oct 14, 2015

Mine is Friday the 23rd at 9am. Im pretty nervous but happy I have a shot.
