Stony Brook Basic BSN Class of 2018

Published

Hey Everyone,

Now that the deadline for the class of 2018 Basic BSN program at Stony Brook University is coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to and for all applicants. I hope there isn't already a thread made already because I searched thoroughly but could not find one. If you have any questions or just want to talk feel free to comment. Best of luck to all of you on your applications!

You do not need a bachelors for the 2 year program, that is only reuqired for the 1 year accelerated program.

What I meant was that its like redoing the last two years of college for those of us who have already graduated from a 4 year school.

I googled the acceptance rate for stony... its 41.3%, but I'm guessing the school of nursing has a much lower rate of acceptance.

Yeap, when I was applying, i think there were close to 3000 applicants and then they interviewed/tested 200 of which 80 were accepted.

thanks for your response! do you know if they might accept pathophysiology from another SUNY school? Also, what is the schedule like once you're in the program? Do you have a breakdown of which classes for each semester?

I'm pretty sure there are around 600 applicants not 3000. I was told this multiple times by the staff from the school of nursing. They also told me that there are 200 interviews and then 80 are accepted which is consistent with what you said. If there were 3000 applicants that would mean it's a less than 3% acceptance rate which I would hope isn't true haha

There is about 10% or so acceptance rate.

600 people apply, 175-200 get interviews and 80 are accepted. On the bright side, a lot of people who don't get interviews are those who did not fill out the application correctly/ get all their recommendations in.

My apologies and cheers to that!

They are constantly changing the curriculum almost every year so take this answer for what its worth. You will typically have classes 3-4 times a week that run from 8/9am-3/4pm, sometimes with 2 hours or more break time in between. You also have one day a week dedicated to clinical, which for the first two semester is 8 hours long and then changes to 12 hours for the last 2 semesters. Also, your clinicals in the first year only tun for half a semester whereas in your second year they eill be split among two classes so you will have clinicals for the majority of the semester, also keep in mind that your clinical can fall on a weekend.

Hello all! I was finally glad to see that there's a thread for SBU Nursing Class of 2018. I submitted my application on January 7, the actual deadline for this upcoming fall. I just received an email about setting up an interview today! I was extremely ecstatic at the email but at the same time I thought I would have waited longer from reading previous threads on past SBU Nursing admissions. Anyways, I would love to hear about everyone else and their experiences so far.

Thank you so much! I was expecting to wait at the end of next month too but I guess they might want to send the first round of interviews early? But I scheduled it for February 9 so wish me luck!
