SBU NURSING APPLICANTS FOR FALL 2017

Hey guys! I've decided to start this thread for all applicants. I know it's a bit early but I'm hoping we can all help each other! Last year I applied for the Basic BSN program and was chosen for an interview. Unfortunately, I wasn't selected for the program. I was accepted to SBU and decided to attend this year and take some classes. I've already received my associate degree in Liberal Arts from NCC. Where is everyone transferring from?

Hey Lizzy, I'm in the Health Sciences major at SBU also! So last year we were notified about the interview in early February. The interview consists of the group interview with about five other applicants. There were about 6 questions. After our interview we had to write an essay on the computer (the question was similiar to the essay/ personal statement). Then we had a short math exam to do. It was basic math with some dosage questions, long division, multiplication. Then applicants started receiving letters mid April.

So my app is officially on solar. I didn't realize you just use the same solar account when you are already a SBU undergrad. It says everything was received (even my SBU official transcript). I also took classes at SCCC for which it says my official transcript has not been received but I was under the impression that you only needed to send official records upon admission to the program. Can anyone verify this?

Dani- what do you mean by dosage questions?

You are correct. Official transcripts are only submitted if you are offered admission. Unofficial transcripts that were uploaded to the application are all they need for the application process itself.

I just received my SOLAR login today and all it's saying is that my fee and 3 letters of recommendation are received. It says nothing about unofficial transcripts or essay being received. Should I be worried?

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back for an interview after receiving our solar log in? Are they going to call or notify us via email?

Thanks!

I'm so nervous! My gpa at Pitt was a 3.0 and at SUNY orange it's a 3.8. I've held multiple executive board positions - within my sorority, Panhellenic Judicial Board, I was a director of the largest student run philanthropy organization on campus (raised over $200,000 for the children's miracle network), and I helped start an annual event where we collect non perishable food items for the Pitt pantry (so students who can't afford to grocery shop have some resources to get food), the Greek week board (organized blood drives on campus), be the match (helped encourage people to swab their cheeks so that they are identified as a potential bone marrow donor match), safe smart dating (group leader), GAMMA (educated people on making smart decisions about alcohol), and several others. I also volunteered at the children's hospital of Pittsburgh, family house, soup kitchens, cleaning the Pittsburgh community, and at the boys and girls club. I also participated in and helped run many seminars and workshops dealing with mental health, stress relief, helping combat sexual assault on campus, and identifying dating abuse. I also got 5 LoR - one from an employer, two from teachers, and 2 from healthcare professionals. i also submitted my essay AND a personal statement. I hope I have enough, I really want to go here.
