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?

I got an email too, it was at 1:50. I know they usually do two waves of interviews, so don't give up if you haven't gotten one yet. I submitted my app late October and my gpa is 3.6 undergrad and 3.9 grad.... obviously I'm changing careers.

Do your chances for receiving an interview decrease the later you submit your application? I wasn't able to submit mine until the deadline.

I don't believe so, because I submitted my application on the day of the deadline as well.

were your science grades super good?

I don't think they necessarily pick people for an interview very heavily off of how they're science grades are. My science gpa is around a 3.6 but I know people who have gotten C+/B- in some sciences and still got interviews/accepted.

Umm mine were, I only had 4.0 grades for the program science requirements. I have no idea how much that is taken into account.

My science GPA was around a 3.6. I know people who got in with grades for the science pre reqs in the C+ - B- range though!

My science prereqs were all Bs and As. Everything else were As. I also have a bachelor's degree from Stony Brook, but I don't know if that helps.

My GPA is 3.9, approximately the same for my overall science GPA. But I've been working in Healthcare for almost 10 years. Although, not in direct patient care positions such as LPN or CNA.

Can anybody who has interviewed already explain how the group interview works? For instance, Is it awkward being the last of 6 people answering the same question?
