Stony Brook Basic BSN Class of 2022

Hi everyone!! I decided I should start a thread for this year’s applicants so we can keep each other updated and answer questions.

I applied last year as well and was waitlisted, so if you have any questions I’d be happy to help!

Good luck everyone!!

Hey there ? would you mind sharing your stats from last year?

I applied to the Basic BSN as well as the accelerated BSN, but I'm really set on the accelerated program. I applied to both about a month ago and waiting has been such a drag.

Hey there! Sure! Last year I had a 3.64 cumulative GPA with a 3.00 science gpa.

This year, I have a 3.69 cumulative gpa with a 3.12 science gpa.

I know that they typically look for a 3.5 average science gpa and a 3.6/7 cumulative, but it really depends on your overall application! I have heard people who had 4.0 gpas who got rejected, and people with 3.0s that got accepted. Having great letters of recommendation and essay can definitely boost you up.

Waiting is is definitely the worst! Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi, any idea when we should be hearing about interviews ? Do they call you or email you ?

[cew530]

@beckanursa1 hi! They’ll email you. I think I heard back for an interview last year around January 15

[beckanursa1]

@cew530 thank you so much for your reply. I really hope for an interview opportunity. Fingers crossed ?

[cew530]

@beckanursa1 of course!! Good luck, and let me know if you have any more questions! ☺️

Thanks! ?

Hey Everyone!

My name is Emily and I will be applying for this program in December. I have finished all my perquisites and am currently in an 11 month LPN program. I will graduate in May. I applied to the program last year and did not get in. Hoping to get in got next fall!

Good luck everybody!

Hi! I just found out about this site through a friend applying to nursing programs elsewhere. ? Happy to know something like this exists!

I’m a first-time applicant and will be sending the application in by late December. I wanted to send it earlier, but I’m currently taking my third science pre-requisite. That’s okay, though - it gives me more time to really perfect my resume and essay. ?

I’m excited to apply, but really nervous all the same. Best wishes to all of you! Hopefully we all get accepted! ?

Hi everyone!

im also applying again. I applied last year and also got an interview but scored too low on the math test, which was annoying (I was too nervous) and didn’t get in. I was really close!! So I’m trying again now that I know what to expect. I also applied to SCCC as a backup ?

what’s everyone gpa?

my overall is 3.6 and science is 3.22.

[dandiellions]

@Feeij I’m sorry you didn’t get in the first time around! At least you know what to expect this time and will hopefully get accepted this cycle. ?

I finished last semester with a cumulative GPA of 3.47 and, if I calculated correctly, a science GPA of 3.5. I’m doing very well this semester, though, so I’m hoping both GPAs are higher by the time all is said and done.

Also, I know that for the writing sample and math exam during the interview, you get 25 minutes for each portion, but how many questions are usually included in the math section?
