Stony Brook Basic BSN Class of 2022

Updated:   Published

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!!

can everyone that got an email please post your stats? thanks

I submitted my application on the deadline date and got my interview request today hopefully they are still sending them out the next few days I wish everyone the best of luck!

What should Candidates wear to the interview? And should males have facial hair or shave?

As a male, I'm likely to shave my beard. Some people are telling me to wear a suit but I think that is overkill, I'm probably just going in chinos, button-down shirt, and v-neck sweater. In other words church clothes

So I called the SON and they said all emails have been sent out. Sorry to those who were still waiting, you’ll still become a great nurse elsewhere!

thanks for sharing the info even though that sucks for me.

they don't notify us that we weren't accepted?? there has been no communication at all since I submitted the application - i would think they would at least tell us to move on.

@chanuts me too, it sucks. I have no idea how they choose people since I know numerous people with outstanding applications who have not been chosen. People slip through the cracks I guess. Better to know that way we can move on and apply to other programs. are you a current stony student?

@tsap4323nope, not currently a stony student. i'm a post-bacc student (career switcher from the business world). i wonder if my pre-reqs didn't meet their standards - wish they would let us know. maybe i'll try emailing them and seeing if i get a response.

I’m 44 and on my 3rd career and I got an interview, so I don’t think age has anything to do with it. Unfortunately, they don’t let anyone know what they thought of the application essay and LORs and they play an important role. Good luck to you ?

This is my second year trying and nothing (SB is my #1 choice). I'm an older applicant looking to switch careers because I fell in love with nursing where I work. Unfortunately, my stats aren't as competitive as the many other talented folks here and figure that may be why I'm not receiving offers.

I've applied to a few other places and am waiting to hear back (fingers crossed). But, I do want to say congrats to those who are advancing! Best of luck on your interviews. I believe you all will make amazing nurses!

I just got off the phone with the School of Nursing and the lady on the phone said interview emails are still being sent out and can be sent out until March, when the decisions are being made. I confirmed with her that it was the interview emails that I am talking about and that this is for the Basic BSN program.

I know a previous post said that they sent them all out. I haven't heard back myself but if what the lady said is true, let's keep our hopes up!

At this point, I’m assuming that those of us who don’t hear back by Friday evening aren’t being considered at all since interviews start on Tuesday.

@PitlessAvocado thats interesting. I definitely called and spoke to the SON, and they said they have all been sent out.
