Stony Brook Basic BSN Class of 2022

[cew530]

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!!

For anybody that interviewed today, did they happen to say how many applications there were?

Apparently there were "thousands" I heard from another student that they received roughly 1200, with 120 interviews, and 60ish spots open.

Wow that's insane. That's almost double the amount of applications as last year. I have my interview tomorrow so I will ask and confirm!

I’ve heard they usually take 80. Are they taking less this year?

[cew530]

@samg1 last year they started taking 65. They have 15 spots reserved for "Nursing Scholars" who have high SAT scores in high school. They basically get to skip the whole application process

What questions do they usually ask during the interview?

Someone in the Facebook Pre-Nursing Society group said that questions similar to what is posted on the Stony Brook Career Center website (link pasted above) could be fair game. Good luck! ?

Thanks for sharing that! I'll add that to my 7 pages of generic nursing school questions I found online! ?

Hello everyone!

Just found this site, and I am glad that this post exists! I have my interview scheduled for next week, super nervous!

For anybody that interviewed this week, how was your experience? Was it what you expected or terrifying?

[cew530]

@sunnyjo I interviewed last week. They try to make you as comfortable as possible and make it a relaxed environment. They’re just trying to get to know you!

Looks like interviews are all finished. I’m sure everyone did great! Now the dreadful waiting begins again ?

Been stressing since last Wednesday.

Thankfully studying for Finals for my winter session has given me a welcome distraction from this ordeal ?
