Stony Brook Basic BSN Fall 2012

[kitkats4breakfs]

Hello everyone!

I applied to Stony Brook's Basic (2-year) BSN program 3 weeks a go and thought it may be helpful to start up a forum.

If you are:

currently applying or plan on applying, a former applicant, a current SBU student, I'd love to hear from you!

Has everyone finished their perquisites? Does anyone else have a not so competitive GPA (like me)? Does anyone know who is considered a competitive applicant? Where is everyone else applying?

I look forward to speaking with everyone and hopefully entering the Fall '12 class together!

I finishing my unrestricted electives for SBU this semester, last semester I finished w/ a 3.8gpa. I'm CPR BLS w/ AED certified and I volunteer at a major hosp affiliated w/ stony brook. Where I get to talk to some of the nurses that went through the SBU nursing program. They tell me so many nice things about it! And going for the bachelors program is the best route to go. I'm so nervous because I know someone that applied was wait listed. She has a 4.0 and applied for both the basic two year and accelerated. And its her second year applying! Best of luck to everyone!! I just want to know already the wait is too much lol

Me too. I'm totally obsessed with solar. Finally I gave up and contacted hsc via email as to when we would hear from them. I was told decisions would come out mid-April. This wait is killing me!

Does anyone know exactly what changes you will see on solar when accepted?

I hear that your solar will say "new student" if you get accepted....ok so three more weeks of a wait, I guesse I just need to stop thinking about it! I'm really going crazy!! Good luck to everyone :)!

Has anyone noticed the quick links tab on their solar page?

What do you mean?

[BioD1234]

Yes, what does that mean? It was never on there before

[SBHopeful]

If you hit main menu you will see the quick links tab. I just noticed it and was wondering if it meant anything. When I click on it student financial services, off campus housing, dining services etc show up.

[BioD1234]

I think I remember seeing that a while back now that I think about it

[nynurse1232b]

I'm pretty sure that means nothing. When I applied to Stony Brook right out of high school new tabs just kept showing up. If it doesn't have anything under new student that reads congrats on acceptance it really isn't going to help you. I think there were some tabs about setting up your accounts but that isn't going to change a acceptance/denial decision.

[Mindylane]

Oh, I always had that stuff, since I've already been an SBU student I guess.

[SBHopeful]

Lol I guess I'm kind of slow I just noticed the links.

So basically we should find out this week sometime right? By next week the latest?
