Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

KJM-RN, BSN · Apr 11, 2011

You are definitely the most deserving/qualified candidate I have heard of that did not get accepted. My apologies. Again, we don't know their reasoning. I am not a negative person, but let's be honest here, what would you(could you) have done differently? I would say nothing! I also can empathize with you about working so hard to mainitain an outstanding GPA, volunteering, having fabulous references, a kicking essay....and others that with less/missing piece(s) get in? I am very disheartened about this process. I also don't understand how I was waitlisted for the one year and rejected for the two?
I hope(know) things will work out for us all in the end. This is just a bump in the road,and eventually we all will get to that place we all deserve!

That really doesn't make sense that you would be waitlisted for a harder program, and rejected from the other. Thank you for your kind words, as well. Good Luck on getting off the wait list for the one year and into the program! :)

I had a bad semester (2.8), 8 years ago at an art school. That may have been negative, although I didn't expect it to count so much since I didn't even use a single credit on my application from that school. I can't take back the past either. I feel the only thing I could have done differently was to have applied to Stony Brook as a general student for this past year so I would have been applying to the nursing school already as a student of Stony Brook. I currently attend Suffolk Community. I had thought about applying to Stony Brook before, but I felt I should just stay at Suffolk and earn my associates. Suffolk was good for me to work around my schedule as I have a 3 year old and frequently have to babysit my epileptic niece. Other than that, I couldn't have done anymore than I did. I just think it's impossible to try and figure out who and what they want for their program. I guess there is no use trying anyway.

My solar hasn't changed either. I spoke to someone at the school of nursing and I was told I was wait listed. But I haven't gotten anything official yet. Apparently since we weren't accepted or denied we don't deserve to know we have been waitlisted. Lol

I went to the pre-nursing society meeting tonight, and both *******and *****said that 72 students were accepted and all decisions havent gone out yet but they are all made. Basically they said that there was no order to it and it doesnt mean we were accepted denied or wait listed if we havent heard yet, but i find that hard to believe! oh well i guess we just have to keep waiting :mad:

Ugh the last few weeks have just been so completely frustrating. Thanks for the info though, since I'm not a current sb student I miss out on these things. I don't understand why they're waiting if the decisions are all made.
