Hey guys! So I just applied to the SBU Basic (2 year) program a couple of days ago. I thought it would be nice to start a forum. Feel free to ask any questions! And good luck to all who are applying!!!
Not sure if it's at all related to the basic BSN (tend to think it isn't), but I just heard back from the RN-BSN that I was accepted this past Tuesday. It's a summer start program.
CONGRATS!!!! did your solar account have holds asking for your health clearance or anything prior to your acceptance? also did you get an email?
I didn't get any holds until after I was accepted, paid my deposit and it was a couple days later. I had just checked my solar account for any changes (which there weren't any). About an hour later I received an email stating that I was accepted and it told me to login to solar to accept or decline my acceptance. I promptly accepted the offer and paid my deposit, this was all on Tuesday afternoon. The next day my solar screen had a lot of extra tabs added and on Friday I had a hold for health forms (which are due this coming Wednesday approximately).
BTW, the acceptance is next to where it says to "view applicant decision", it will have a link that says "admission decision response". You'll definitely receive an email simultaneously as your solar changes though.
I know what you guys are going through though. I applied to the basic BSN program for fall 2011 start and was denied with a 4.0gpa and a significant amount of volunteer experience at SB, amongst other things that made me (or so I felt) a competitive applicant, no wait list or anything. I was accepted to an associate program and went with it, I'm graduating from the program in May and start the RN-BSN program in June. So even though I won't have a BSN when I'm job hunting, I feel it will still look good to employers that I'm in the program. I will tell you though that I was crushed when I was denied, as hard as it is to get into the basic BSN program, I felt that I had it. I'm very happy in the program I'm about to complete now and there are more than 1 way or 1 school to become a nurse.
Good luck to everyone waiting!
