Hi do you guys know what kind of classes Stony Brook will accept for their "Global Issues" requirement?

I'm applying for fall 2015 too! I spoke in depth with ********* about the global issue req and she said it's any course where you learn about a different culture. I'm taking Western Civ to fill that requirement now.

Hi Everyone!

Hope you're all doing well! :) Im applying to SBU basic bsn program as well for fall 2015.

I have a BA in Communications/Marketing but unfortunately I was one science short from applying to the accelerated program. That's okay though, everything happens for a reason right?

So I have a question: My first degree gpa was a 3.23 ... And now it is a 3.9. I heard they want a cumulative of 3.6 or higher. Do you guys think the 3.23 will pull me down a lot? I'm so nervous. SBU is my number 1 choice.. I really hope and pray that I can get in.

I've decided against it. Seems like a really stressful process and it is an hour commute for me.

What do you believe is so stressful? Have you spoken to admissions about your concerns? They're usually very helpful and informative.

Current 2 year student here in the first semester. SBU doesnt only look at grades (there are people in my class with very diverse GPAs, ranging from 3.2 to 4.0). Anymore questions, i can help. Good luck guys!

What do you suggest I write in my essay? I'm struggling so much! I don't know where to start

They give you prompts in the application, I don't know which prompt you chose so I can't really suggest anything.

I will also be applying into SBU's Basic Program, and am wondering if it matters if I have no past experience in a hospital (as in hands on experience with patients). I do work at a Podiatrist's office as a receptionist and I also help with the examination rooms. I am a student at Hunter and my GPA is currently about 3.6. I am a junior at Hunter college, should I wait to get my degree at Hunter or apply to the basic program being the time I have left? Anyone ? :)
