Just curious but what is everyone’s opinion on what is considered a “ competitive GPA” I feel like it’s 3.7 + 

I would think around there too. I know they list the minimum as 2.8, but I really can't imagine it's very common with GPA's of that score to get through when you have almost a thousand applicants every year. I'm also not sure if they mean pre-req GPA or overall undergrad GPA or both.

Re: affordable programs in NY. I live in NYC where the most affordable private ABSN programs are about 60k and as much as 115k for NYU or Columbia. I REALLY don’t care to be 60k-100k in debt.  I applied to Stony Brook which was my first choice but didn’t get an interview. They are just very competitive because of the tuition and proximity to NYC, same with SUNY Downstate. If you’re willing to move further away from the city I suggest University at Buffalo, which costs 24k and is a great program. Also SUNY Brockport near Rochester. I got into both and even with housing costs they’re far more affordable than private schools. I ended up accepting admission to Villanova near Philadelphia with a half ride scholarship which starts in May. So there are other affordable programs out there with good reputations.

She didn't say today but the way she wrote that leads to me to believe they will be sent out today.

Last year they came out on January 14th at 3:50 pm for the 1 year, and on April 9th at 4:24 for the 2 year. I think it could be any time up until about 5 honestly!

Do you guys know if they also send rejection letters same time and day or only the acceptance letters? Agreed that this is so stressful! I keep refreshing my email!
