StonyBrook ABSN: Class of 2021

Published

Hi all,

Thought I'd start a thread here so we can connect. I am in the process of taking my pre-reqs and plan to submit my application by the Oct 2019 deadline for the Summer 2020 start.

I'm planning on attending the Sept 19 info session on campus - anyone else going?

Hey Everyone,

I know that SBU accelerated nursing program relies heavily on GPA, so I've decided to explain my case to you, please let me know what you think. my accumulative GPA is not high an pre requisite GPA is ok. I believe I made a strong personal statement, by explaining my GPA and why I want to be a nurse. I also have 3 years experience in patient care, plus recently passed the NCLEX PN on my first trial with 85 questions. So now I am licensed to work in NY as an LPN. I summited 3 letters of recommendations, one from the dean of nursing program (LPN) I attended, the other from a professor at Columbia and lastly one from my clinical instructor. plus, I never received an email for an interview. I know while applying it ask if I was an EOP student and i replies yes , but that was during my undergrad. BTW I graduated from Stony Brook with Bachelor in Health Science concentration public health.

I worried that because of my GPA, I wont be accepted into the program and the wait is killing me!

If you haven't received an invitation by now your only hope would be getting an interview invitation in the next few months. This would be contingent on people rejecting their acceptances, and you meeting admission requirements. I don't know how their entire process works, but that's what seems to have happened in previous years.

I honestly think I was rejected, but thank you for your optimism. None the less I will continue to be positive. Good luck everyone!

I don’t think the office opens until 10AM so I’m going to try and not think about it until then. ?
