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?

Before the holiday break, I was told over the phone that decisions were already made. I don't want to jinx it, but I think if you were called in for an interview and did OK on the math and writing assessment - more than likely you will be accepted. I think they are just behind in paperwork things.

On another note, is anyone taking patho and pharma to get ahead this spring?

I wonder if more interview waves went out ? I feel like we would've heard though. Confused

I remember you saying that! Which makes it worse that rejections were decided on and the notifications for them were simply not sent out yet. I feel like it’s cruel to make someone wait so long if it’s a rejection.

I’m in the same boat, @slorte !! I would start in less than 3 weeks, but they need a ton of information due the 10th. ??‍♀️

I've been doing all the paperwork as if I am going. I would suggest you do to!!!! It would suck if you ended up in a situation with no options. Stony Brook is the first choice, but it can't hurt to have a back up. That's what I have been doing. Just doing everything as if I am going there and if it comes up that Stony Brook is an option at that point I will reevaluate. I may not get in to SB and wouldn't want to have passed up another opportunity!

Specializes in ER.

NYU was my dream school but I declined the offer, bc they only give you two weeks to respond. I walked out of that financial aid office so upset bc it’s not fair. I would have to be on three loans, including a scholarship (meager amount) compared to the total tuition. It was not worth it. I just hope I made the right choice.

I understand. I was accepted to University of Miami last week and I feel the same way. The tuition is crazy.

Completely agree! Emory was my dream school but the tuition is more for one semester there than the entire ABSN program at SUNY

Isn’t Umiami 40k? Not saying it’s cheap, but compared to most schools it’s not so bad
