SUNY Downstate ABSN June 2012

Published

Hi everyone! I am new to All Nurses but I've noticed that no one has started a thread for the SUNY Downstate June 2012 ABSN program (or maybe I just didnt see it). Is anyone out there applying for it????:):)

I had my application in in November and just finished my last prereq. I haven't heard yet. So nervous to be rejected or wait-listed!!

ccaalee,

Did you apply to the BSN program?

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply but yes, I applied for the Accelerated BSN.

How do you know if you got on the waiting list?

If you are placed on the alternate list, you will receive a package with a letter, medical forms and financial aid information. My letter came a week ago.

Can't believe I got wait listed! I got into Drexel and FDU. I scored top 95% percent in TEASV and have 4.0 in all my prerequisites. Geeze.... Is this program even any good? I was told that the neighborhood is bad and the program is very disorganized. I live in nj so it won't even be that cheap for me.

From what I have heard, this program looks closely at letters of recommendation and past experience, not just grades, but I am not sure.

I got waitlisted too. Boo.

Does anyone here know of anyone who was rejected? I feel like everyone was waitlisted that wasn't accepted.

I actually got a rejection letter yesterday, which I find amusing because I never even finished submitting the application. I think I submitted the online portion, but never sent in transcripts, a personal statement, the application fee or anything. Just seemed like a waste of paper to me, because it was pretty obvious that I wasn't going to be attending, but oh well. I realized that the commute would just be too difficult for me out in Suffolk County.

Ok, so rejection letters do exist for this school. I understand what you mean about the commute.. I am in Suffolk also and driving 2 hours to Brooklyn twice a day is something that I am dreading. I would rather sit on the train into the city than sit in traffic on the Southern State/Belt.

don't be disappointed, for those who didn't receive their letter. there would be another acceptance letter that would soon be sent out. it would be in the month of may. relax. and stop calling

Another round of letters are coming out in May?

That seems very late for a program that starts in early June!

yes in may would be the last letter . right now just relax. if u cant relax apply to pace. they are accepting students. you don't need to take any examination and the requirements are the same with downstate . pace university is actually very easy to enter and they are actually better than downstate. they (pace) do have real teachers and nurses teaching. the bad side to pace is the cost. it is a private university. try them out . i did . and i am leaving downstate for them.
