SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN june 2011 class

Mjrarmada · May 9, 2011

We were able to register up until May 6th, but I think registration will open up again on June 1st, the same day as orientation.

Judging from the other Downstate thread on here, others have already registered for classes. I'm confused as to exactly when is the last time we (alternates) might here about acceptance into the program.

im confused too

wow i am definitely confused! i am on waitlist and still waiting to hear, would love to get the news but not feeling so hopeful. whoever posted that they got in off the waitlist last year, did you say you heard on june 1? i have a trip planned for may 30; i was going to go on it but now i am questioning if that is a bad idea because i could hear something? does anyone have any idea how many people are on the waiting list? every time i call they are extremely unhelpful and somewhat rude. i would love to hear updates from you all if you hear anything!

Wow that's crazy... to find out one day before school starts?!? I don't know about you but I'd need a lot more time than that to get ready for classes.

Thanks swimmy. You give me more hope. On your first post I thought you meant you already got called for this year. question do you remember if you had a number on your alternative package?

swimmy · May 31, 2011

no number

Hi. I just stumbled upon this thread and was wondering for those who got accepted, how were your grades? I know the competition is pretty nuts for Downstate. I'm applying for next summer, June 2012 and I've got mostly A's, less B's, and 2 C's in my pre-req course list. Do you think the C's will greatly hinder my chances or I'm alright? I have a bachelor's in Medical Illustration and have experience with gross dissection so I hope that might heighten my chances of being accepted. Also any suggestions towards the application process?

Thanks

I think realistically, the C's will hurt. My impression is that they will "forgive" a few clunkers in a long ago bachelors, but your current pre-reqs, especially the science pre-reqs, should be stellar. Best advice would be to make an appointment with the admissions office and sit down with someone face-to-face and ask.

This year they accepted about 40 from 500+ applications, so they can afford to be choosy.
