SUNY Downstate Accelerated BSN Program 2014-2015

Published

Hey Everyone!

I figured I should start a new thread for the upcoming round of decisions. How are you all feeling? What are your backgrounds? Have you applied to other schools? My application is in the review progress, so my fingers are crossed and hopes are high!

Looking forward to the conversation :)

Draf77, that is what I meant. If they let us know the day before it will be difficult to get all that blood work done before the start.

If you are chosen as an alternate, they will send you the same paper work as if you have been accepted. That way if you need to start the program at a day or weeks notice, your paper work is already on file and you are ready to go.

I got my alternate paperwork today... haven't decided if I'm going to fill it out or not. I got into another school and don't know if I should even bother

I still haven't heard back. When I called on Wednesday, I was told that a decision has been made, but a letter has not been sent out yet. I was told the same thing 2 weeks ago as well- how long does it take them to write up a letter?!!?!?!

ditto on getting the alternate paperwork yesterday... Going to send back to them my decline of being put on the wait list. At least they finally got back!

I got my alternate paperwork yesterday also. I plan to accept. However I'm a bit worried because I graduate this semester. My last finals are on May 20 and it will take a while for professors to post the grades and for the graduation office to process my diploma after that yet Downstate states on the alternate paperwork that they need official transcript and diploma by May 30th ... :/

Does anyone know the likelihood of getting off the wait list? From pervious blog posts or anything like that? thanks.

Getting off the wait list varies from year to year. Last year, we had several people join our class from the wait list (one the day after our orientation day). If you are on the wait list, do not lose hope. Fill out your paper work and get it in quickly. They will pick people who have all of their items finished first.

Also, if you are taking a class, get your final grade or a status report from your professor in quickly as well. If you are doing a volunteer stint in a health setting, get someone to send in an evaluation or letter of support on your behalf. The point is to get noticed and plucked from the crowd.

Good luck.
