SUNY Downstate FNP application fall 2020

[jbd]

Hi! Did anyone apply to downstate's FNP program fall of 2020, and if yes, were you called for an interview?

I haven’t been called for an interview yet, but I also submitted my application at the last minute on the deadline. Does everyone get interviewed?

[Nursetanny]

hey waiting on a call back as well.

When did you submit? I did I January so hoping that they just haven’t started the interview process for those who applied later

Hi,

I submitted the application in the end of December. I just checked my application status, still "Screening in Process". And I discovered that the application deadline extended to 04/10/2020:

Yikes that sucks that they extended it. Mine also says screening in process. Submitted early January.

[naturalmystic_7]

From my research of other years, it seems like ppl started hearing back around the end of February, and they always extend the deadline to March. I’ve seen stories of ppl getting acceptance letters in April. So I’m guessing it’s still pretty early. The original deadline was January 31st.

Same here I submitted in December for the WHNP, it still says screening in process.

do you know for those selected after "screening", go through interview? is interview mandatory to be "officially" accepted (if they like you)

[jbd]

I think it’s a group interview, and no it’s not guaranteed that your accepted if you get called for an interview. Do y’all have lots of nursing experience?

[naturalmystic_7]

I only have 7 yrs experience. But my coworker who just graduated from SUNY did not have a lot of experience when she was accepted. She just graduated last yr.

Submitted Application Jan 31st, initial Deadline. Waiting to hear back as well.
