Nope, my status is still “file forwarded to program for review”

nervousaf · Mar 2, 2021

Hello everyone! Just out of curiosity, is there anyone who has not submitted their application yet? I plan on submitting my application the day before the extended deadline.

Has anyone recently contacted admissions in regards to the decision timeline?

lizz87 · Mar 2, 2021

yes, I spoke to someone in admissions a few days ago. she said that everything has been pushed forward because the deadline has been extended. Interviews included. hopefully this month we start hearing about interviews/decisions if they have already happened. this wait is insane!

Thanks for the update! Although confused because when I emailed them they never had a mention about interviews. The only thing they said was that decisions should start this month

Prayers up that one of us gets called soon!! I'm excited for this timeline to finally end ?

Hey guys! My status on the home page changed to Under Program Review. Did it change for anyone else too?

christinaaaax, BSN · Mar 8, 2021

My home page used to say screening in process. Now it says File forwarded to Program for Review. But, I’ve had that status for the last couple of months.

Yes hopefully we hear back soon. Does anyone know if downstate accepts Pathophysiology from another school or do we have to take it with them. I am taking it now and don’t want to waste my time for no reason

They don't. I'm currently in the Downstate ABSN program and I emailed so many people asking about this but they just told me the handbook was no longer applicable (eyeroll). However, I took patho at BMCC the semester before I started Downstate and it was helpful to have the foundations of the class. I actually found BMCC's class went way more in depth than at Downstate so it wouldn't be a *total* waste.

Good luck to everyone waiting to hear back!

Still no updates. ? Not even sure if this is really rolling admissions anymore LOL.

Hi everyone! Brand new here, and kinda can't believe I made it this far and applied, but I wanted to drop in and share in the excitement/anxiety while we wait for answers. I applied this week with 2 pre-reqs still in progress but am crossing my fingers I get in. I'm 31, live in Brooklyn, and am hoping to change careers finally into the nursing field. I've got volunteer experience in a hospital and am in school right now having just completed microbio and anatomy/physiology 1. Still working on Chemistry and A&P 2. My previous bachelor's is in Anthropology, and I'm currently a customer service manager at my company in Manhattan where I've been for about 6 years now (yeah, I'm definitely making a big change, LOL) and if it matters my stats are:

science GPA: 4.0

pre-req GPA: 3.6

overall GPA: 3.13 (blah, stupid undergrad years - I was working 40 hours a week during school and that wasn't so easy, but I explained it a little in my statements.)

oh, and my TEAS scores were actually higher than I expected, I got an 89.3 overall with a 100 in math and 85 in science and reading. Always dreamt of working in healthcare, so I sincerely hope there's a chance I get in and maybe even. get to meet some of you fine folks in the accepted class. We'll see! Good luck everybody!
