Hi everyone,

I've started this thread so we can discuss and share our experiences applying to SUNY's ABSN program for 2021. Being that the application period just opened, I’m sure we can all benefit from sharing information in regards to the process.

Best of luck to those applying!

Hi, my application still says it's on hold because I have to finish my math prerequisite and my degree

I also want to say that you guys should prepare for your interview to be one on one. I was expecting a group interview but I was by myself. I tried my best to think of questions that might be asked the night before. But, it's a very relaxing setting and nothing to worry about. They told me after the interview, you should receive a decision about a week or more after

What was the interview like? Who else has gotten an interview? I applied in October and have been waiting so anxiously. 

[christinaaaax, BSN]

It was just generic questions like describe yourself. She really took my personal statement into account. They throughly look through your application. So they already know who you are on paper. I think they mainly just want to see what your personality is like to see if you would be a good fit in the program

I applied towards the end of October so you should be hearing back soon. My TEAS score was 89.4 in reading, 93.8 in math and 91.5 in science. I submitted a recommendation from my old supervisor and one of my current professors.

Did the interview take the full hour?

Yeah, we finished in an hour. They are going to send you the link the morning of so don't be worried if they didn't send it already

I submitted my application in October but I was finishing Microbiology which I submitted the grades in before Christmas. Does that make it so they would review my application only after my grade was submitted?

Has anyone heard back about interviews today?

That is what happened to me too. I submitted my grade after I submitted my application and it was marked missing. I notified admissions that I submitted my grade and they updated. How does your checklist look? Does it day you are missing your grade for micro?

I submitted the grade as soon as I received the transcript from school. My application still has no updates besides filed to program for review... did yours change before they called you?

Honestly I just checked mine and it days screening complete. When I checked last week it was filed forwarded to program for review

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I think my application is complete and just waiting for someone to see it I guess ?. I wonder if anyone has received any calls today.
