I didn't see a discussion for the Farmingdale Spring 2017 class so I figured I would start one up! Just took my TEAS and came out with an 87.3, but my pre-reqs are what's worrying me. I graduated UMass Amherst back in Spring of 2014 with my BS in Kinesiology and decided after two years of working insurance, that it isn't for me. Came out of school with a 3.1 overall GPA because I was an idiot who liked to do more socializing then school work. Unfortunately it took 2 years of me working in the real world to realize that being a nurse is what I really want to do with my life.
My pre-reqs are:
A&P I & II - B+ in both (A in A&P I Lab and B+ in A&P II lab)
Stat - C+ in general statistics, A- in Biostats (no idea what they'll take)
Psych - B
English - B
I'm hoping someone can possibly give me some feedback based on previous experience? Thank you! Good luck to all
Ello friends. Fellow acceptee here! Pleasure to meet you. Congrats to everyone who got in! I imagine some of us will be spending a great deal of time together for the next three years. Looking forward to the journey. See you soon..
So I just got the letter of acceptance last night! Went online to submit my deposit for the spring. I think they might've charged me twice, yet I still have not received a confirmation e-mail. Did this happen to anyone else? Let me know, thanks!
Hi everyone! Congrats to those accepted. I'm currently waitlisted,keeping my fingers crossed for an acceptance. does anyone know when the last day to pay your deposit is?
I am interested in applying to Farmingdale. Would you all mind telling me what your gpas were? I am worried that with my gpa I may not get accepted into any school. Thank you!

Overall GPA about 3.8 science GPA 4.0, TEAS 94.7, although I kind of drove myself insane in the process of getting these stats....I think a 3.5+ and and 85+ TEAS would make you pretty competetive...most people Ive spoken to with these types of stats seem to get into places like molloy and adelphi no problem, just got to be willing to pay $$$
3.4 is not unrealistic at all, just make sure not to bomb the TEAS as it seems a lot of nursing schools weight this heavily. In terms of extracurricular activities I know Farmingdale College doesn't take these into account when selecting students. I specifically asked several times about recommendation letters, extracurrics, work exp, et cet. during the application process and was repeatedly told, "We only care about your numbers, THAT'S IT!" Not sure how other schools view these qualifications. Personally, I submitted nothing other than my scores and have no work or extracurric. exp. and got in...so I guess they're not lying.
