SUNY-Stony Brook ABSN Class of 2020

Published

I looked around hoping to find a thread but only found previous years. I applied early September for the program and have seen been playing the waiting game. I'd like to hear from others who applied, maybe I can help answer some questions and we can all offer each other support.

Anyone else mind sharing their stats?

Graduated from my undergrad with a 3.6. I have a mix of A's and B+'s for my prereqs although I'm still completing some this semester. I anticipate getting A's. I am currently employed at a hospital in the field I'm interested in and I submitted four LOR.

Graduated from Stony Brook with a 3.85, but a year in law school brought me to a 3.5; my science prereq GPA is a 4.0. Besides stats, which I have a B in, I have all As in my prereqs, and I'm finishing up micro this semester. I'm a yoga teacher, and volunteered in a nursing home for a few months, and a rough pregnancy and delivery is what brought me to nursing. I would love to work in a hospital until school starts (wishful positive thinking!). Has anyone had trouble finding work in a hospital? If so, how did you get in? I've been applying to pretty much all hospital jobs in LI and NYC for months and haven't gotten one call back. It's kind of shocking. Also, anyone take the TEAS? SBU said they don't require it but a great score would bulk up the application, so, I'm regretting not taking it now.

Undergrad GPA: 3.56

Prerequisites: 4.0 (Science 4.0)

I did take the TEAS and got a 92%. I'm hoping that that helps my chances, I know SB is a very competitive school!

I spent a few years as a math teacher and the last 6 as an engineer/manager in manufacturing.

Good Luck everyone!!!

Just got an interview email. Had my application done and all LORs in by 8/22. The first day offered for me was 10/29. There were more options that week and a few days available for the week after that. Picked the 29th. Better to get it done and not let it hang out there and fester!

Just got the email today too! Submitted my application on October 1st. Is anyone else nervous about the interview/essay/math test?

I don't think there's too much to worry about that you can control. Last year's forum said it was straightforward. The math is some conversions and fraction/percentages work. Practice general interview questions and know why you actually want to be in the program and become a nurse, and you should be fine. The hardest part is just beating the numbers, and I'm sure work history, grades, and application are a large part of your "score". Since it's too late to change those things just be confident and thankful to be there.

For those who have been accepted, do you mind sharing your stats? Also, who was the sender of the email and what did it look like?

Congrats for those who've been accepted!
