University at Buffalo ABSN 2021

Published

Hi everyone! I am taking the prerequisites I need to apply to the University at Buffalo ABSN program, to hopefully start in May 2021. I was wondering if anyone has any idea which types of applicants tend to get in (what kind of experience they have, etc.), and how much they value healthcare experience. Any input at all about the program is greatly appreciated!

Thanks @butfirstcoffee12 ? I'm never afraid to ask questions.  @RN2B29 sorry to bury your questions, I didn't have a response to either of them but for anyone else who might be able to provide feedback, I quoted them here.

I don’t think they really care if you change where you’re taking the pre-reqs as long as you make sure it’ll transfer in alright (Taurus). I was emailing Julie the other day and she gave me a list of suggestions on where to take some of the pre-reqs I still have left, so I’m assuming that means we can take it anywhere that’s certified by UB. And I didn’t do the scholarship part.

Hahah if you want to I definitely recommend making an account because from what I’ve heard from people in past cohorts, most of them found their roommates through the fb group!

If anyone isn't able to find a roommate in the FB group, I live 1.5 miles from campus and have an extra room - you just have to be okay with my dog.  No pressure, the room isn't going anywhere - good luck everyone with your moves and remaining classes ?

I've officially declined my acceptance to UB so hopefully someone on the waitlist hears good news soon! Wishing you all a super successful new year!

Congratulations @kalebiscuits! Stinks we won’t be classmates, but happy for you and good luck! ? 

Did anyone send their current ABSN student who contacted them a thank you letter? Been meaning to ask the group.
