Torshi Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 What airport should I fly too if I'm coming from Texas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLStoPA Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Torshi, I'm from Boston and I'm flying to Long Island MacArthur Airport (yes I should drive but I'm not). Its close to the school and there's a free shuttle from the airport to a hotel near by, and then there's a shuttle from the hotel to the school. No need to rent a car at all. Not many airlines fly to that airport because it's small, but Southwest does. You can check that out. Or you can fly to JFK and take the Long Island Railroad to Stony Brook directly (about 45 mins). Also a shuttle to the school from the train stop and the LIRR is accessible from JFK. Like I said I'm from Boston, but I've never been to the school before, but I have been to Manhattan, so this is all information I've read. Hope it helps or maybe a person from the school and/or Long Island can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashgooo Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm from Long Island and MLStoPA's advice is good. MacArthur is the closest airport to the school but JFK should be easy to take also. I've never had to fly from/to stony brook but there is a train station on campus so if you do fly into JFK, I think you can take the AirTrain from the airport to Jamaica station then take the Port Jefferson train line out to Stony Brook. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm also a Stony Brook Grad as well so if people have questions about campus, feel free to ask.

Torshi Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thank you, I might do the DFW to ISP then shuttle Few questions Is the class size only 40 or more this year? The email I received for the interview said 40, but from previous thread I saw that it was higher. Is the interview just two individual ones - asking basic questions? Sorry if repetitive.

cnguyenle Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Also how bad is the traffic in the morning? I booked a room at the hotel on the pdf they sent. Is that hotel far from the hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashgooo Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I haven't interviewed before so I'm not sure about that. I'm pretty sure it's about 40-44 people. Not sure the exact number of this years class. Traffic can be hell sometimes on Nicolls Road but if you're staying at the Holiday Inn listed in the email, it should be about a 10-15min ride. I heard that you can tell the hotel which shuttle you want to take and they'll help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torshi Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 it's 180 interviewed and 44 accepted = 24% acceptance rate (of course people give up their acceptances for other programs - so the percentage can increase a tad) - it's listed on their website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynPA-C Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Good luck to everyone interviewing this weekend!! I know you'll all be nervous, but it's a very laid back process. Just be yourself and you'll be fine! @cnguyenle - I'm not sure when you're going, but the traffic on Nicholls shouldn't be bad on a Saturday. During the week is another story. Give yourself an extra 10-15 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateAthens Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Agreed with BklynPA-S ! See all your smiling faces soon!! You'll do great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellyk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Am I the only one who submitted the supplemental and was offered an interview the next morning? I was kind of shocked by how quickly they responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyc010 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi guys, I was just wondering if everyone who's heard back from Stony ever got a confirmation email that they even received the CASPA app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parity Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I just received a supplemental; which is to say no formal acknowledgement of CASPA review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaurn3 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Am I the only one who submitted the supplemental and was offered an interview the next morning?

MLStoPA Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 So everyone who interviewed on Saturday, how was it? Care to share any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellyk Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Kaurn3, I submitted on Sept 3rd and received an interview for Oct 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaurn3 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Kaurn3, I submitted on Sept 3rd and received an interview for Oct 7th. That is kinda strange because wasn't the deadline to submit July 24th? Or was there another supplemental sent out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnguyenle Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I believe the supplemental was due 1 week after it was sent. So depending on when you received it, the due date may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellyk Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yea I accidentally missed the deadline because it was during finals for my summer classes and I got a phone call asking if I was still interested and I explained. Filled out the supplemental two days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umscheidj Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The interview was pretty short overall. I did the noon session and was done by 3:30. The students meet you in the lobby, bring you to the classroom in the back of the hospital. Then you get an overview of the program and either go for a tour or go to your interviews. There were 10 rooms with 2 people each interviewing people one on one. Some were students, faculty, and preceptors. The questions were pretty much what you expect. It was a very professional interview. Very one sided- they ask the questions and you give the answers. The second interview I was able to ask a couple of questions. I hope this helps!
