SDSU nursing school/international student/ No SS#

Hi all,

I'm new around here.
I have a question about SDSU's nursing school requirements. I don't know if anyone had this kind of problem before. I know that they need to check the students' background, drug test, etc. BUT I'm an international student and I don't have a social security number for the background check. What should I do? Has anyone gone through this problem before?? I mean.. I've gone through the rejection etc, and I need to get into SON because I don't want to waste my time anymore. I know that I have good grades and have more than enough points to get into the program, but why does this have to happen right now?


PS: One of the lady even told me that clinical sites won't accept anyone without a SSN.

I'm desperately in need of help/advices....please....

Thanks in advance.....
