CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2012)

[gaspu8myc00kie]

Hello,

I thought I'd make this thread for the new application group... even though it's a bit late since we have to all apply soon!

Anyway! I want to apply for the Fall 2012 term but I had some questions. I am an current CSULA student that transferred to CSULA in Fall 2010. I'm a Psychology major but am applying for Fall 2012 Nursing. I haven't taken my TEAS yet, but I'll be taking that on Friday (!!), so I'm very nervous about that.

That said, this is my first question:

I've been getting mixed info from different people. When I visited the Academic Advising Office last Spring (2011), the adviser told me that as long as I did not graduate from CSULA BEFORE I graduated, I could apply to the SON as a BSN applicant. I called SON to see if I could even apply for the ELM program and they told me that as far as they knew, I could not because I did not have my Bachelor's Degree yet.

So right now, I have approximately 2 quarters left in order to finish my Psychology major, approximately 6~8 classes. Ideally, I could finish by Spring 2012, but depending on my other workloads, I could push it back to Fall 2012. The problem is that I'm not allowed to graduate if I want to go into the basic program so I can't apply for graduation just yet. But IF I don't get into the BSN program, then I have to wait another two quarters after May or June or whenever they send out acceptances in order to officially graduate.

So I went to go and talk to my adviser about graduation and if I should even bother applying for Spring 2012 graduation and she tells me that no, I'm not allowed to apply for a BSN but I can go for the ELM program.

Does anyone know which is true? The CSULA advisers tell me that I can't apply for the Basic program but I can apply for ELM while the SON says that I can't apply for ELM because I don't have my Bachelor's degree yet and I should apply for the BSN program. Other graduate schools like APU and UCLA have also told me the same thing - without a Bachelor's, I cannot get apply for the ELM program at their school.

Thank you~

Grrrr......I'm getting impatient. REALLY impatient.

[Sirena80]

Me too! The wait is torturous. My mind goes to bad places!

[kosmic2003]

Ditto Sirena.

so are you guys all paying the enrollment fee $100 prior to finding out your admissions decision? :/

[kosmic2003]

From what i heard from previous post is that the admission office will give an exemption to nursing students to pay the 100$ deposit at an later time

[DarkBluePhoenix]

What email are they using to coorespond to you guys. I haven't received anything from them regarrding admissions decision even though my acct on GET says admited

[kosmic2003]

I think that when u got accepted into the university, the school sent an email with the acceptance letter. That is what i remembered when i transferred to csula

[Sirena80]

I have received everything at my personal email. They have never sent anything to my GET email. Which is weird since they say to check it frequently.

i actually just got a reply from the admissions office:

"There is no exception for nursing school applicants with regard to the fee. "

so we are required to pay the enrollment fee.

[kosmic2003]

Wow, really? Admissions is really screwed up making us nursing students pay 100$ before we even know if we are accepted

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere earlier in the thread that the SON will make sure to send out admission/rejection letters before May 1st. However when I stopped by the office personally early March one of the SON employees told me admission statuses will be given out May-mid May. So you never know! I'm gonna wait till the very last minute to pay the $100 deposit. Let's all be patient for a few more days before blowing $100!! To me, that's a lot of money. I'm a poor little broke student. :)
