I already applied for Nursing at SJSU for Fall 2012 and I am just waiting for the acceptance/nonacceptance now. I am beyond stress and worried that I might now get in because I am competing with so many smart applicants. I impaction is extremely low, its a 10.08, and usually the cut off are around 10.02-10.10, so I am basically at the cut off point. I am proud of my impaction score because I know that I did the BEST I could, but the problem is maybe my best isn't enough. I really want to focus on my current classes right now, but I find it extremely hard while I wait for my possible denied letter. I don't have an option B career, nursing has been the only thing I wanted to do ever since I was little, so if I don't get in, i'll be extremely disappointed and depressed. I contacted the nursing committee to ask them when they will be sending out the acceptance/denied letters, and they said they would be sending letters out the first week of May. Waiting is really tiring. I okay to wait if you know you have a high impaction score and have a high chance of getting in the nursing program, but if you have a low impaction score like me; in the range of being cut off, it's really nerve racking. I really hope someone understands what I am going through, because I it's really hard to express with words how I am feeling right now. Thank you guys. I appreciate any advices/input! What was the lowest impaction score that got into the nursing program your semester?

What school do you go to? Keep in mind that just having 120 units does not earn you a degree. About half of your units have to be the required upper division classes for your major. But I would recommend doing a health science major...that's probably the most similar.

I went to talk to ------- today, and she told me to retake some of my prerec's (but the problem is I don't think I can do any better, I already work my hardest )and as of right now I am in the 10th place on the "pending list" , so if a miracle happens and those 10 people decline the offer to attend, then I will be accepted, but I HIGHLY doubt that would happen. I was 12th on the pending list, two people decline, now I am the 10th...but I don't think it is possible tha 10 more students will drop out for my sake. Please pray for me you guys, I really need all the support I can get.

biglaughter,

I'm in the same boat as you. :/

What was your impact score?

highwaters, my impaction score is a 10.09, what is your impaction score? probably higher than mine. Do you also go to SJSU? I give up, I don't think I will be able to get in. i don't want to get my hopes up to have it crush again.

My impact score is 10.64. yes I go to SJSU.

Are you for sure that two people have declined?

If I speak to -----, do you think she will tell me what rank I am?

And please don't give up! we WILL get in!

you should have got in already. I received the denial letter and it says the initial cutoff is a 10.20, and you have a much higher impaction score than the cutoff. I went to talk to ------- and that is what she told me. I went from position 12th position to a 10th position. I went to talk to ------- because i got a rejection letter and didn't know what I should do. I am so sad and depress....*sigh*, you have a much HIGHER chance of getting in. And I think you will be receiving a acceptance letter soon, but I am not sure (just assuming because your impaction is quite high), because she told me that the 2 people in line got bump up to the acceptance position. I'm pretty sure you are one of the two who will be receving if not next to receiving an acceptance letter. Actually, i advise you not to ask her, you might get your feelings hurt if you are sensitive. She wasn't to harsh on me, but she did say my grades were bad, in other words "suck". I think I was numb from not being accepted into the program I didn;t care too much for what she said, but i was still a little angry because I work so hard for those grades. I will email her in the upcoming weeks and will update you.

You don't know how sad I was when I received the denial letter, my heart sank and I start crying so badly. Did you receive a rejection or a pending letter? i guess the impaction cutt off was even higher than a 10.64 since you didn't get in. I will pray that you get in, since you have a better chance than me. I will only get in if 10 people drop out, and what is the liklihood of that happening.....ZERO!

Oh I see, I got a pending letter. I know how you feel. I got rejected last semester. Cried for days.

I don't know if I'm calculating my impact score correctly though.

How did you do it? Did ---- tell you that 10.09 was your score or was that your own calculation?

Yup you will get in for sure! I am pretty sure you will get an acceptance letter in a few days. early Congrats! I calculated my own impaction score and it was the same impaction that she told me. Eh, it doesn;t matter if you calculated your impaction wrong, you got a "pending" letter, which mean you have high chance of getting in. those who receive a pending letter are just below the impaction cutoff, so if anyone drop they are next in line to get acceptance. As for me, i got a rejection letter, now that is a different story. I don't have hope, you still do! I will show you how to calculate it, give me a moment to write it down.

Here is how you calculate your impaction score:

If you want to understand it: basically when they give you your total grade points it's grade x units = grade points, so we could rearrange this to be grade = grade points/units.

To get an overall grade point average, you take all your grade points and you add them up and you divide that by the number of units you have total and it'll give you your average grade received in your classes.

ex. 3 units, Grade A, Grade Points 12

4 units, Grade B, Grade Points 12

5 units, Grade A, Grade Points 20

3 units, Grade B, Grade Points 9

Therefore, Grade A = 4, Grade B= 3, and etc.

GPA (Grade Point Average) = SUM of Grade Points/Sum of Units

GPA = 12+12+20+9/3+4+3+5+3

GPA = 53/15

GPA = 3.53

Hope that helps you. But you shouldn't worry too much about it, I am pretty sure you will get in. I am happy if you get in! She basically indirectly told me that i will not get in, 10 people are not going to drop, so i wont get in. She told to me to take my prerec's over again. i got B's (bio 66), and I don;t think I can do any better than that...1 C. i kinda lose hope, everytime I think about it, I start crying....

how about the TEAs test score?

So what are the three numbers that we will add together? Teas, 5 prereqs, and last 30 units?
