I applied to the BSN program, I have a 4.0 GPA in prereq's, have 2nd language (Spanish), and two volunteer letters (one from a hospital, one from a free clinic). and my application was denied. I honestly don't know what else I could have done to get in. However, by the time I reapply, I'll have another year of the volunteer experience under my belt and I've picked up more responsibility at the clinic...
I'd like to hear from others, from those that got in (what's the secret?) and others in a similar sitch as me who were rejected.

How the hell can you get a 4.0 and get denied? *does not compute!*

Isn't that crazy? But you again you have to understand a perfect 4.0 on preqs (should also consider cumulative) isn't all that should define success. What was a big shocker to me was the supplements the poster has is what left me Agape!

I was really thinking of applying to SF State until I read this. They'd probably just laugh at my 3.5 :P Like another poster said, I'd like to go to school there just to be back in SF, but I guess I won't have to worry about throwing down $1500 a month for housing there

I say just apply, give yourself every opportunity possible. It is clear that WE don't have their formula so we should simply submit and leave it to them. I would apply to expand my chances. SFSU Nursing program has solid reputation and they have great passing rates. Go for it! you maybe surprised.

Is there anyone else who still hasn't received their letter? I'm going to go ask about it if I don't receive it tomorrow, it's getting really frustrating since a friend of mine got accepted for spring semester a week and a half ago now...

Yeah, you should probably give them a call. Like I said before, though, mine was postmarked April 16 and I didn't receive it until April 21.

Anywho, what I'm really wondering is....

Who DID make it in? Lol

Have you gone to SFSU website and checked your application status? They should update that with your application status don't you think?

And what did you mean "for spring semester" I thought they only start in the Fall 1998? what program are you referring to? thanks!

Me and my friend are both already students at State so we didn't have to go through that...the nursing program accepts applications once a year and half are accepted for fall and half for spring...she got accepted for spring...She had pretty much straight a's/a-'s and 3/3 supplemental criteria...

Thanks for clarifying it. I am also like you waiting to hear back from them. Keeping my fingers crossed. I think I will wait until Wednesday (end of April) before contacting them. Only problem is, will they inform me of my status?

I am applying to the BSN student - Junior. I complete my non-nursing GE requirements end of may, in addition to my Preqs for Nursing. I take it your friend still has some GE classes to go?

[freshmex]

We're both pretty much done with lower division GE...at state there's an upper division GE requirement called Segment III where you have to take 3 classes from certain clusters in order to graduate...While they aren't hard they are def time consuming...I've been working on my segment III this semester so I wouldn't have to do them during nursing school, but if I don't get into SFSU this semester will end out being a complete waste of my time since those classes won't transfer to anywhere else lol. I have been accepted into CSULB NS and am still waiting to hear back from Sacramento State but my #1 choice is SFSU since I live here so I would save tons of money staying at home...
