LSU BSN program Spring 2013

U.S.A. Louisiana

Published

Is anyone applying to the LSU Traditional BSN program for Spring 2013? I haven't applied yet but plan on doing so. I'm really nervous, I have gone to a couple different schools so I think that my cumulative GPA is around 3.13 but my nursing pre-requisite GPA is 3.75. I'm afraid that my cumulative isn't good enough to be accepted. I'm applying to Charity as well, but my first choice is LSU.

I hope I get a call soon!

@kristenolaI'm sure you will

Yay! I just got a call! Oct. 20 at 9 am!

YAY Kristen! I've been silently rooting for your over here! My interview is at the same time. Great news :)

thank you! it seriously made my day! now what to wear is the next obstacle?

So I still havent received a call and Im really starting to get nervous! Im starting to think that maybe I should give them a call to see whats going on. Is anyone else still waiting to hear from them?

I've been waiting anxiously... still nothing :(. Does anyone know if meeting the requirements guarantee an interview?

Funny you should ask. I called, well I had my best friend call for me. And she said the lady seemed either unsure or didn't want to help. But she did say that if you meet the requirements you'll get a call. She asked when the last day was for calls and she wouldn't say but they were doing calls today which was yesterday. So who knows maybe they take break between call days? I'm stressing out too. Im only applying at lsu and I have to fly down there for the interview. I'd like to know awhile before not the day before. I've never carried my phone around this much. Does anyone know exactly how many months of school it is? I know it's three years for the program.

Got my call today! It is for 10/20 at 1pm!

Good luck to everyone...I had a question about LSU's sociology pre-req requirement. I know some places say it can be sociology or something else like poli-sci, cultural anthropology, etc., so I was just wondering, when LSU says "sociology - 3 hours" does that mean it absolutely has to be a course entitled "sociology"? I have anthropology courses coming out of my ears, history, linguistics, foreign language, political science, etc., but I don't have a "sociology" course. I'm going to be really down if one silly little intro to sociology course holds me up and costs me another year. Thanks for your time!

@StephanieZie, well I have to tell you that over the summer I sent my transcript to Admissions at LSU and they said that I don't have Sociology course fulfilled. My transcript is filled with foreign language classes, political science class, public speaking classes, humanities classes, and whatnot. I was told to take an Intro to Soc. class which is the only class I did not fulfill. So needless to say I am currently in Intro to Soc class. But you can always send them a copy of your transcript and they can go over it and tell you what classes you have fulfilled and which ones you still need. What semester are you applying for?

Well, I'm actually thinking about applying for CARE, and I'd read that the admission deadline was January 15th for Fall 2013. I wonder if they accept CLEP in place of the course? There's no way I can have the pre-req fulfilled by Jan 15th if they insist on sociology, so maybe that would be a way I could do it.
