Any CSUB Fall 2012 Hopefuls?

You got one here!

Thanks! However, I still have other extra classes I am taking at the moment. I won't get the chance to really study for stats until friday. My final for stats is on wednesday so I am super nervous. I even thought about hiring a tutor to help me. I don't know any. I am having such a hard time with this class. I study so much and still I barely pass her tests. Her tests are like 60 percent of your grade:(

Thanks stacey! I keep trying to use nursing school as my motivation. I guess we'll c what happens. I know I am in if I get an B+ or an A-. So depending on my grade I probably won't even have to wait to get the acceptance/rejection letters. I'll know soon enough after final grades come out.

Fingers crossed

Have you tried the tutoring center at CSUB? If I remember correctly, I think they are free? Try that if you can.

Yes I have tried going there. At the times I go it's always so packed with students from various math classes and only 4 tutors are there. It's hard to get a question in so I was considering hiring one for 2 days to review for finals. I don't really care about the costs. I consider it an investment in my learning. I just am having a hard time finding a private tutor to help me. I am willing to pay. I really want to ace my final. I find a classmate to study with but they have similar grade then me. I am still trying to look for someone in the class who is getting an A and is willing to student with me. It's so hard to find those students in a class of 150. I hardly know anyone except the people I sit by.

Yeah, then I think finding a tutor would be a great idea. You have tried asking the professor for help too right? Sometimes, they will be slightly more lenient with you if they know you are trying hard.

Congrats:) I dropped from BC. I don't know if my seat went to you or someone else.

Either way I am happy for you.

I regret retaking stats for a better grade. I already had an B. Now I have an 86 percent without the final. I am like so so very scared. :(

Even without the retake I made the top 60 barely. Now, all I can do at this point is hope for the best. yikes!!!

The crazy thing is I received a rejection letter last month. They said many people failed the TEAS and everyone on the wait list was accepted and two people that were originally rejected (including myself). I was completely shocked. Very unexpected but I'm so happy.

I found a private tutor. My teacher doesn't seem up for helping. She keeps saying try tutoring. I asked a few problems and she has happened. I don't think she wants me to keep asking. So I found a private tutor and I am gonna try to go to regular tutoring and then ask the questions at my private session. It's not really that much 20 bucks an hour. It's worth it to get a better grade.

Wow really a lot of people failed. The score is set so low though. I can't imagine anyone failing. I didn't even study the first time and passed. I am so happy to hear you got in. I wonder if everyone that applied got in? Cuz i know they pick 10 alternates so since you weren't one I wonder how you got in. I applied last quarter and didn't get in. this time I was shocked to have gotten in without a problem. I think it's cuz they look for people that have already passed the test or something. Idk. I am so happy for you. Now no more retaking classes:) lol Your so lucky. I wasted a whole year. Mainly because I couldn't apply until my physio class was finished. Oh well. I am soo happy your in thoug:) Congrats:)

There was a girl there that said she was #19 on the wait list. But all of us that we're there had already taken and passed the TEAS so maybe you're right. I'm just calling it a miracle. I feel blessed.

I hope your tutoring goes well and you get that A in stats!! Good luck!!

Yes it is truely a blessing for you. I applied and got rejected last quarter so consider yourself lucky:)

I also applied to fresno city and got rejected twice already. I know people that have been waiting for years to get into nursing school and still are waiting. I consider myself blessed as well. Getting to any nursing school is a blessing. :)

Thank you so much. I hope so too.

Almost finals week.:banghead: I know I'll be banging my head just to understand stats during the remainder of the week. I hope everyone is just as excited as I am to find out if we get in. I am so motivated to get an good grade on the final. HOpefully my hard work pays off. I think the letters will be sent out in the end of june. That's when they were sent out last year. So for those that get in congrats in advance and those that don't best wishes in the future. It will be nice to know who gets in so if you do get in let us know here~

man I am ranked 62 now because my stats grade was an B. I think my professor messed up on my grade because isn't 87% considered an B+ and that is without the extra credit points. I am trying to get an hold of her but she's not replying back. I informed the nursing department and am trying to see what I can do about my grade. If she would of gave me an B+ I would of been ranked 53. I can't believe she didn't even consider the fact that I had the second highest score on the final and no one got all the questions right. In the beginning of class I remember her telling me if a student is borderline and if she see the student trying really hard she'll give them the better grade. Now I am thinking all that was just talk. Also I am not even borderline I really deserve an B+ because 87% is an B+. I just hope she replies back soon. I am so sad right now. If someone doesn't drop or if my grade doesn't change I won't get accepted. All that hard work didn't pay off:( Even if i don't get accepted with an B+ it will be fine. But I still think I deserve a fair grade
