ANybody recieved interviews for CSULB spring 2011?

Published

Hi, I was told by an acquaintance that interview invitations for spring 2011 BSN will handed out by september 20th.

THis does seem kind of early, but I haven't heard back from CSULB at all and so I was wondering when the interviews are. The CSULB lady has been very busy and hasn't gotten back to me.

Does anybody know if interview invitations have already been handed out for fall 2010 admissions?

Thanks!!!!

aznbc 105- wait so you asked the coord. personally if you are in or not? lucky.

I thought you applied last fall? How high was your score?

I ALWAYS talk to the admissions coordinator... that's where I get my information from, and that's why all my information are legit. Who better to get the information from than the person whose going to admit you?! She probably thinks I'm annoying because I just show up in her office. LOL. My bad... but she's so nice though.

I applied last Fall but was Alternate #38... with Microbiology in progress. I'm still on that list, so it seems hopeless to get into Fall 2010. CSULB allows pre-nursing majors to apply to the nursing program ONLY twice. So Spring 2011 is my last chance. My score is now above 9.00 (don't want to say exactly what it is due to privacy). Yes, every 0.01 points count. My friend made it into Fall 2010 with 0.16 points more than me and she was Alternate #7 while I was Alternate #38.... yeah big difference. Spring is easier to get into than Fall, as I've mentioned before.

She asked for my name and scrolled to my last name on the comp. Next to my name were units (no I'm not a senior plus) and some info. My status said "admitted". I saw other applicants had the status "Alternate (whatever their ranking number is)". I saw a lot of Alternates...atleast eighteen. There could be more because she didn't scroll down (my last name is at the top of the alphabet). But this is still unofficial, and statuses can change anytime!

Yeah TWO more weeks, like I've said before, re-interviews and the VP's approval of senior pluses. So don't expect to find out next Monday.

But anyways I'm happy. Even though it's unofficial, 99% is a pretty high probability that I will get in. She kept telling me PATIENCE, because I want the list up on her window! Hahaha.

So I guess Super Seniors are in? since they're going through all that trouble? =/

LOL BCHO86! I NEVER SAID THAT! Hahahah.

It's up to the Vice President of CSULB. He could say no after all that trouble though. CSULB's main goal is to push students into graduation ASAP. As you guys already know, so many majors are impacted at the university. They need senior pluses to graduate already... so what if these senior pluses do get into the program and end up dropping out (yes, there is a high dropout rate)?! Now what? I guess that's the VP's main concern...

Anyways, bye! Good luck! hahah.

Aznbc105,

When you said that the nursing department was still trying to get approval for super/ super super seniors, does that mean super/super super seniors from CSULB? Or does that also apply to super seniors who are transferring into CSULB from other CSU/Community Colleges? Because I do know some people who are transferring from other CSU/community colleges who have enough credits to be considered a super senior (upper division transfers) but they are not from CSULB?

Becuase, these upper division transfer would be counted as transfer students, and maybe the VP is only concered about CSULB super seniors not graduating which would go into the average for statistics for CSULB's average time to graduation and make CSULB look bad?

If you ever happen to drop by the nursing dept again, would it be possible for you to ask them that question? Becuase there are people here who are super seniors but not from CSULB, and we'd LOVE to know but we're not on campus : (, I wish I could be on campus to ask them these questions! haha, I did call the CSULB nursing office and they told me they aren't able to tell me anything. I guess, b/c , they don't want everybody to call them...but they were able to tell u b/c you were on campus lol

Sorry, I'm not sure if it applies to senior pluses that are transfers... I didn't ask. Could be for both. What I don't understand is that the university should've known senior pluses applied to the university as pre-nursing majors and know how many units they have based on the transcripts...

Hmm I think (in my opinion) it's not about the statistics but about accommodation... the school is packed. More packed than CSUF and CSULA. Almost every major at CSULB is impacted. They need senior pluses to graduate... and yes, the school does try push you into graduation and out of the school. As I've said before, there is a high dropout rate in the nursing program. If senior pluses drop out, what's next?

I'll try to visit again, but I think they're annoyed because I drop by too much to see if the list is displayed. Yeah, they're getting frustrated with the phone calls and drop-ins. They seem to be really busy.

Yeah but from what I remember, she just checked my units. Didn't ask if I was a CSULB student or a transfer. Good luck!

Wow, thanks so much for all this information!

It's really great that we have somebody who's on campus to give us inside info lol.

Yeah, I hesitated before calling b/c I didn't want to annoy them, but finally called and asked a quick question. They said they didn't know and that letters would be mailed out--and then hung up. I don't think they even listened to my question at all : (

The next time you drop by, it would be so great if you could ask about senior pluses for transfers!

thanks!!!!

No problem!

If accepted, are you guys planning on doing the basic or trimester?

Lets hope I'm wrong and the VP approves everything today. Then they can quickly mail the letters out and post the list up. :) *cross fingers*

I dropped by today and they told me that 5 people failed the interview, 110 were interviewed total, and 10 super seniors are waiting approval from the VP to see if they can be let in. She also said that about half of those 10 seniors wont be admitted.
