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!!!!

I checked today, and it was not up. They said it will hopefully be up later this week but there is no guarantees.

aerjas - i am actually inclined to agree with you that the admissions office shouldn't be allowed to notify a single clue or gyst to anyone of their current status unless all of the applicants are notified.

however, i got to the bottom of things last week and actually spoke with one of the nursing faculty members. along with you guys, i was also expecting the decision to be made nov. 1st because that's what the faculty advised me during the interview. unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the super seniors or whatever you guys label them as. it has everything to do with the funding! of course, csulb received partial funding, but that money is not alloted towards the nursing program. it's for the entire campus including liberal arts, business, engineering, etc. they don't want to make anything official yet because their not sure if their going to have appropriate funds for this upcoming semester to accomodate the 90 students. anyways, one of my friends is being reinterviewed this week, so that should also explain the delay from the nov. 1st deadline. so, i think following this week, they will make a decision. i'm a true believer that the applicants are predetermined prior to the interview. the interview is to assess your communication and your ability to speak english. if it makes you guys feel any better, if i get admitted (i have a 10/10 score), i'm going to drop my standing because i got accepted to ucla's program. so, i hope it opens up a spot for one of you guys.

did anyone of you guys apply elsewhere such as community colleges? csus? uc's? private?

p.s. - the new nursing building looks amazing

'reinterviewed'? was he or she interviewed before?

She was already interviewed, but she can't speak english as well as others. So they rescheduled another interview (I believe 1 on 1). You guys are paranoid.

Wow congrats on UCLA! Yeah, regarding the admission, I just find it rather unprofessional to release anything that's unofficial. I don't know why they'd put themselves in a position of giving someone hope when it's all unofficial. I personally have been at the point for a while now where it is out of my hands and all I can do is wait. All I would like to know is when we will find out since there are a few things I will need to do in a matter of a few weeks for Spring semester should I not be accepted. Thank you for the information!

HAHA, true true. I'm sure you'll get in, 120 interviewed; 90 are accepted. You have a 75% probability of being admitted. That's a good shot. As well as being 25% rejected or on the alternate list. The alternate list should be scrapped off, it's basically almost the same as being rejected.

Also, aren't you guys surprised of the competition in nursing programs now? I spoke to all sorts of RNs in the hospital and most of them barely had a 3.0 GPA while they were in school, but they went to school bacckkkk in the day (70's, 80's, 90's) and they said it was soo much easier on getting in. I wonder how the competition would look 20 years from now

Oh it's insane. I was just talking to a family friend a few night ago who went to CSULB for nursing school back in the 70's or around there and it was just like regular school...you went in and just did it - no separate application to a program or anything. Wouldn't that be nice! And they make it so difficult to apply to multiple schools due to all the different requirements for each school.

Nice tatempole, getting through G chem and OChem... take biochem and physics up in UCLA, to finish up any advance practice in nursing pre reqs, just to get them out of the way. =)

I'm trying to find out if I was accepted into the school, but when I call the number it asks for my pin number.... where do I find that?? I just know my campus ID number.

yeah, reading all this super senior stuff, re interviewing, etc is driving me crazy.. haha.. it makes sense if the delay has to do with funding. like everyone, i'm sick of waiting and just wanna know already! i really hope we find out this week or next week. i'm gonna stop by the campus and see if the lady gives me some hope by looking up my stuff too.. lol.. might as well.
