Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

Published

I've applied to 5 area schools (Sac State, Sac City, Sutter, ARC, and Sierra) I'm waiting and I can't help but to be anxious. I thought it'd be nice to know who has heard and when. Thank you!

:rolleyes:

Wait, are you 18/19? and you have an 82 too? im position 23 with an 82....

If i don't get in to CSUS i wont get any other chances this coming spring so i guess i can just hold out. I already made my schedule for my general ed courses for csus next semester if i don't get into the program....

OK, Now that we know who is in and who is not(me), I hope we can still continue supporting one another. I am waiting for Chico too.

Congrats to everyone who got in. You guys would be great!!!!

I was so sure that with 82 points I would have gotten in, I guess it wasn't meant to be. So I have one month to move to Humboldt. Orrrrrrrrr, if I get in at Chico or Stanislaus, maybe I can commute or something. The thing is the program seems so boring, like 2 classes the first semester. Why would they drag this to 6 semester when they could easily do it in 4. mama mia!

Anyway, good luck to you all in your nursing career. See you on the job market.

We should start a thread about our steps into nursing school, we can post such as orientation, moving, what we have to buy, the commute, stuff like that.

Humboldt is 2.5 years, and no summer school, did u know that? and then u get a extra certification when you are done. I sent humboldt an email accepting since Monday but I did not get any reply. Been trying to reach tem all day no answer, did they replay to your yes?

I have had all knd of problems with those people. Stanislaus did not count my GPA well, so now they have to redo it. And the lady at the Evaluation's office was so mean to me.

How many points do you have for chico? is it usually very hard to get into Chico?

My husband said I can commute to Chico everyday in the 1st semester and when it gets hard I can take a place up there to crash on long days.

I don't even know what to think now. huhhhhhh

just received the reply from Humboldt, I was short of a brain aneurism.

ya I got an e-mail from Humboldt too. so u say that Stanislaus already sent you an acceptance letter? I have not heard anything from them or san bernadino or fresno.....

I should have 82 points for Chico which I hope is enough..... I will get full points for my GPA so that's 60, then 19 for my Teas Score so that 79, then 1 point for work experience, and 2 points for my volunteer experience... so ya thats 82 points. But see last semster when I applied I had 81 but thats because I got the full 20 points for the TEAS test, but since they changed it to be 90%+ for the full 20 I'm hoping this will help my odds. If everyone who applied last time only met say near the minimun 80% for the teas and didnt retake the test than thats good news for me! So still keeping my fingers crossed.

For San Bernadino did you need letters of reference? And do you know if they have a point system too?

they dont "need" the letters but you get more points if you submit them, so if you plan on applying there I would submit them with your application. And yes, they do use a point system but I am not sure how their point system works because I don't remember seeing it on their website.

This is what I should get for Chico: the full 60 pts GPA, 19 for the teas, 1-2 points for languange(which I did not get at Sac State cause they do not accept French), health experience I don't know how they are going to calculate that because I have both work experience and a certification, so that can earn between 1-4 points, it is all up to them. So, anywere between 82+.

When you had 81 points what alternate # were you?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

I ended up being alternate #21 and by the time the semester started I had dropped down to #7. So if we don't get in but are alternatives 1-10 we should have a good chance of getting in!

Ouch, the competition gets tighter every year. Look at how sac jumped from 74 to 84. Let's hope it is not the same for Chico. Some people might grab those extra 6 points for the rural community and welfare status. Let's hope we make it close. Otherwise we going to Humboldt my dear. lol

well ya, but you also have to consider that the reason so many people applied this semester to Sac State, raising the points were because of the shortened time. Although, now that I think about it maybe not.... I mean I just checked my e-mail from last year and there were still 380+ students that applied. oh man..... getting really nervous now. I also wouldn't think that Sac State and Chico state would have the same amount of people applying either. Sac State is the hardest CSU to get into I would imagine.

And you know my fiance just called me from work and told me that he talked to a RN that was on the school board for sac state and she told him that I would be better off not going to sac state. If you would like to know why we could try and e-mail each other as I don't want to talk about it on here. But after what she told me, I am kinda glad that I was 37 on the alternate list lol. Here's to waiting another week and a half for chico yay.....

ok, let me email you. what's the add? You know, sac state was only 323 applicants this spring. You know what I thank God every night for Humboldt cause I know people wait for years to get into nursing school. I am in my early thirties, in 2 years my child is high school bound (private school tuition), a mortgage, a mother who is getting old......so I really cannot wait to do this.
