Applying to Sacramento State for spring 2015 question

[sj94]

I am applying to Sacramento State for Spring 2015. I still need to take Physio and a few misc. classes like food and nutrition, an arts course, and a english critical thinking course. What I am wondering is this: If I were to take Physio during the summer, got an A lets say, would Sac consider me over other applicants because I have completed all my pre-reqs and co-reqs? I have a 4.0 right now. I am debating whether I should take this Physio summer class at a JC an hour away because the professor is better than the one I would be taking in the fall at a closer JC. Let me know what you think!

I wonder if they're doing the point breakdowns this time, last semester it seemed like those emails went out almost a month before the decisions emails went out. I'm getting soo anxious, fingers crossed for us.

Anyone heard any news yet?

Anyone heard any news yet?

Nope! But checking my email several times a day haha. Oh the suspense!

Also, I think you are the person I met at the open house...future mental health nurse, right? :)

[flowingwater]

Yeah, I agree the suspense getting a little annoying. I just want to get it over with! I do hope the answer will come earlier. Who knows, maybe Friday?

[KathyVandy]

mwmoon... Yes, that's me. :) I hope we at least get point cutoff soon. I do remember seeing that email a few weeks before the decisions last time I applied.

Just wondering.. how did you all do on your teas??

[nurseshellyRN]

Nothing here yet, I'm also compulsively checking my email too. It's driving me crazy.

@jolina I did well on the teas (96) to balance out a not so high GPA (3.647) and I got some extra points for speaking Spanish and having health care experience, putting me at 74 points. I really hope that's enough to get in. How's everyone else's points?

@futurenurseshelly Thats amazing!! The TEAS was a tough one for me.. Soooo nervous, I wish they would just tell us hahah

[KathyVandy]

I got 87.4% on my TEAS. That was my 2nd time, but I made the mistake of scheduling to take it the day before my wedding. Yeah... Brilliant! :) I have a 3.983 GPA, but no optional points... So I'm at 71 points. I'm accepted to ARCs ADN nursing program in January, but *really* hoping to get in at CSUS so I don't have to spend another year doing the RN-BSN bridge program. Toying with the idea of improving my TEAS and finishing my volunteer hours so I have optional points for a Fall 15 application , but I've been doing prerequisites at ARC and CSUS for 3 years now and I'm just ready to start a program already. I'm hoping the point cutoff for this semester is at least the same as Fall... If that's the case, I have a shot.

@KathyVandy I know what you mean, after so much time I just want to start a program. Sac State is my dream school, and it is making the wait so torturous.

I just found out that I was rejected from USF for their entry level masters program. It was my second time applying, and I'm a little surprised that I got rejected right off the bat again when I felt like I did so much to improve my application. I'm not really sad, though, since my heart is set on Sac State. Maybe the admissions people could tell that somehow...

I really really hope that the cutoff is low. I want to get in, I want us all to get in. I have been working at this for so long, as I'm sure we all have. Good luck to everyone!

I'm so sorry you were rejected at USF... They have a great program. I believe UC Davis is offering an entry-level Masters Program now, too. http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/nursing/education/education_MEPN.html

I understand about having your heart set on Sac State... It would be a dream come true for me too. :) I hope we all get in... We deserve it!

It's okay, it would be so much better and easier for me to stay in Sacramento. UC davis has been on my radar, but their entry level program isn't offered yet, only the masters program for people with an rn license already.
