Applying for Spring 2012

[moebabies]

I'm applying to CSULB, CSUF, SDSU, and local Orange County community colleges for admission to Spring 2012 and I have a couple of questions

-Can I apply as a different non-impacted major and then switch over to nursing. A friend of mine did that two years ago but with the budget cuts and everything I'm not sure if that is possible anymore. Also I was wondering how that would work in regards to prereqs since mine are directed for nursing, what other major could I apply to

- If I apply as nursing, can I still make it into the school, but not the major? Or do they do hand in hand?

- For my first quarter of college I attended UCSC and did not do well. I took econ, a computer networking class, and a required writing class (only econ transfers over). Do I have to send in this transcript anyways? I don't want it to lower my overall GPA

Thanks guys!

Ok well.

As for switching. I am doing the same. I am applying to my top choice, CSULB for spring 2012 to be a chem major. I only have one more req in progress while I apply for a chem major for spring 2012. That way by the time I start CSULB I will have that last pre req done AND be a CSULB student. According to CSULB website, you can change to an impacted major only once as long as your accepted. If not you get accepted your ok. If not then you stuck with whatever major you originally applied for. No biggie as CSULB is not the only school I am applying for.

As for doing pre reqs while another major? I don't know. I am still trying to see if I can take upper division nursing courses as a chem major? Doubt it.

But Whatever, I am a transfer and I can't risk the budget screwing me up and waste a year.

Now according to people on here, which I wouldn't doubt CSULB for doing, if you ate a transfer and don't.make it in the nursing program then they make you promise that you don't apply to the nursing program ever again. I mean you figure they get hundreds of transfer applicants a semester and most of them don't make it and probably never will. So they take up space at those universities that denied them.

Well I did the same, verne to Cal poly got engineering and failed an engineering class and its lab. I went from a 3.4 GPA to 2.8 without pre reqs done. Now I am on my last pre req and my overall GPA is a 3.2

so basically I mean its not the best but its better. Oh well. Now some schools look at overall GPA and some schools don't. Just gotta research your schools. Hood luck
