Best Entry-Level Programs in CA & Admission Stats?

[sashimi]

Hello all,

I'm a senior at UCI, planning on applying to both entry-level BSN and MSN programs this year. Preferably, I want to enter a good accelerated EL-BSN program (my bachelors degree is in a totally unrelated field). My top choices for that are Mount St. Mary's, Concordia, and CSULB. However, I'm also looking at the EL-MSN programs at CSUF, Western University, Azusa Pacific, and USD.

Anyhow, I was wondering which of these schools had the best programs, and how competitive they are. Has anyone here applied to these schools? I'm a little nervous since my GPA is currently at around 3.1, and most likely wont budge past 3.2 by the end of the year. Also, can anyone offer any other suggestions as to where to apply? Preferably, in the Southern California area? Are certain schools easier to get into than others?

Thanks in advance :)
