Cal Baptist ELMSN Summer 2018

[nastaishia]

Hello everyone!

If you're as antsy as I am, this is the thread for you. The submission deadline is this Monday at 8:59PM, so I wanted to open up the thread for this year's applicants. If my research is correct, we should be hearing back in mid-late January about interviews, which feels like an eternity at this point. In the meantime, I'm hoping that this thread can serve to be a great place to ask questions and let go of some of the anxiety that comes with waiting to hear back. I look forward to meeting and hearing from some of my fellow applicants. If you get into any other schools, I would personally love to hear about that too! God Bless everyone and may we all get the good news that we are hoping and praying for. :)

Hello Scali! I too had a low GPA and had to retake almost all of the pre-reqs, but I got almost all A's after retaking them. The fact that your last 60 units are great will really help as well. In other words, you definitely still have a chance. You're going to see and hear this a lot, but just really know why you want to become a nurse and why you want to be a part of the ELMSN program at Cal Baptist specifically and then the rest is in God's hands. Good luck!

Hi Scali. My undergrad GPA was also really bad (cumulative is less than 3.0). But my last 60 units are amazing and the pre-req i also did really well. My suggestion is that you focus on the current pre-req you're taking to get the good grades. I know they're not focus only on the grades but also you as a person. I would make sure to do a stellar job in my essay and experiences that you have. Please let me know if I can be of more help :)

Hi Nastaishia,

So sorry for the late reply! Ive been busy as heck trying to balance work and retaking my science pre reqs over! I am so happy to hear this. I am shooting for all As, a little hesitant but I know anything higher than what I received before would help me. I am so glad that they look beyond grades too. CBU is my number 1 choice so I am really trying my hardest. App deadlne is oct 1st! I will keep you posted on my status :) May I ask how it is going for you? What do you love about it? Im sure its very challenging.

Hi Slim! Good to hear that I still have a chance. Im currently retaking some of my sciences and I am hoping itll make me a stronger candidate. Is there any way I can email you for more questions? Id like to keep in touch with those already in the program.

[Slim199]

Yea of course. What's your email?

[nastaishia]

Absolutely! It's definitely tough, but do-able. I know it sounds cheesy, but I love everything about this program! The professors are the absolute best I've every had and you really get great hands-on experience. I will be praying for you. Good luck!

I believe that emails are sent out for interviews throughout the next few days. In previous cohorts, interviews were done on two dates so we just need to keep on praying! I’ll update you if I hear anything!
