Cal State East Bay acceptance letters for Fall 2010??

[lakaha]

My friend and I applied to the nursing program at Cal State East Bay for Fall 2010 and she received her conditional acceptance package to the nursing program today. I on the other hand have only received an email (last week) requesting transcripts for the nursing department even though my application went in before hers. On the website it says that throughout December they will be emailing out requests for transcripts, not acceptance packages, so I was just wondering if I should be worried. Has anybody else received an acceptance or conditional acceptance package?

You said the class is simple, do you think anyone can handle it or I better take kinesiology? If you took this class already and can share with your experience i would really appreciate it.

Honestly, I wanted to take the online KPE class but it was full.. so I took the oceans one. I had to write a paper about a problem with the oceans, and there were a few tests and discussion boards. It wasn't very time consuming. I would probably take the KPE class though.

Also, does anyone know of good areas to live by the school? I live in Santa Cruz and will be moving up there but I don't know the area well at all :/ Thanks!

Look for something in Walnut Creek, off Ygnacio Valley Rd (there are plenty of apartment complexes there). Walnut Creek is a much nicer city than Concord, and Ygnacio is the same road that campus is on. Or you could look into renting a room in the area right next to school (technically Concord) - it's not a bad area. I would just stay out of other areas of Concord. I mean, it's not the worst place or anything, but it's just not great compared to WC or the campus area.

Thanks, my enrollment date is on 21, so hopefully I will get in for KPE, but if not I will take another one. Good luck, in your nursing school!

Goodluck to all those that got accepted I hope I get accepted for Fall 2011! For those accepted if you don't mind me asking, what was your pre-req GPA?

[jennafezz]

Mine was 3.7 and my TEAS was 95.3, no foreign language or health care worker forms.

Good luck to you!! :)

Thanks for the info on the living situation around there Jennafezz!

Congrats! The program coordinator did email us a lot of info on what upcoming documents that are needed to be submitted. But if you do want to get ahead of the process, you'd be needing a TB test/result, a record/titer test for your vaccinations for MMR, Hep B, a current Diphtheria-Tetorifice, and Varicella.

Thanks! I just had at titer, TB test and a tetorifice shot for the hospital that I volunteer at like 2 months ago...I wonder if I can use that or if I need to get it re-done?

My pre-req GPA was 4.0, overall GPA 3.7 and TEAS of 89.7 but I was originally put on the wait list. I got into the program as an alternate.

It says we need two TB tests done within two weeks of each other, but your tetorifice should count and I dunno about the titer.

My prereqs GPA was 3.9, overall 3.8, Teas was 87, and I have second language ( that was for Fall 09)

Good Luck!

Typically, nursing schools will want IgG titers. I did IgM titers a few years ago so they're no longer valid.

Sc Nurse-

Agree with JennaFezz... Walnut Creek is the perfect location. Im from the area and you can get some good deals and still live in a great area. Concord/Clayton area has been having some issues.. Its still a good town but its more of a violent area id want to live in. Also...Dublin/ San Ramon is a great area too.. and its not far from the hayward campus at all. Good luck.
