Cal State San Marcos ABSN Fall 2018

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey everyone! I applied to this upcoming cycle about a month ago but I know the deadline just passed. who else applied? I believe we should hear back sometime in late March with official evaluations etc. I signed up for the info session next month as well. good luck!

It is true that there will be fewer spots left in the last wave of acceptances. And since there are fewer spots, getting in at the last minute would pose a greater challenge than having everything in before the priority deadline. Although, from chatting with others, there were 5+ people who were accepted in mid June (I believe this was the final wave for Fall 2019), plus at least 1 person dropped out after the last wave creating 1 additional spot.

As for the rant, that's funny and understandable. And I can totally relate. I felt super "ranty" as well for the past 12 months because I was working 50+ hours a week (marketing analytics) while going to school full time: Micro, Anatomy, and Chem (Gen/Org/Bio) in the Fall; Physio, Stats, Psych, and Speech in the Spring. Plus my wife was in a dental residency working 80+ hour weeks, so I cooked 90% of the time, did laundry & cleaned the house 99.9% of the time (for 3 years, she did laundry twice and only because I was out of town for work and she ran out of scrubs). On top of that, it had been 22 years since I got my first Bachelors so my brain was rusty, and I had to re-learn how to study. It felt like such a disadvantage, yet I worked my butt off, slept very little, and got straight A's.

And yes, I got in at the last wave with an evaluation score of 42. So it's not always "someone who does nothing but go to school and probably lives at home." ;)

Thanks for your help! I'm hopeful that I might be able to squeeze in. Kudos to you for making it through the various hurdles to nursing school. I can also relate. I'm a military spouse so we move around a lot, sometimes my husband is deployed, and I have a one and two year old at home with me. It's been a long path towards finally having a solid plan that I'm actually able to execute, and it's nice to hear that there are others like me at CSUSM. Good luck!

Does anyone have any knowledge as to what the lowest points accepted were?

I am beyond excited!!! I got a call today from CSUSM to offer me the Fall Program. For those of you who got admitted, can you please let me know how many lecture classes we will have this semester? They are preparing to send me the acceptance letter by tomorrow and I also have to pay the fee tomorrow.

I think they accepted the 28 points during the first wave of acceptance.
