Fresno State BSN entry

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi all,

I was interested in applying to the Fresno State BSN program for spring 2010 but am unsure if my GPA makes the cut. I don't want to blow the extra $50-60 on a school I wouldn't get in to anyway.

If anyone is willing to share their GPA/TEAS scores and whether they were admitted and for what term, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Hey Solidus, I was just wondering if you did end up applying to both Fresno State and San Francisco State? I just found out that I got accepted to both programs and I am not sure which one I should go to. I live in Fresno and it probably would be economically wiser for me to stay put (plus my Dad wants me to stay close to home) but I really want to leave... I tried to figure out which one is a better program overall but San Francisco doesn't have much info on their program. I probably could stay in Fresno but another years at home...Yikes!

to superkool: how come u heard from Fresno State so early? I guess they have different procedures for students who have done all the pre-reg n the rest.

It's indeed not economical to live in SF with the high fee for living and rent. The traffic is crazy. It always takes me more than an hour for any movement. However, their programs let you to do clinical works in some of the good hospitals in the Bay Area (at least they are always crowded because SF is huge with tons of ppl). Eventually those hospitals really prefer the new graduates who happened to intern there before. They don't need to train you again if they had you once already. My ant went to SFSU, and it was easy for her to find job around this area with a good hour wage out of school. As you may know, Bay Area has the top paying rate in the nation for nursing. In this economy, we don't really want to ignore any advantages. As the same time, you will enjoy the experiences in a big city n its diversity. If you think you love crowded big city area, go for it. Or if you decide you still want to stay at Fresno, it's always good to be near family.

I initially applied for SFSU, but I missed the deadline. I'm waiting for Fresno because I don't want to wait for another year. SFSU doesn't open for Spring!

I recieved two acceptance letters from CSU Fresno. One was just for regular addmitance and the other was from the nursing department. The letter said something like this: Congratulations! You have been selected for Fall 2010 entry into our Baccalaureate Nursing Program at California State University, Fresno...... I don't recall anything about a prenursing major. Have you checked online to see what your status is in the program. follow the link I sent in my prior post.

Hey Turtlelittle did you get in to fresno's BSN?? I am still trying to sort through the cost of living in San Francisco.

Too bad we couldn't just switch our living arrangements because I live 3 miles from Fresno State. let me know if you are planning on going in the fall.

To super: I don't know yet. It was funny like I almost got in a fight with the coordinator yesterday about the admission. They kinda "hold" my admission because I have one final class left and need to finish it within June. So although I have my 4.0 GPA, it still has to wait until the very end, that's what she said!keke some ppl know early r rare exceptions. The rest still have to wait until the end of June.

So where did u decide to go? I visited Fresno on Sunday. I got to tell u, it's really different from the Bay. To me, everything in Fresno is kinda flat n far away!It looks nice, but then feels really alien! You come to SFSU n u would see the huge change. Always crowded!

Sorry, I really don't know. I'm transferring next semester but will be commuting from Hanford. U should check the bulletins at Fresno state for a room to rent. Personally, with Fresno's crime rate, id b wary about cheap apartments. Good luck to u!
