I already applied for Nursing at SJSU for Fall 2012 and I am just waiting for the acceptance/nonacceptance now. I am beyond stress and worried that I might now get in because I am competing with so many smart applicants. I impaction is extremely low, its a 10.08, and usually the cut off are around 10.02-10.10, so I am basically at the cut off point. I am proud of my impaction score because I know that I did the BEST I could, but the problem is maybe my best isn't enough. I really want to focus on my current classes right now, but I find it extremely hard while I wait for my possible denied letter. I don't have an option B career, nursing has been the only thing I wanted to do ever since I was little, so if I don't get in, i'll be extremely disappointed and depressed. I contacted the nursing committee to ask them when they will be sending out the acceptance/denied letters, and they said they would be sending letters out the first week of May. Waiting is really tiring. I okay to wait if you know you have a high impaction score and have a high chance of getting in the nursing program, but if you have a low impaction score like me; in the range of being cut off, it's really nerve racking. I really hope someone understands what I am going through, because I it's really hard to express with words how I am feeling right now. Thank you guys. I appreciate any advices/input! What was the lowest impaction score that got into the nursing program your semester?

Thank you, but I feel so discourage right now, I don't even want to think about reapplying. Even though my impaction score didn't make the cut; I worked extremely hard to get that score. And to know that my hard work was not enough is very discouraging. I skip class today, and it was an important day and I shouldnt have, but I did anways because I knew if I went, people would know that I didnt make it. And the fact that i didn't makes me remember that I was not accepted will make me cry in class, and I don't people to see that side of me... I just can't concentrate in school, to know that I am not doing well this semester does not give me reason to attend class. I don't have the energy to think about it... Applying is a difficult process as every school requirements are different/ have diff. deadline and something courses do not articulate...it gives me a headache. I know everything happens for a reason, and God made me go through this because he has something better in store for me, but i just don't understand why... I have always been failing in school, I am already a senior. I don't know how many more time does God want to test me, does he want test me until he breaks me? Even though people say it's not the end of the world and to just apply again or do this do that, but you have to be in my shoe to understand this feeling of rejection. I have felt this feeling more than once, but the more you feel it, the more it makes you want to give up.

Biglaughter, my advice for you would be to apply for some CC associate programs. While you're on the waitlist, there are plenty of other things you can do: volunteer at a hospital, get a CNA license, get a bachelor's degree in another major, work & save money, continue applying to other programs (perhaps private schools?).....

Don't be too hard on yourself. I think most people realize how hard it is to get into a nursing program. If you really want to be a nurse, don't give up. Your feelings are understandable but remember that it's up to you to stay positive and keep working toward your goal. It may not happen the way you wanted/planned it, but I'm confident you can get there.

Nursing is the only career I want to pursue. I may not be the brightest student out there and I know I will have to take the long road fill with obstacles, but I will continue to move forward. I was looking at Mount St. Mary one year program; it says that you have to have a bachelor degree to attend...I don't even know if I have a bachelor degree or not, my mine is all fuzzy, does having 120units =bachelor. My mind is not functioning right now. I don't want to go through the application process and receive more rejection letters.

I really do hope God did this for a better purpose because I feel so hurt...

BigLaughter don't lose hope. I have failed out of school myself!!! But I never lost sight of my dream and now I'm in nursing school. Maybe you just need to take a break for a few semesters.

I understand that you guys want to motivate me, and I really appreciate that, but I am still really sad. Most of my friends have already graduated, and that makes me feel really stupid. I wish I could have been accepted to meet up with all you guys and say thank you personally. It's just hard to have wait for so long to get a denial letter. I am not as strong as you think, it doesn't take much to bring me down. I wish I was as strong as you 1waitingpatiently. Please tell me about your journey in becoming a nurse, I want to find the strength in your story to continue

Biglaughter, don't feel discouraged. I was denied to SFSU and SJSU but was fortunate to be accepted to CSUEB's nursing program. My husband went to school for three years wanting to be a mechanical engineer but had a 3.00 GPA and couldn't get accepted anywhere.

Instead of losing hope, he went to another school with no transfer credits and started all over from the beginning. Because it was his second time taking the same classes, he aced them, became smarter, had a high GPA, got accepted to the program and graduated with a job position at a space company. It took him almost 8 years of college.

It can be done.

Thank so much Newcat157 for your story, I am feeling better knowing that there are others going through the same thing as me. I have to wait until Fall to apply for next Fall's semester; the application/waiting process is so time consuming, usually 1-2 years. And when you received a denial letter and have to start the process all over again...I bet you know this feeling.

Yep, almost gave up hope before hearing from CSUEB. I was thinking about what other possible majors I could do and all sorts of crazy things. It's an emotional rollercoaster.

Apply to as many schools with nursing programs as you can. Go into next registration with as many chances as possible. Even if you think you have no intention of going there, you never know what will happen if you get accepted.

Tell me about it, I feel so bipolar right now. One moment I feel like everything is okay and I can do it, and the next moment I feel like I don't have the strength to continue. I really love nursing, and because I have stuy so far into it, I don't have to change my major and start all over again. I only apply to two nursing this time around, and that was my mistake. Every school has diff. requirements/deadline, and some of my courses didn't articulate with theirs, so it was hard to keep up with everything. I received my denial letter yesterday, and i felt like the world was going to collapse when I read " We are sincerely regretful..."...I didn't even bother to finish reading, I started crying like I never did before. My eyes were so swollen. I really don't know what to do right now, I feel so sad that I don't want to do anything beside stay in my room and cry my soul out.

I think if you have 120 units you should talk to an advisor at school and see how close you are to getting a degree in something. Hasn't the school send you something to your mysjsu account saying you have to apply for graduation? You can have more than 120 units and not have a BA or BS if you don't have all the classes you need for a specific degree. If you do have all your classes for another degree.. like maybe biology or chemistry you could get your degree and then do an accelerated program somewhere or look into other programs like a PA program or something similar. Don't give up hope on working in the healthcare field if that is what you really want to do. Just remember that no one will know in your other classes that you didn't get into this coming fall class unless you tell them so don't' skip classes. You will need those grades to help you in any program you try for. Good luck :D

Thank you sjsu2015. I want to make an appointment if someone can help me get in the right direction. I dont quite have 120 units, after this semester I will have 103. I want to major in something similar to nursing, so I dont have to repeat all my courses, so I can graduate with a BA or BS. Then I will apply into a private school and continue my studies, or somehow transfer my credits to CSU long beach. I am so confused right now. My goal was to get into SJSU, but that didn't work out and now I don't know what I should do.
