Hi everyone! I wanted to create a discussion forum for everyone applying to CSULB for Fall 2025! Feel free to discuss stats or anything application related. Goodluck to all of us! 🙂

Hi! Has anyone heard anything? I'm wondering if they will email to let us know if we are not a finalist or if we just know we didn't if we don't get anything.

Same here, I wish they'd just tell us SOMETHING. I'm just filled with anxiety at this point

Hello everyone,

 I am a Fall 2025 DNP applicant as well. Has anyone heard any information regarding the program or what to expect on day of interview other than just the interview and writing exam? Super nervous but excited.

They have sent a couple of follow up emails about the community engagement writing assignment as well as time slots for the communication exercise 🙂

I got the 9 AM slot for the communication exercise. Anyone else? I'm super nervous, but after looking at past forums and reddit and all that it does't' seem like it will be too intensive. Honestly seems more like a meet and greet, but will some extra steps (at least I'm hoping LOL). How is everyone else feeling?

My slot is 8:30! I'm feeling extremely anxious LOL but I am excited. I'm not really sure how to prep for the writing assessment.

Is your time slot 8:30am or 9am if you don't mind me asking!?

[Jbthenurse]

My slot is 8:30! What about yours? 

[aostash]

Mine is 9 AM!

How is everyone feeling about the communication exercise? I'm nervous but also excited for the next step. I wonder how soon we will hear anything after Wednesday.
