Hi everyone,

I'm starting this thread for those applying to Sacramento State's Traditional BSN program for Fall 2025. Let's use this space to share our experiences, questions, and support throughout the application process.

applying with 74 points, I can do the bilingual prof test and get 77 I believe but I am not sure if I want to make the drive out there since the cut off has been 71 and I would have to get time off. I hope with 74 points I will be fine but who knows 

Hi Everyone, 

Is anyone transferring from a CC. I am just nervous because they haven't processed my transcript yet.

How did you go about this? Is there a specific website you used? I haven't submitted it so I think I have time

I would email the evaluator for your language on the approved proficiency test evaluators list and ask if you can set up a Zoom meeting with them. I did for mine and didn't have to travel to the location. There was no specific website. Good luck!

Hiii

Hi, another possible applicant here, except with a FAR less chance than you two. I actually had a question about the value of applying as a person with a meager 67 points (congrats to both of you for such high scores! I'm pretty sure above 72 is basically a shoe-in for the program).

I know people are all like "Just apply! You never know~" but I'm trying to be realistic and I know I'm basically signing up to be denied, since the historic cut-offs are ALWAYS around 70 points, high 60s if your really looking back. What do you guys think? And if not (which is highly likely), does anyone have guidance on what I can do when I'm inevitably not accepted? I really don't want to go to a private school or out of state, and all the nearby ADN programs require that I have my pre-reqs done BEFORE applying (I'm still doing A&P II). I'm overall just kind of clueless.

Sorry for the lil rant, just a little bummed out and lost on what to do. Plus, CRC's career counseling never has appointment's available, and I really need some guidance 😞 

Take the TEAS again! I retook it last semester and got a much higher score. I got in, but wouldn't have with the first score. Some of the questions are repeated so it'll be rivers easier!

you could also look into programs with a waitlist if you are ready to wait and not go private. 

Hey Everyone,

I think everyone who applied just got the confirmation. The tentative admissions date posted in the email was a bit farther out than listed on their website. Do you think their was a lot more applicants this semester?

I think hard to say based on the admission notice date. it seems to be around the same time as previous years: for fall 2024 it was April 25th and for fall 2023 it was April 21st
