California State University San Marcos ABSN, Summer 2019 (CSUSM)

Nursing Students School Programs

Updated:   Published

Priority deadline is officially set (December 3, 2018), so I figured I'd start a thread for those applying for Summer 2019. I'm working on finishing up my PreReqs right now and still need to take the TEAS but am waiting until I finish A&P to do that. Unfortunately, my last class (Public Speaking) will not end until December 12 so looks like I won't quite make the priority deadline but I'll have that last transcript in as soon as they're out.

Anyone else applying?

I hope you all got in!!! Sounds like a lot of you applied to San Marcos ABSN program. I am hoping to get into there too. I am going to apply soon. Any tips?! I didn't take TEAS yet should I take this before I even apply?

You have to take the TEAS to be able to submit the application, recommend to take it as soon as you feel ready. As for any other tips, since it's entirely points based there's not too much strategy there. Nothing objective. So - do everything you can to get a high score on the TEAS and a high GPA in your previous classes, especially your pre-nursing classes. You should be able to get a good idea of your points total by using their breakdown online. I calculated my points when I applied and my evaluation was exactly what I thought it was going to be. You can also take a look at their cohort point averages to get an idea of what you should be aiming for. Good luck!

I actually applied for Fall 2019 but I'm really really hoping that a few slots might open up in the summer cohort. I was told they are still waiting on decision from a few applicants for summer 2019 and if anyone declines or drops out they'll still be giving out places.

Okay thanks for the tip. Also I'm surprised there's no way to make your application unique besides GPA and TEAS score!! So it's purely based on how many spots they have then, even if you have a high GPA you still can be declined if there aren't enough spots? Ahh ok. Well I hope we get in!! I didn't even apply yet.

Thanks for the tips and information. I know you'll get in!!

I'll predict my points with your tip by looking on their site.

@aprilkxo yep but if you apply by the priority deadline and have a certain amount of points (maybe around 30+) you pretty much know you’ll get in. I have a decent amount of points and have no doubt I’ll get in for fall, but yes, since there are so few spots left for summer (if any) only the applicants with the highest scores would be invited to join an earlier cohort.

Hi all, looks like someone dropped and I got offered a spot in the summer cohort. Does anyone know what the format of classes is for first term? I already took nutrition so just need the other two. Are they online by any chance? Moving to San Diego in May but don’t have child care lined up yet. Also does anyone know when term officially starts? Thanks!!

Hello all! Is it possible to take any of the first semester courses at a community college prior to the program? I'd honestly just want to save money. Thank you.

Do you mind me asking how many points you had?!

Just wanted to share that my adviser told me this morning that they are still working through evaluations so it will be "a few more weeks" before they begin sending offers

@hopefulkim99 I believe you can just take the nutrition class (which I did) elsewhere. The other two, I don't think so.
