CCSF RN Spring 2016 Lottery

Published

Hi all-

I made this thread for everyone hoping to get into CCSF's spring 2016 RN program, so we can keep each other updated.

This would be my 4th attempt in getting into the program since I finished my prereqs and gen ed in 2011, got my LVN license in 2013 because after my first 2 failed attempts, I figured I might as well get my LVN while waiting to get into the RN program.

I submitted my application in person today because I was told I'd be put in two different lottery pools (one for regular enrollment and one for advanced placement for lvns) which could increase my chances of getting in, and needed to have my license verified in person. This would be my first time applying for the advanced placement, because I'd rather not skip a sem so I can benefit from taking the courses to refresh my memory. Are there any of you fellow lvns who've tried applying through both the regular enrollment and the Advanced placement, and can tell me about their experience/how the process works?

I was also told the reason why they won't be posting results online ever anymore is due to HIPAA or privacy of the applicants/future students, which is very much understandable. We should expect to hear back for results November or December! And so the waiting game begins..Good luck to us all! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just mailed my application in yesterday! This will be my first time applying so I am not getting my hopes up terribly high, but I would love to attend this program. I am not an LVN but it sounds like your chances are pretty good with the advance start program!

Good luck!!

Hey all,

this is my 2nd time applying. I applied last semester for fall 2015 but my application was not reviewed. They said they had way too many applicants. lorieanarl have you tried applying else where? I applied at Chabot for fall 2015 and was alternate 32. They went up to alternate 20 this fall.

Yes, they only review the first 50 people on the lottery results 😔 Unfortunately, I can't apply to other schools bc they have a min 2.50 gpa for sciences which I don't have..I wasn't aware of that rule at the time I was taking my prereqs and only settled with passing the sciences with two C's and a B..my only option is CCSF since they include English with Sciences' gpa.. I considered taking an 8-month lvn-rn accelerated course but it was at a private college for $50k+..I just can't justify having to pay that much so here I am 4 years later after completing my A.S. still waiting to get in 😔 Have you tried CSM too? I heard they're merit-based and not lottery anymore?

That's tough. Hopefully the Lvn will help get you the edge. I'm taking Psyc Dev right now, and I know that's one of CSM and Ohlone's prereq. So I'll apply to those too. Do you know how many applicants they have so far? I heard they have less applicants for spring.

Thank you, definitely hope so too. Not sure about how many applicants there are so far..but I'm definitely hoping there's less than last sem, I was #202 on the results..not even close :nailbiting: did you find out your ranking last time you applied?

No I didn't. How do you find out your ranking?

They still keep the results in their office, I made sure I asked when I went to get my license verified..it's just nice to knowí ½í¸Š where did you take your prereqs at?

I took all my prereqs at Ccsf...I'm taking Statistic, Phil 40, psyc dev, and p.e this semester and probably will petition for graduation while I'm waiting to get in. I really want to get into a community college RN program and transfer to get a BSN--it would save so much money.

That's perfect you'll def save $ that way+ you can check your ranking from last sem since you're around the campus a lot..I'm hoping I can get my ASN then pursue asn-msn then msn-np at usf..that's a long ways from now..just taking it 1 step at a time..hope we both get in next sem:)

Yes I hope we both get in. Today is the application deadline. I wonder how many applicants there are for Spring 2016. Do you know how many there were last semester?
