Some members express frustration with the lack of communication and respect between schools and students, while others share their excitement about being accepted into ABSN programs and inquire about enrollment details. Overall, the conversation revolves around the pros and cons of different ABSN programs and the application process.
Hello, everyone.
I applied to the RN program at CCSF.
I understand that it may take some time to receive a decision, based on past experiences.
I hope to start in Fall Semester 2025 once I receive the good news.
We can discuss the application process and share any available information.
Good luck!
Also, do you guys happen to know how the lottery system works? Usually, schools with a lottery don't have a waitlist from what I heard. Since CCSF does both systems, I was just curious and wanted to know how that works. I emailed the nursing department but haven't gotten a response yet so I was wondering if you guys knew.
Jogojo said:Your guy's stats are amazing. I feel like you guys would've definitely gotten into a CSU programs with those stats.
I am currently a third year at a CSU and have a 3.7 overall as of right now, 3.62 pre-req, 89.2 TEAS, and 100 volunteer hrs so I knew I wasn't going to get in based on merit ... was hoping to get in through the lottery 😭 I remember someone got into the program and did not past their TEAS exam from last year's or 2023's thread.
If you guys don't mind me asking, what are your guy's plan?
Thank you. As of currently, I got accepted in Roseman but I don't want to go since I would have to move away. I also got waitlisted to Dominican so if I hear back from them, I'm gonna turn down my offer at Roseman. What are your plans?

Yooo congratulations and good luck 🙏 I am just going to finish up my undergrad degree, gain more patient care experience and apply to an ABSN or EL-MSN program after grad.
I applied to several CSU's last semester and either got rejected or waitlisted. I did get into USFCA (sac campus) and Simpson University to start Spring semester of this year, but the tuition is just rlly expensive and I am trying my best to avoid taking out massive student loans. Hopefully everything works out in the end. I am wishing you and everyone else the best on their nursing journey 🙏🙏

Apparently we just need to wait if someone drops out, people from last year got called august or even beginning of Spring semester. Apparently there are many of us in standby list but I don't know if they have a rank?

Yooo OMG that's so good😭 Are you an undergrad or post-bacc? Also, have you heard back from them?
I emailed the nursing dept. to inquire about their admissions process and how the lottery system works, but haven't got a response.

Yes, I got in the overpriced CSU, not worth that much. So I pick free tuition.

Thank you!! Congratulations to you too, sounds like you have a good plan. I hope everything works out for you as well. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jogojo said:Hello all!
For those still on the waitlist, have you guys heard back yet? (if you don't mind me asking).
Nope nothing. From other threads I'm guessing maybe some will be called beginning fall or Spring semester if someone drops out. Last year some people also got called even after being rejected
