Some members express excitement for an upcoming orientation, while others share their experiences of being accepted off the waitlist.

Hi everyone! I'd thought I'd get a forum going for those who have applied to CSM nursing for fall 2025 to keep each other up with updates regarding the program 🙂

Hi everyone I'm waiting on approval from a moderator to start the breakout room. I'll privately send you a link to join.

On the email I got as waitlisted it says to not respond to the email but the video on the csm nursing page says otherwise. Has anymore responded?

I was also wait listed but I don't think replying to the email is a good idea. It does elaborate that we have to go to the mandatory meeting to secure our spot on the waitlist. Perhaps, responding to the email is only intended for those that were already accepted?

Hey yall, those who got volunteer hours do you guys mind to share where did yall find volunteer applications that are healthcare related? 

I volunteered at a hospital. I had 150 hours by the time of application, but ended with 233 hours. im now volunteering at a nursing home and am hoping to have 280 hours by fall and have a total of 500 hours of healthcare volunteer hours.

Hello, I would like to clarify if do we need to reply in the email for the students who got accepted and waitlisted? because it says in the email that we don't have to. But it says in the website step 7 that we have to reply back for intent of enrollment?.

Hey guys I got denied si I called to ask what I needed to improve and they told me that they didn't even looked into my application because my chemistry class was incorrect  but based on their score I had an 84 and that was considered competitive but anyways I was disqualified because I had the incorrect chemistry . Since I did all my pre requisites at De Anza I guess they have different chemistry classes . I was so mad !
