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 🙂

Yeah, I'm on the waitlist for Ohlone and CCSF. 

The nursing program page does mention we should be notified by May 31 via email. Will they notify us through our personal email or school's? Only actively enrolled students are granted  an email

Did you guys apply to any other nursing school ? 

Let's hope we hear back by the end of the day today or tomorrow. They should have free time too since today's the last day of school too. But yeah I did, I applied to evergreen and Chabot. Got denied from Evergreen (literally 1 point from the cutoff 😔) and as an alternate at Chabot. I really want to get into CSM cause they offer childcare too.

They said the same thing last year but sent decisions out on the 22nd. So let's hope they're on time this year. I got notified through my personal email. They'll notify you through whatever email you put on the application.

Awesome, thank you Ely.

 

I'll just continue to check my email every 5 minutes unhealthily until May 31.

I apply at San Jose University and East Bay but got denied and CSM was my last option but now is my only option. I didn't know they have a childcare center . But hopefully we can an answer tomorrow . I hate the anxiety since now I am not sure if I am getting in since so many people have high grading. 

Good luck everybody!

Definitely has been a very stressful week. But I don't think they will tell us anything over the weekend right ? Probably on Tuesday or Wednesday. But definitely having this group has been helpful since I know I am not the only one that has not received a response yet .
