What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing topics related to being waitlisted, accepted, or denied from a healthcare program. They are sharing information about volunteer hours, points received, and the process of responding to emails and attending mandatory meetings. 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 🙂

How many points did you guys have? Hoping we all hear good news tomorrow!!

Has anyone tried calling or emailing them to ask? I know they don't mind if we ask. They only mind if we call to ask specifically about our individual application.

Ehh... I never tried contacting them. I just interpret it as that they'll notify us at their deadline of May 31, and any earlier would free game. Seems like this could be a year where it's a bit later than previous years. May be a lot of great competition in this cycle

I guess so. I am absolutely sure this year is super competitive compared to previous years though because I've noticed that the cut off points for all the schools (and from schools I applied to) have greatly increased by 10, 15 or so points and these schools specifically stated this as well in the emails. A 65+ would get you in most ADN programs and now it's 76+ which obviously depends on each schools system. So it doesn't surprise me that this is the case here in this school as well.

But to add to that, that's why I'm a little more extra nervous myself this year. I already made the waitlist in one but it'd be nice to be in completely here.

Just as much as points play a significant role, I hope our personal statements have a lot of weight to their decision. 83 out of a potential 113 points doesn't seem too competitive. I hope the best for us all

I have 79 points so obviously not as competitive, but I do hope they look into personal statements more, experience, and proximity. I'm so stressed!
