Wondering if anyone out there is going to be applying to Concordia Irvine's fall program for 2017?
Unfortunately I missed the application deadline for the summer program but plan to apply in May for the fall start date. I'm pretty upset with myself for missing the last deadline but trying to focus on moving forward instead of ruminating on my failure.
I have all prerequisites completed for CUI's program save chemistry due to their 5-year statute of limitations. I am taking chemistry for nursing majors this semester, despite having two full years of chemistry (general and organic) from my BS with A's.
I was a little frustrated that I had to re-take the class because I completed all other science prerequisites in 2016 with a 4.0, but you have to do what you have to do right! Ultimately I understand why they have the requirement though. And I like chemistry anyway, it's just hard because it takes so much time away from being able to work and save money for next year where I will hopefully be in a program somewhere.
For those of you who might already be in a CUI ABSN program or have completed the ABSN program at CUI, I'd also like to hear from you about your experiences. I am not Lutheran but I did go to a Lutheran high school and actually know a number of people who went to college at CUI for other majors. Thanks!
I got my acceptance email today! Still waiting for the packet to come in the mail! I would love to be added to the Facebook group! Stephanie Lowe and my email is [email protected]! :)

No, I don't think so. I never received any emails and still no letter from them. I don't think I had that great of a chance anyways. I had 3.0 cumulative GPA with no volunteer/medical experience. I was actually surprised that I got an interview. I only applied because there was no application fee for the month of May haha. Congrats to all of you though! I'll be moving forward with my current choice :)
They said they did send them all when I called a few days ago. Just got my denial again. I'm curious what everyone's stats were that were accepted. I had a 3.75 prereq gpa and a 3.2 gpa from my BS from a while back. About 700 volunteer hours. It would be my third time interviewing just wondering what I'm doing wrong. Congrats to everyone though!
those are not bad stats at all, are you saying you interviewed 3 times at CUI? I don't know if there is direct messaging or anything like that on this website as this is my first post, but holla at me I can help if you need interview help. Also, have you looked into CSU San Marcos? With a 3.75 prereq GPA you'd stand a killer chance with their program as the pre reqs play like 50% in the overall points decision

Don't give up! Don't look at this as a failure or a weakness, look at it as a challenge to grow. I personally believe as much as stats are important, it's more important to be a well rounded person. I sure didn't have the highest GPAs out of everyone who applied but it was my extracurriculars, unique qualities and communication skills during the interview. As this was my first ever interview, I learned you just need to go in and be yourself. Don't try to be someone you aren't. There isn't a checklist they're marking off as you talk to them, they're looking for unique individuals. If you need any help or other advice feel free to reach out to me!
