This is the busiest time of year for schools. That's why she is probably not responding. I graduated from CSN this past December, and the office personnel were always running around like their heads were cut off. Best of luck to all of you who are trying to apply!

have anyone heard of anything? news, info?

NEWS FLASH!! I just spoke with the lady that takes the applications (we all know who she is) and she told me that they will be making the calls at the end of April. Here's the good part. She said that there were 111 applicants for the full time and 27 for the part time Fall 09 program. Whoohoo!! She also said that they will only take the applications that were complete. I guess that means that applicants that did not have all prerequisite met will not be selected. It looks like a small class for the Fall semester. It is looking good for all of us!!! :yeah:

WOWwww, thats awesome news, thankx WTXgirl! thats crazy how they dont even have enough apps to fill up all the spots, that's unheard of. So by what youre saying, a student can technicly get in this sememster with ONE point? haha that's awesome.... well congrats everyone!!!

I think what she is saying is, if you meet the selection criteria and you have all your i's dotted and t's crossed on your application, then your in. That is the message I got from her. It still sounds good to me. I would assume to think that a person would not apply unless they met the criteria, right? Or unless they felt lucky they could eek by the selction committee. Just my thoughts.

that is crazy, considering the number of students who wanted to apply but didn't get a chance to take the TEAS b/c of the wait list...me thinks this school is disorganized. they could potentially be graduating 15 or so more nurses for the semester if they had allowed for more students to take the test or expanded the cut off date. that's a bit of a waist of resources =(. but oh well, less competition if WTXgrl has accurate info.

Her information is legit. I went and asked limited entry last Monday. Hopefully they will accept all the completed applicants. If they do then I am in.

hdxdoode · Apr 4, 2009

the number 128 on the advisement sheet is only a ceiling number, they dont have to accept that many students. Thats why they didnt extend the deadline, etc to get more applicants. we're in!!! assuming we didnt messed up our our apps.

ok i talked to limited entry as well and got the same 111 applicants response. I asked if my application "looked complete" and was told it was. so...yeaaa. it's looken good! :up:

Just left campus and spoke with the lady in admissions and she said they will be making the phone calls sometime next week. (4-27 to 5-01) I also inquired about the selection criteria of the applications and if that means that all of the 111 applications would be accepted. Her reply was, they first select the applications that meet the criteria that are stated in the box on the top of the Fall Program Course Sheet and then from there they select by points. I still don't know what the lowest points you can have and still be selected. ??? She said that some of the applicants did not even take the TEAS test but submitted it anyway (Don't know why someone would do that:bugeyes:) but that will whittle down the class some more.

Sooo, if you passed the TEAS and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 for all program prerequisites then the points may not really matter since they don't have more than the 128 applicants. Just my guess.

Now we just gotta wait until next week. Geez, it gonna be a long week!

hdxdoode · Apr 14, 2009

she told me the same thing. but i dont know what she means by selecting students by points? points doesnt even matter since there are less than 128 applicants. i asked her " does this mean if you meet the minimum requirements than you're in"? she said "NO"... huh??? she made it seemed like even though you may meet the requirement you still may not get in!!!! i dont know.... whatevers.
