Mermaid5 I think they might accept more as there were more applicants. I would think atleast

I want to know if they will let the people who don't get accepted know that they aren't. Because I applied knowing I wouldn't get in this semester because I am finishing my last two pre-reqs and I am going to take math 120 in the summer since I only found out recently that math 120 gets an extra 10 points. But I don't want to make any plans on the crazy chance that I do get accepted. Does anyone know if they will let us know?

I think you get a letter if your not accepted. A phone call if your in. That what they said at the application workshop. It wasn't clear when the letter is sent out but she said if its small hint 1 page, not a good sign! I would imagine its sent out around the same time that they call applicants.

Good luck:-))

It's doubtful that they will take the full 136. They seem to be scaling it down.

I looked in my old emails from my acceptance (Spring '13). There were 147 total applicants for my group and they accepted about 112 I think. These numbers are for full-time and part-time.

In years past there were well over 300 applicants for the same "up to 136" spots. They did not increase the number of accepted students based on the number who applied. They only have a set amount of clinical sections available at all of the facilities and that number does not change based on the number of applicants. If anything, the amount of accepted students will continue to go down since there are so few clinical spots that CSN must compete for with all of the other nursing schools.

Actually Christina might be right. Looked at the Fall 2015 program sheet and it says max students 102.

Pretty much the number they have been accepting over the last couple semesters. I will call tomorrow and ask the lady if they already decided on the amounts they will accept.

Yea that all makes sense. I guess at this point we just have to wait til May to see if we are in or not. The next month in a half are going to be a long wait lol

I emailed today and she said they haven't decided the number of students they will accept in the regular program and they won't decide until they see and analyze all the applications. At least there is hope...:))

Good luck everyone for the long wait!

To add to what Christina said... They are scaling back the number of students accepted because CSN is receiving less and less clinical spots (this is more for 2nd semester and beyond). There are so many "nursing" programs that need clinical spots that CSN is fighting for a limited number of clinical placements.

My class started with 130 (FT & PT combined).
