CSU Chico Fall 2020

Published

Hey everyone! I am going to be applying for Chico's nursing program for Fall 2020. Just wondering how everyone's application process is going and what their point standing is as of right now. I am very nervous but hopeful!

I was worried about my health care experience and language documents because they deviate a bit from the kind of documentation they request. I sent an email to Chico State's prenursing adviser and they told me that the documentation I submitted is acceptable, so assuming I didn't make any errors in my application, I will have 95 points.

I applied to Sac State as well! Though I think I will be wait listed from their program. I feel as though they have a less lenient point system compared to Chico. Chico provides more of a leeway for what you can have in terms of TEAS score and GPA because a score of 90+ on the TEAS and a GPA above 3.75 gives you all of the points for those point categories.

If they said it is acceptable I'm sure you'll get the 95 points, which is definitely a really good standing! And ya I feel much more confident with Chico because Sac State also has quite a few extra points that don't apply to me or have different standards for those than Chico does. Which school is your top choice?

Same! I can't get most of Sac State's optional criteria. I like both colleges but I prefer Sacramento State just a bit more than Chico. I would love to attend either though because they're both great programs.

I mentioned earlier in this forum that it says we have to accept or decline the initial acceptance by May 1st but we won't even hear back from the nursing program until the 1st to 15th. I'm planning on giving them a call or emailing them when I have a chance about this so I will update you guys when I have an answer on what to do about that.

This is the email I received from the pre-nursing advisor regarding this:

"Through your CSU, Chico portal account, while completing your Intent to Enroll, you should see an option to request a waiver of the $200 enrollment deposit as a nursing applicant. You can contact Admissions if you are still having trouble with this."

It was super easy, you just click accept and then there's a button that says exempt. It lists out reasons that you may be exempt and being a nursing student is one of them!

I think it's Enloe Medical Center (which is pretty close to campus), Oroville Hospital in Oroville, Adventist Health and Rideout Hospital in Marysville, and Mercy Medical Center in Redding. I'm not exactly sure how it is set up, but it lists these places as clinicals to register for in each of the 'Semester' sections of the Basic BSN part of Chico's Nursing School page. I thought students would all go to the same hospital for clinicals, but it seems like we have to register for a section at a specific place and that's the one we stay at. Not 100% sure on that though, It is a little confusing. The Chico School of Nursing page doesn't have any info on Semester 1, so I'm hoping things will get cleared up then

The anticipation is killing me! I wonder how Chico will proceed w/ clinicals given the current situation. I just got an email today, stating:

"This notification is being sent to confirm that your supplemental NursingCAS application for the Chico State Nursing program for Fall 2020 remains in our review pool."

Good luck to everyone ❤️

No problem. I have been waiting to hear any news from the program. I wonder if cohorts will be pushed back.

Yes so many! The point cutoffs are always so high with chico! I’m at 90 points so I’m with you on that! I think last semester was about 93 points for the cutoff.... Who knows what this semesters will be though! Goodluck!
