How many here has applied for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at CSULA?
I know it is a little bit early to talk about this, but I just submitted all of my grades, TEAS scores (ATI sends them to CSULA SON for you), and notification of health care work experience (dental assistant) from an employer.
It has been a long and anxious wait till April/May for letters of acceptance to come in, so I hope this thread can help everyone who is dealing with the same anxiety and stress that we are all dealing with.
So If anyone would like to share their overall "points" score, or questions regarding pre-reqs TEAS etc. I would be alright to share all of you mine, and answer some questions that I might know.
They have sent another wave of acceptance letters at about 12pm today. She decided not to call anyone because she was too busy and such. So if you are accepted, expect a letter in the mail by tomorrow, or weds. If not, she will also call on thurs to verify if you got the letter or not.
I also found out, the way that they calculated both of my TEAS scores, I really didn't have a 26. I've been sitting only on a 23 the entire time!!!!!
So I'm just gonna make peace with it, and accept the fact that I may be waitlisted... I'm prepared for the worst, and I wish all of you added inspiration and the best of luck!!!!
P.S. I just met a girl who got in the program for fall 2010. she was on the waitlist for the entire summer until the school of nursing gave her a call proposing to be in their cohort just 2 weeks before classes started. Her STATS were only 19 points (3.33 pre req GPA, 3.67 overall, 8/12 TEAS, and 2 points volunteer)
aw very comforting, i guess you never know until you know!
I have read some of your blogs. Your desire to keep on going and apply yourself to many schools, is an inspiration to me, and I'm sure it is to other people!
So I'm bumming around in a dark cloud all day because it's Tuesday and I have yet to get a call from the SON. All day at work I'm checking my cellphone like every 15 minutes. NOTHING! I get to class and I don't do very well on my Life-span Psychology mid-term. I figured, what's the point? I won't get accepted to the nursing school this year, so I'll go salsa dancing to blow off steam. I came home at 2:00 AM and picked up the mail: all small envelopes! Why bother....
I slam the pile of mail on the living room table, livid. I go through the mail to see. I see an envelope with MY WRITING in it. I recognized it immediately. I received a similar envelope with a REJECTION letter in it a few months back. Oh crap! They've rejected me! I must have stared at the envelope for about half a minute wondering how could this happen. Is this the way this story is going to end??? I opened the thing.... It's an ACCEPTANCE letter.
Now, I'm flying like a kite! How could something so small, mean so much??? Unbelievable....
@ckim - thanks for the compliment. I thought about taking Life-Span Psych in the summer as well, but then I realized I'd have a lot more fun by getting that out of the way now and have the entire summer off before the real grind starts in the Fall. Hope to see you in September!
@BeachBedHead - my stats are: male, single, 6'00", 200 lbs.... j/k I scored 24 points:
Overall GPA: 3.80 = 5 points
Pre-req GPA: 3.86 = 10 points
English TEAS score = 5 points
Reading TEAS score = 4 points
No volunteer or work experience points. Hope to see you next year!
Hi guys sorry for the late response; I haven't been checking the forums for a past couple of days. Anyways, congrats to everyone that got accepted to the fall 2012 class. I had a total of 22 points.

Anyone got an idea what time of the month they will be mailing us the second set of information regarding the orientation/nursing program.
Aw Congrats to all who were accepted, for those who aren't well good luck next time and maybe this was a blessing in disguise.
Good luck! I hope you do all do well!
Now I hope to see you guys next year as I apply for fall 2012. Please keep posting and I hope you all post up when your first quarter is over so you guys can tell of us how its going.
Anyone who applied as a transfer know the earliest you can apply to school of nursing?
The reason I ask is because if its like last years, applications for SON open up Sept 1st but transfers cant even apply to.the school until Oct 1. I have a CIN because I applied to CSULA in 2009 and got as far as accepted but withdrew for personal reasons.
So I am wondering if I can apply to the SON, put my CIN down (I am assuming its the same) and apply as soon as the school allows transfer applications?
