I thought I'd make this thread for the new application group... even though it's a bit late since we have to all apply soon!
Anyway! I want to apply for the Fall 2012 term but I had some questions. I am an current CSULA student that transferred to CSULA in Fall 2010. I'm a Psychology major but am applying for Fall 2012 Nursing. I haven't taken my TEAS yet, but I'll be taking that on Friday (!!), so I'm very nervous about that.
That said, this is my first question:
I've been getting mixed info from different people. When I visited the Academic Advising Office last Spring (2011), the adviser told me that as long as I did not graduate from CSULA BEFORE I graduated, I could apply to the SON as a BSN applicant. I called SON to see if I could even apply for the ELM program and they told me that as far as they knew, I could not because I did not have my Bachelor's Degree yet.
So right now, I have approximately 2 quarters left in order to finish my Psychology major, approximately 6~8 classes. Ideally, I could finish by Spring 2012, but depending on my other workloads, I could push it back to Fall 2012. The problem is that I'm not allowed to graduate if I want to go into the basic program so I can't apply for graduation just yet. But IF I don't get into the BSN program, then I have to wait another two quarters after May or June or whenever they send out acceptances in order to officially graduate.
So I went to go and talk to my adviser about graduation and if I should even bother applying for Spring 2012 graduation and she tells me that no, I'm not allowed to apply for a BSN but I can go for the ELM program.
Does anyone know which is true? The CSULA advisers tell me that I can't apply for the Basic program but I can apply for ELM while the SON says that I can't apply for ELM because I don't have my Bachelor's degree yet and I should apply for the BSN program. Other graduate schools like APU and UCLA have also told me the same thing - without a Bachelor's, I cannot get apply for the ELM program at their school.
Soooo, what are you guys doing while you are waiting for a response from the SoN? Are you currently attending collegeat this time? Working? Or taking a break?
I'm currently working full time at a home health care agency, and going to school full-time. Taking Poli Sci, Psych 2 (Mind & Brain), Health, and Cultural Anthro.
As of recent, I've decided that if I don't get in here, I shall give West Coast a try. Good reviews have gone up as far as I know from people who go there, and it's finally become accredited as of November last year.
Plus, since I'm done with my prereqs, I'll be paying less - around 90 grand.
Kosmic- Wow, that sounds like a fun course load, haha. I'm going to try to get into stats over the summer, I am dreading it!
Daisies- Hopefully you will get in so you wont have to worry about West Coast because even at the bargain price of 90k that would kill me! I guess one of the perks of living in SoCal is getting used to everything costing a million bucks.
Haha, yeah stats is crazy. Such a different subject from what I have been studying before (nursing prereqs lol). Anyways damn! 90000 for west coast! That is crazy!
