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.
Tiger: I wish I could have read it! I sure hope my bday doesn't suck!
Sirena: I hope that there is darkness now so there is light at the end of the tunnel. CSULA would be an even better choice since its the closest CSU to me. But with my score taking a dump, I wouldn't be surprised! Oh, I dont know if you read the last page but the nursing department said they would be contacting through snail mail, not calls. So don't worry about checking your phone too much.
I mean from the look at this pool, it seems that CSULA will be harder to get into this year then last. If I could have applied last year I might have had a chance. Maybe I will be lucky and be an alternate? Or as I said, get a call late summer? I don't know. I will pay the stupid deposit and hope for the best.
At least CSUSB and CSULA admissions didn't deny me (thats a first) but I really hope to join you in this cohort. Honestly I do...
So it should take about 2 or 3 days given that they send mail today!!!!I too am nervous now!!!! Happy Birthday Sirena!!And dark blue- Way to stay positive!!! I hope it pays off for you!!
Anyone know the # of students that applied this fall 2012 cycle? And how many the SoN usually admits? My nerd of a mother is dying to know. I can't find stats anywhere
I think the son will give us a call and send us the mail. What happens if our mail unexpectedly gets lost in transit lol. I think the son is aware pf that possibility
i went to the nursing office there but the person in charge of the BSN wasn't there. I plan on going again tomorrow. Is there anything you would like me to ask them?

Yes! Can you ask how many students applied and how many were admitted? And of those that were admitted, how many were transfers? And please confirm or refute the "rumor" that they are sending multiple waves or chunks of acceptances at a time. I hope they just do it all at once.
