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.
I went again and found some answers. She said that over 500 people applied to the program. She also says shes going to accept 40-60 students. The letters havent been mailed yet but it'll be mailed out this week (not sure about whether or not they're sending the letters in waves) she doesnt know the stats of this years applicant pool so she couldnt tell me what the cutoff or how many transfers were accepted. Sorry i didnt get much information, but I hope it helped.
Good info Azhan. We will probably get our letters next week since they haven't send them out yet. For those that did not pay the $100 deposit fee, are you going to wait it out until the letters come in the mail?
Yes I got into CSULB! Good luck to everyone who applied to CSULA! I also got into SFSU but for Spring 2013 which I will deny. Still waiting for SDSU, CSUS, and CSUSB (which i'm whatever about now)
Well this kinda puts me in a bad spot if they aren't coming in by Friday. I figured I wasn't accepted so I would skip out on paying this week. BUT since we might not get them til NEXT week. I wont have the $$. I am going to email them and ask about my status and tell them about the $$ issue. $100 is not something I can just give away....
Let me see what they say.
@spiffy: Congrats! Dont forget to tell CSULA (if your choosing to attend CSULB) that your out of the running!
I've been accepted to SFSU also, & like spiffy, for spring 2013. Huge relief I got into at least ONE program..If i get into CSULA, it would be nice because I'd get to start right away in the fall. But I'm also yearning for that "living on my own" kind of experience. I'm 21 and although I love my parents, I think I need to get away from them lol. As for the deposit... **** it...I'll just pay for it now I guess. Dang it...I was really hoping letters would be here today or tomorrow. But if they haven't even mailed them out yet...chances are it will probably be delivered to us at the end of the week.

Congrats! I'm jealous. But I am SO VERY happy for you. gosh...csulb is such a great school. Hope you enjoy your time there & good luck
Congrats to those who got accepted into a program. I envy you!I missed the point cutoff for CSULB by .2 points cause my speech is still in progress. If my speech was done I would have had an A grade. Which would have put me above the 9.1 cutoff. I just spoke to my old Chem prof about this and he just informed me that they cannot do that and it is illegal for them to fill it with a random grade as it is unethical and an cannot be used against me. Anyone else know if this is true? If so, I will pursue this further.
