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've been reading this forum for a pretty long time already stressing about the long wait
and just getting information out of it but never created an account or posted anything.
But I got an email today saying that I also got into the CSULA SON!
I just wanted to say Congratulations to all you other people who did get in and I look forward to meeting all of you who
choose attend in the fall :)
I can't wait till we start our nursing adventures together!!!
And to all of you who did not receive letters yet please keep your heads up!
I go to CSULA and the CSULA SON sends letters in waves! So big chance you might get one tomorrow!
Also not everyone decides to go to CSULA as you might already know
My friend who got in last year received a call one week before school started saying that she was accepted because more spots opened up so don't be discouraged!
Karanb1r, Yes. mom's food + laundry service is awesome. I didn't think this decision would be so hard. csula does have wayyyy better pass rates, nclex- 90th percentiles while sfsu was in the 70's. If i go to csula, I'd be able to start fall, if I go to sfsu I start spring 2013. Everything about csula as a school sounds better than sf. My only problem- I'm still young and I want to experience a college life. Sounds immature & selfish to waste my parents $, but my heart says SFSU, brain says CSULA. I will take a day...or two to think about it.
@ Darkblue- don't lose hope- I feel that not everyone has received e-mails yet. I know you will get in. Head up!
If it were me, I'd say you live life once. College is something you want to look back and say "it was an amazing experience". But hey, I'm biased atm since i'm still waiting for my letter haha!
Yea but im trying to figure out who is theoretically supposed to get an acceptance email, based on kosmic's score of 22, but did not. Just being a desperate realist trying to figure out if there is true hope or false hope : )
I honestly can care less about on campus college experience because I value my grades and convenience over that experience.I am 20 years old and I have my whole life, after nursing school, to do whatever I want.
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.
