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.
Hello everyone! I have been reading (stalking) this forum for a few weeks now as the anticipation for admissions decisions built! I wasn't going to jump in until karan encouraged us readers to do so :)
I got my acceptance email today! I had 24 points. I will definitely be attending CSULA in the fall. Already submitted the $100 and the confirmation page that came with the acceptance email. Did anyone else submit the confirmation letter yet? I printed mine out, filled it out, then scanned it into my computer and emailed it to --------. But it did not say really who to email it to. Did anyone email it back to -------- too?
I was thinking about faxing it, because we own a fax machine lol.But if I can scan it that would be better.I will fill it out today, and send it in tomorrow for sure. I kinda want to fax it, mail it and scan/email it to be extra sure they get it lol
Haha,I just scanned my acceptance and replied to the email that I got the acceptance letter in. I will be submitting a digital copy along with a physical copy of my acceptance just to be sure the SoN gets it.
Should that hold true, I can't seem to grasp why so much emphasis is placed on 1 test while prerequisite gpa is based on numerous classes consisting of many tests, time, effort, sweat, and sometimes blood(I cut myself dissecting a cat). Doing good on 1 test just requires enough time to prepare and anyone can pass with good scores. IMO prerequisite classes should carry more weight. But I guess my opinion doesnt really matter as everyone has one.

Sorry to hear you got cut dissecting a cat :/
I wondered the same thing as you about the whole english and reading thing so I asked them why they just don't put emphasis on the actual science courses since it is more related to nursing. According to them, they emphasize the english and reading because they want to make sure we nurses don't read anything wrong on the job like patient's files or any important documents as it might cause us to give the wrong medications or make errors. The prereqs measure the science knowledge so they needed the english part also.
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.
