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.
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.
Good idea! I think I will submit a hard copy too, just to be safe :)
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?
Thanks and can't wait to meet you all! :)
Hey! I was thinking of scanning my confirmation letter too, but I thought I'd just fill it out on the computer and attach it as a reply to Monica's original email. But since I am unsure, I think I'm just gonna go to CSULA to deliver it by hand. Better safe than sorry!
I was thinking about just filling it out online too but it was weird cause they require a signature so I was scared they wouldn't accept a typed signature.
That's why i'm also hand delivering it tomorrow :)
Yup, I'm 21 too! My bday was about 3 months ago :) Definitely will enjoy the summer (with a drink or two) before the intensity of nursing school, but I can't wait!
