CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2012)

Published

Hello,

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. :eek:

Does anyone know which is true? :confused: 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.

Thank you~

Gonna guess the cutoff was probably 24 since I have 23 and did not get an email. I'm just gonna go there after class. I'm tired of guessing a waiting.

24 for a cut off is a little to high in my opinion

please ask for the cutt off score and when they are done sending accept/alternate/rejection emails

Will do. Any others have questions they want me to ask?24 does seem high, but someone in the SON told me that this year there are lots of 4.0's and high TEAS score compared to previous years.

Ahhh, must be a competitive pool of applicants this year if the son made that statement. Hang tight guys. More emails will be sent out throughout the day

this is just ridiculous. I would have gotten in with my previous 24 points! That just ticks me off. Then that evaluater must have been lying to me when he said I looked competitive...ugh typical...

anyway...that is all the questions I can think of...just drill'em if you can. get as much info as possible!

If i attended CSULA, you bet your $$ I would be there right with ya

I got 12 for the preqres 10 for the teas and 2 for volunteering

U are competitive thought last year cut off was 17 . Hang in there. Maybe they are sending letters by point ranking
