CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2012)

[gaspu8myc00kie]

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.

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.

Thank you~

you mean you got 12 for teas and 10 for pre-req?

i would have had at least 10 for pre req.....ugh

damn mr. smarty pants!

i probably would have gotten in last year if I would have applied, but i had micro and physio in progress.

the one semester i apply and the competition soars!

24 is really high for a cut off. I hope a lot of people choose to go somewhere else.

as i said, if someone is reading and got in somewhere else and wants to go there, please let CSULA find out ASAP, its not fair for others (ie. azhan and abodamurse) to be left hanging dry

I haven't gotten any email yet. And doesnt look like I got into SDSU Has anyone been notified today or got an email TODAY that they are in?

[kosmic2003]

U can get a total of 15 points for the pre req section. And 12 on the teas

[kosmic2003]

Teas 10 points since i got 90th percentile on both reading and english and 8 for nursing prereqs and 4 for overall

how did you NOT get into SDSU? I mean your in for CSULB. Thats good though! Your top choice!

People have posted that they have gotten emails but I don't think anyone got them TODAY.

If everyone could check their emails and look at the time and date. If you got one this morning then PLEASE post...they may send out emails once a week....

THAT WOULD SUCK!

I was thinking pre req is PRE REQ and then there is overall GPA.

hahah I didn't think you combined them!

i see now. my apology sir...lol

[Spiffyness]

That's what I don't understand too Dark! I didn't get an email but I'm denied admissions for some reason on their website. It sucks cause I was really considering it. but I really hope you get in CSUSB! I'm rootin for ya :)

[DarkBluePhoenix]

I have very little hope for CSULA but I just paid the deposit in hopes that I get some sort of email either in the next few weeks or in the summer....ugh I feel like I just wasted my money

Now on to pay CSUSBs

[Spiffyness]

Will CSULA refund you if you don't get in?

[DarkBluePhoenix]

I dont know...at this point. I figure, I probably wont get in but am maybe an alternate(?)

CSUSB said they would. I will email the director of admissions to CSULA...see what they say.

At first CSUSB said they wouldn't but the director was really nice and said they would refund it for me

Hey guys, I got an acceptance email from CSULA yesterday afternoon, I just emailed my response form that I'm not going to accept the spot. I hope they notify the alternates ASAP! Good luck you guys!

Spiffy:

That is so weird... I feel like you had more than enough points to get in to SD! I got accepted today but we only have until monday to respond... kind of lame. Also, the acceptance email was kind of rude... it talked about how i was accepted then there was a huge paragraph about how they don't have enough clinical spots for all the students they are taking, and by accepting the spot in the program you are agreeing to be ok with the fact that you might not graduate in 5 semesters. Not good. Probably I will not accept for that reason alone.
