CSU Los Angeles School of Nursing (CSULA Fall 2012)

U.S.A. California

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~

I couldn't get much info since they all seemed really busy and I'm not sure if what they're telling me is the truth. I get the feeling they are just telling me BS so I'll stop asking questions. For what it's worth, here's what they told me.They're not done sending out all the emails and not in any specific order. Theyre trying to finish everything before the May 1st deadline so the ppl who aren't getting in won't have to waste their money. One person told me that she is guesstimating the cutoff score will be 22. While the main person says she doesn't know. As far my file, she didn't have time to go over it with me and said she'll call me later so I left my phone number with her.

Guys, what is the name of the facebook page?

Good info abode. Did anyone get emails today? Dark u could have waited until Monday at the latest to pay for the deposit

Getting even more irritated by the second.

ah i know...i am not very patient. but if they are sending them out in 'waves' then i bet they are sending out a batch every few days or few weeks. if a few people are declining already then i bet they are going to wait to see how many more people have declined. it seems a lot of people know of at least one or two people who got in late in the summer with VERY low points. maybe it could be me?

i hope the cut off score isn't that high. that is waaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than the '17' of last year.

@spiffy: you should have received an email regarding CSULA decision. Your points were wayy more than enough to get you a spot.

well at least my deposit is there so that they can see i paid it and are willing to...wait?

@ella: congrats! and thank you for letting them know that you have opened a spot for someone else! enjoy CSULBs program!

@abode: thx for taking one for the team!

idk...

this whole situation is just. emotionally draining. apparently hard work doesn't pay off...at least for me it doesn't

i would like to add the irony (at least for my recent situations)

CSULB:

denied from admissions

interviewed for program

overall status: denied

CSULA&CSUSB

accepted by admission

mostly likely denied from programs

overall status:wasted my time (and denied)

wow....talk about....my typical luck....

if the cutoff is 24 points, then im not getting in. crap.

me neither

@ dark. I wish I could do more to help the team. The fight is not over yet, it just began. LolI know it's hard to do but let's stay positive ppl. I for one can say that I've learned alot about myself during my endeavors of becoming a nurse. So it wasnt all that bad as ive improved myself ALOT. Worst case scenario, I'll just retake the TEAS and reapply next year. My grades are there, it's just the TEAS that messed me up. Who knows, maybe I'll magically get a letter soon. All I know is that I feel like a psycho at the moment trying to control a situation I have no control over. I need to detach a little bit. Time to say hello to my friend johnnie walker and his buddy Hennessy for a weekend of fun

cmon CSULA release some more acceptance emails!

If they were sending more emails, they would have sent them already. I guess I am out of the running...

This is goodbye guys!

Have fun for those in the program. For those that didn't make it...There is always next year. There is always ADN programs. There is always getting a bachelors and then getting into an ABSN program or EL-MSN program.

I wish I could have joined you all. I would have really liked to get into this school because its high pass rate and the fact that it is the closest BSN program for me. Maybe I will consider WCU. I don't know.

Well. Enjoy the program!

lol dark, it is not the end yet. Still got the whole day to go
