CSUB Nursing Fall 2020

[purelycurly98]

Hi everyone,

I'm opening this forum for those that are applying to the program beginning Fall 2020 ? My stats:

Prerequisite GPA: 3.81

Math/Science GPA: 3.73

TEAS: 84.7

I live about 2 hours away from the school so I won't receive the continuing student or residency points.

I also applied to CSUCI.

Good luck to everyone applying!

Has anyone else not received an email from the school? Been checking my email everyday

I haven’t received anything yet either. I’m planning to call this week and see if they have an update.

Just received an email from them saying that they send out acceptance/denial letters in batches each week. I don’t know if that is normal thing for a nursing program to do.

Didn't even know this thread/group existed LOL. I received my acceptance June 4th as well! Acceptances/rejections are rolled out through June-August, so keep checking your emails! CONGRATS too to everyone that's been accepted so far! Good luck :]

Was accepted as well, but I ended up declining. CONGRATS to everyone that got in. Good luck to those who are still waiting for letters! Check your spam!

I got accepted today, June 25. I felt so embarrassed saying I was accepted after only being accepted to the university, but at least I am accepted now. It just took a while. Anyone here planning on attending?

CONGRATS!! I know the acceptance process was so confusing and there seemed to be so many little steps and fees. I had to keep searching for information, and I wanted to keep everyone informed because I know the process was so stressful! I hope I didn't discourage you! ❤️But.. YOU GOT IN! ?? That's all that matters. You should be VERY proud of yourself!? Yes, I will be attending..I hope to see you there!!?

I got my acceptance email! I was wondering if there is a facebook page for those of us who were admitted. Also, does anyone know if our entire first year or semester is going to be online?

CONGRATS! I got accepted yesterday as well, I asked Eva about classes being online or not and she said the lecture part will be online while the clinicals will be in person. So it sounds like a mix as of now. I am needing to move from the Bay Area very soon, if anyone can drop some tips/hints on places/areas to live in Bakersfield that would be much appreciated! Maybe we could get a GroupMe group message going for everyone in our cohort?

Does anyone know how long the background and drug test going to take? I need to submit them in a week and I don’t know if the pandemic affects the process. I also going to move from La to Bakersfield as well!! let’s have a group chat!!

Hello! It will only take a couple of days. I live in Bakersfield and a was worried abt it too because I’m currently in Sonoma county temporarily.. pay for both of them online and go to a Labcorp clinic in your area with your paid receipt, background is really fast, drug test maybe it takes 3 days if all.

I know there’s a General fb group “CSUB student swap” and I recently saw posts of ppl looking for roommates. Mainly it’s for selling books but they post abt everything.
but we should definitely make a fb group or something, so we can stay in contact while most of the classes are online. I fear they may be mostly online in the Spring too ?

You want to stay in the area around CSUB, north west & south west are generally good areas. Other areas may be cheaper but you may find yourself in a not-so-safe area (it really varies street by street sometimes!) and the traffic to cross town Is a pain in the b*tt! So make yourself a favor and stay within the west side of town! You’ll save in fuel money and time! ?
