CSUB Nursing Program for Fall 2014

Published

Hello, I'm making this thread for everyone thinking of applying and applying to CSUB's nursing program for the Fall 2014! This is the month for transfers (like me) to submit the CSU Mentor app. The nursing app is already posted on the college's website!

Any nursing hopefuls for fall 2014?

I thought you had to convert the semester units to quarter units... ?

Oh! BTW allaboutkitties, I emailed the person in charge and she confirmed that there are no rankings and we will find out if we get in July/August. Just to make it official haha. (even though we already knew that). :)

I think mine is 65.5 if I calculate the units with the ones they have posted online. At my school micro was 5 semester units but online it says 3 semester units. So my gpa is lowered because of that.

I hope that is enough!!! I really want to go to csub. Is that where you want to go?

wow lol i have 65.5 too! good luck!

Try not to stress too much about getting in, I'm sure you guys are all sitting fine. I'm currently a student in CSUB's nursing program and when I got in, a lot of people that sat below the 60th ranking ended up getting in because students chose other schools, etc. If I remember correctly, we were told right at the beginning of July about our acceptance, because there's a lot of "to do's" before school starts in September.

Would you mind telling us how you got in? What was your gpa, teas score, etc.

Also, I think this year might be different on how they're selecting students...or am I wrong ? Thank you dear!

Lotteries can be really tricky... you either get in or you don't; it's like competition doesn't matter much at that point...

Well if you have good grades and did well on the TEAS, seems like you might have a good chance at getting in! :)

I also applied to CSULB, CSU Chico, and Los Angeles County. CSULB didn't take me in cause the chemistry course that I took at my CC is not in their agreement and I got waitlisted at CSU Chico. Still waiting to hear from Los Angeles County and CSUB.

Awesome you applied to a lot of school! What's your first pick?

No problem! I scored an 89 on the TEAS, and for GPA they only considered our pre-reqs and divided it in to 2 categories, science and everything else. I can't remember exactly but I had a 3.91 for science and a 3.7 or 3.8 for the other GPA category. I had "bonus" points for being from Kern County, being a continuing CSUB student, community service, etc. I think they're still doing the same selection method (point system), but because the adviser is on maternity leave they're cutting out rankings. I know a lot of people that got in with much lower TEAS scores and GPAs.

I know that we are planning a meet and greet for the newly admitted nursing students for early August, so I think you guys will know early July.

Yeah, I don't know if you saw the nursing dept. website before it was updated but a GPA conversion/calculation method file was posted on it before, which is how I was able to figure out how to do the conversions and stuff. It's actually pretty neat so if you want to me to send it to you let me know! :)

Ahhh we're a month away so we still have some waiting to do! It's nice knowing that it's official though.

Wow thank you for the info MSrn! Based on previous scores/acceptances on their website I'm just a little above average, plus I'm not a resident or continuing student at Bakersfield which is an easy 10 points that I could have had.

Would anyone else like to share their overall points out of the 105?

Oh awesome! Thank you for replying, I really appreciate it. How do you like the program so far, and what semester are you in now?

My first pick is CSUB (at least for right now). I would have to relocate from the Los Angeles area and that sounds pretty stressful...

How do we calculate our score? I'm not quite sure where the number 105 is coming from...
