CSULA ABSN Summer 2020

Published

Hi everyone! Applications open in November (and due in January) but thought I’d open up a forum now so we can share and keep each other updated!

This forum is for the CSULA’s Accelerated BSN program that’ll begin Summer 2020!

Anyone re-applying? This will be my first time applying! I have one more science pre-req + stats + TEAS left to go!

@squaresma I started a program but it was too intense. I went to TCAB at Cedars. The 4 hour commitment was unfortunately too much on top on driving an hour each way. I think I would like to start up in the summer when I’m not preoccupied with school and then ride it out the following semester. Maybe finding a program closer to me on the west side.

I agree, being a parent has made the pre-req’s hard but I’m sure it’s nothing like the actual program. I’m so nervous for that. unfortunately I have to take pre-req’s one per semester.

I’m crossing my fingers you get it. When should you be hearing back?? I need to be sure to check in on you:)

totally need to see/hear how children effect the experience

@Staceyfreddy16 where are you on the Westside? I’m in Mar Vista- also applying to SMC ADN program. All of these programs are so competitive... it’s crazy!

@squaresma I'm in Westchester. Look into the ADN to BSN collaboration. That could be a way in too! Good luck!!!

@etchensketch thank you so much for offering to share! Would love to know a typical week for you. How often would the schedule change? What was harder, the juggle of the schedule or the academic part of the courses? Thank you again!!! All the insight I can get, the better!!!

Hi Everyone!,

I got an email that my application was received but I have yet to receive any follow-up emails regarding applying to the university or an interview. I'm a bit nervous now. The application procedure documents says that applicants who are eligible should receive an email to apply to the university in February. Has anyone received an email for this yet?

@chrissyh I got an email back in February with links to apply to the university. It was from Jennifer Custodio, not the university, so maybe recheck your email. I haven’t gotten any invitations for interviews, yet, though, so we’re all in that boat together. ?

I received the email to apply to CSULA on 2/10, and had an interview the first week of February... I haven't heard anything since.

Quick question, did the email mention when the university application deadline was?
