It must feel good to have it all done! I'm waiting on my fall grades to be posted before I mail the app. I wasn't able to get any volunteer experience thanks to covid so I'm hoping that my TEAS and GPA will make up for it. Fingers crossed! And yes, I'm also applying to CSULB, CSUF, and CSUSM.

I'm lurking in here LOL!

Did you have the people who wrote you letters of recommendation mail them straight to CSULA, or did you have them send them to you and mail one big application packet yourself?

Good luck on the TEAS!! For letters of recommendation, as far as I know we are supposed to include them in the packet that we send ourselves. Seemed a little weird to me but oh well haha

Good luck as well ? For LORs, I also had them send it to me in an  envelope and then included them in my big application packet.

I bought the Trivium test prep book off Amazon and made a bunch of flash cards as I went through it. I also just googled different practice tests so that I could get a feel for how in-depth I needed to know certain material. Oh also theres an app called TEAS pocket prep that was pretty helpful! Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!
