CSULA- ELMN 2012

Published

I thought we should start a thread for CSULA ELMN summer 2012 applicants since applications are due next month and I'm interested in talking to other people that are applying. Does anyone know how they choose acceptance- is it based on the same point system as their BSN program? Also, does anyone know if they look at cumulative gpa or just the last 60 semester/90 quarter units? There's a few quarters my sophomore year where I slacked off on some classes, but my last 2 years have been much better, so obviously I would prefer that to be weighed more. CSULA seems to focus more on grades than other schools I plan on applying to as there didn't seem to be much room for volunteer experience, certifications, etc. outside of the essay so I'm a little nervous. Anyhoo, I would love to get to know other people who are also applying & any info from people who have already went through this process before would be awesome : )

congrats susan007 and anewnurse79! i'm sitting tight, waiting to hear either way--email or phone call!

congrats, susan007 and anewnurse79! i will also be joining the 2012 cohort!!!!

have you two already decided to accept or are you waiting on any other programs?

csula was my #1 choice (and i only applied to one other program mainly because my fiance forced me to have a back-up), so i've had my mind made up for quite some time :)

CONGRATS everyone! I still haven't received a call but happy for you!

I just got a call too!! I can't believe I'm in... I'm so excited! I'll have to contact UCLA to retract my acceptance. congrats to those who are in thus far. I'm sure she's still making calls so hang tight for those still waiting. can't wait to meet everyone on may 6th!

Congrats guys!!! Such an exciting day. I am living vicariously through all of you who have heard and just keeping my fingers crossed and phone in hand :)

It's May 5th, lilpeapods! Don't be late ;)

oops! that would seriously suck if I showed up a day later. just gotta remind myself it's Cinco De Mayo!

Congrats all! I am probably not going to accept and instead go with UCLA, but I'm going to take a long hard think about it this week. I loved K and really loved the program. The thing that kills me is the time commitment (3+ years vs 2 years at UCLA). Seriously love that K is so involved and speaks so fondly of her cohorts (seriously - she was on fire when I interviewed with her - she could recall students from cohorts going back years - that's super impressive).

Yeah, CSULA's program is longer... but it gives you a more advanced degree, so it all works out in the end.

Just got the call, I'm in! So excited. I'm going to be an NP in just over 3 years from now! Can't wait to meet everyone on the 5th :w00t:

@anewnurse79-come join the ranks! no pressure ;) congrats, sunshiine!!

Well, I haven't heard back yet, so I don't have too much hope. I suppose I should start filling out a response for for my 2nd choice!
