CSULA Fall 2016 Nursing (BSN)

Updated:   Published

I realize it may be early, but I wanted to start a thread for the CSULA Fall 2016 nursing program hopefuls. I'm sure we will all have a lot of questions, especially because of the upcoming semester conversion. I have plenty of questions about application deadlines, volunteer hours, TEAS, etc. It will be nice to have a community where we can ask each other questions and offer advice. Eventually we can share stats, and we may even end up in the same cohort!

Please notify the Student Services Office no later than Friday, April 22, 2016 of your acceptance this offer. Your admission confirmation will be sent to you next week.

If you were asked to send an enrollment confirmation deposit (EDC) as proof of intent to register you must do so or you will be unable to register in the fall. For those of you who need to make this deposit, the Fall 2016 transfer ECD deadline for domestic applicants is May 2.

so we have to notify student services of our acceptance of the offer by the 22, and the CONFIRMATION of that action will be sent next week? Also, paying the deposit is a separate thing and due by May 2. So to me that seems like we still have to figure out how to accept our spot?

I think the email being sent next week is a confirmation of your overall acceptance to the school and program. The dates for the email wouldn't add up if you were to accept your offer after the 16th, but they were to send you an email before the 16th verifying your decision to accept since, in that case, you wouldn't have accepted yet.... Does that make sense? Haha

I'm super interested in what was everyone's reactions or like what were you doing when you found out?

I was in my internship at Pasadena and RachMayJ called me to check my email (LOL). Of course after the acceptance from SON, I called family and then I kid you not, my micro professor who helped me get this internship and who's kind of like my mentor walked in the lab and I just ran like a kid and hugged her...aaaaand then I cried haha. Pretty good day though guys!

When I received my email (wait listed), I freaked out. I was sitting at my kitchen table with my boyfriend and was like "Babe... I got the email. I don't want to open it." And he was like, "Open it!" So I started reading it and, let's be real, he was waiting for me to either start crying our jump up with excitement haha. But I was like, "I got wait listed and I'm actually not too disappointed." And he was like, "That's still good! You didn't get denied." And then I told my parents who were super supportive and then we continued eating breakfast and talked about what I'm going to do in the meantime of waiting to see if a spot opens up for me. The end haha

I basically defied Newton's first law of motion: every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of uniform unless an external force is applied to it.

Basically I was up and awake at 3 AM the night before freaking out with you guys and complaining about how unorganized this year was. I woke up at 7 AM to see people getting their university admission letters so I stayed in bed refreshing this thread and my email.

I stayed in bed, texted and woke up my other friends to share my panic and worries with until 12 noon when they sent in the letters.

Just an hour before that, a wave of rejection and waitlist letters were sent out and I knew so many people being rejected. That's when me and my friends formulated that acceptance letters will be sent last (and since we didn't get rejected or waitlisted, we expected to receive acceptance letters).

I got my email and yes I freaked out, but I remained under the blanket. It was raining and cold so my bed felt so warm hahahahah.

Getting into my first quarter in CSULA, I've always imagined that moment when I was supposed to slowly open my mail and find out if I was rejected or accepted but they emailed them this year and I saw the preview of my email where they said "we are pleased" so it ruined my dramatic email-opening moment.

So, yes. I defied Newton's law of motion. An external force (acceptance email) was forced upon me yet I decided to stay underneath my blanket instead of jumping around.

I texted my friends and they picked me up an hour later to eat out and celebrate - my parents still don't know I got accepted and they were downstairs when I received the email. Poor them.

It wasn't the moment I was expecting and it's probably very different than everyone else. But, I enjoyed the warmth of my bed and the sound of the rain - and I realized I needed to enjoy that moment of peace and serenity without stress and worries the next three years has in store me (and for us). I loved it. I'll save my excitement for the orientation and my first day probably because that's when it will feel real - not electronized. (TBH, I wanted a physical mail because I wanted to experience that feeling of accomplishment in paper but oh well)!

It's 2 AM and I'd probably wake up regretting this.

may be slightly off topic! but can anyone who lives in LA or is a continuing student at Cal State LA give me some insight on housing, parking, overall school, etc.

I'm a transfer student from SF State and may end up choosing LA, but am a bit weary of whether or not I want to experience expensive housing & crazy traffic again :facepalm:

I really do wonder what's the deciding factor of who's waitlisted and who's accepted if the cutoff is 24. There seems to be a lot of waitlisted 24's compared to last year..

Seems like they have clinicals first sem now cause Fundamentals it says there's clinical and it's scheduled like 7-1, 2-5pm. I might be wrong though!
