SON = School of Nursing

Yeah I did apply to CSULA, also waiting to hear from SFSU. Darkblue, you've applied to csula as well, right??

DarkBluePhoenix · Apr 7, 2012

Yes I mean to reply to what a SoN is...but someone beat me to it!

And I applied to CSULA too. But looking at everyone's scores, no matter what school, leaves me feeling rather out. Maybe CSUSB will take me? Hopefully...

SON = School of Nursing

Haha, I knew that!

Since most of you guys are on spring break now, I hope you all have a great, stress-free one.

Also, Happy Easter for those that celebrate it!

Happy Easter everyone!

Well I know I am kinda late, but that is cause I worked the whole weekend. Thank God I am off for a few days!

I hope we find out really soon!

Yeah, they said around a month right? So maybe sometime this week...

DarkBluePhoenix · Apr 10, 2012

Yes, I believe they said a month. My thing is, again, we are already ranked. That was one of the first things they said in the actual interview. So why do they need a month? To stare at our rankings or something? I dont understand it.

Well, I had some downtime last night between ER admits and I was checking out the fall 2011 thread to see around when they heard back. Well that was bad because of two reasons, one of which because CSULB only took 25 transfers and had to interview previous applicants so that took a couple weeks longer. Secondly, it is making me think they are going to pull those shinaniggins again!

That worries me because not only does my score suck the big one but also because I am a transfer. Maybe that is why they are taking long? Gosh, I feel like the only one so anxious! And watch I will be one of the first ones to get my alternate letter! Ha! Talk about my typical luck!

I hope we find out really soon! But part of me already knows what I am.....

Oh and about the budget issue.

My opinion is that I would rather being paying more for an education then having no education at all. Like instead of lowering the number of incoming freshmens or transfers or limiting the admitted nursing students from 90 to 80. I would rather the tuition goes up. I would prefer a much more educated group of future workers.

Maybe that is just me.

Oh jesus, I hope they don't pull crap like that again. Top 25 transfers and interviewing previous applicants?! So unfair Crossing my fingers for the best! Bah! They need to tell us already!

CluelessNursingGuy · Apr 10, 2012

Dark, calm down, haha! I do agree with you on it being quite stupid to wait this long since they already established our rankings months ago! But decisions will be out soon enough. No more stressing out until then. We waited this long, what's another week or so, right?

As far as the budget issue go, I'm definitely against raising tuition unless absolutely necessary. CSU education was meant to be affordable. That is why they were established in the first place-- to provide a good education at affordable costs. I believe they need to cut wages, especially from the chancellors who make way too damn much!!! Our education shouldn't suffer nor should we pay more if our money is not going to our actual education and instead to just pay for CSU's high wages. That's just my view on it though.

Clueless: I am trying to! Even with two jobs and taking a few units and i am like still not busy enough! Ugh...

THE PRESSURE!

As for the raising tuition. I meant that as a last resort vs limiting students getting into school. OF course the stupid chancellors and board members get paid too much! Its ridiculous. I am just sick of them cutting students in and out of school. If they keep doing it, then it will be like the old days. When only a select few got an education. Hopefully the economy will brighten up by then!

Cali: Yessss I dont want that again. Especially because they are taking too long telling us, even though we are ranked.... (?)

Anyone check the nursing office recently!?

Problem is I am like the most impatient person in the universe (or close to it) but what happens is when I am this impatient, I normally wont get whatever I am waiting for anyway. Typical.....I should learn my lesson and be more patient!
