CSULB Fall 2012 BSN

lucyc66 · Jan 22, 2012

My stats:

Anatomy: A

Micro: A

Chem:A

Physio: C (In progress)

Science gpa: 3.47

Eng 1: A

Eng 3: B

Speech: B

Math: A

GE gpa: 3.5

TEAS Math: 100

TEAS Overall: 92.7

Which puts me at 9.07 (unless i miscalculated).

I think my chances of getting in are quite slim (especially as a transfer), but I figured if we get 2 tries I might as well apply. My hope is that the new rule will lower the average so that I might actually stand a chance.

When I calculated you score I got, 9.31, but then again I was using CSULB's units to calculate your GPA, so maybe that's why it was different.

lucyc66 · Jan 23, 2012

My units are these:

eng 1:4

eng 3: 4

speech: 3

math: 3

Anatomy: 4

micro: 5

chem: 5

physio: 5

Weird that anatomy is 4 units and physiology is 5 units..

You calculated your score correctly then. :)

I was surprised to see how rude some of the employees answering the phone calls to the school of nursing are .. The coordinator contacted me about my Anatomy and Physiology courses because I took them elsewhere, yet they are on the Science equivalency list so I figured the school of nursing would take them. So she asked me to bring syllabi from the courses to her office but didn't leave a contact number. I called the School of Nursing and asked if she could transfer me to the coordinator (I stated her name), and at first she made me wait 5 minutes on hold when I can hear her laughing and talking to someone else in the background, then she all of a sudden remembered I was on the line and said no I cannot I can have a dashboard full of something something something (?) some random gibberish :confused: and I said, "...okay.. can you type in this extension" and she just said very fast "No call her at _____ this number bye." As she was saying bye I said "can you repeat that please" and she just hung up, knowing I was still there. I thought this very rude .. sort of upset at how my call was handled. :down:

Wow that's terrible! She sounds very unprofessional. Did you get the name of the person you talked to?

If your A&P course was on the science equivalency list, why would they need to check? That's so strange. Maybe you should to to them face-to-face.

I also didn't know they were reviewing applications already. I need to get mine in ASAP.

I hope everyone is enjoying their first day of the spring semester. Cheers to a great semester!

DarkBluePhoenix · Jan 23, 2012

ugh how rude!

wow too bad you couldnt file a compliant or something. They all are very rude around application time.

I would call again later on or just talk to someone in the office face to face

sorry this happened to you!

Spiffyness · Jan 23, 2012

Unfortunately I didn't get her name, hopefully the staff doesn't answer all calls this way! And I cleared up the situation by emailing the coordinator about how my course was on the science equivalency list, and she withdrew her request for me to submit syllabi for the courses. I just wish I could have talked to her because sometimes it's better to clear these kind of things up over the phone than by email because some nursing programs have multiple people that handle a single email address. Worst thing is to have one person say one thing, and another person saying something else. But yeah, I guess this means they are already looking at the applications! Good luck with your spring semester!

DarkBluePhoenix · Jan 24, 2012

Wow already viewing apps? Wonder how many are applying this semester. This is the harder semester to get in. If they are looking this closely I might as well not apply lol. Nah I will apply anyway

Spiffyness · Jan 24, 2012

Just apply anyway! You already spent the $55. They are probably inputting the data into the computer as they go so that they aren't overwhelmed in the very end.

Well at least it got sorted out in the end.
