Did anyone else apply to CSULB for Fall 2014? The school app was due last Saturday, and then we have the month of January to submit for the School of Nursing.
Based on previous threads, it looks like we are invited to an interview about a month after the deadline, and the cutoff was ~9.1 points.
Here are my stats so we can see how we stand this year!
Science GPA: 3.58
GE GPA: 3.77
TEAS: 97.3
TEAS Math: 100
I think that works out to about 9.4 points... the average keeps rising each year, so it would be nice to see where we all fall!
Both schools are great! Congrats on acceptance! If you're planning on doing 3 years then it really doesn't matter which school you choose just look at the location maybe and decide which clinical sites you might enjoy more? You cant go wrong with either choice though!
Not yet! I think we should hear in the next week or two about orientation information, but us alternates wont know if we are accepted until like June when the other applicants must either accept or deny their admissions
I was told during the interview that we get to choose whether we want the Basic or Trimester program at orientation. Our preference depends on the spots available. At first I wanted the Trimester because its faster. But after weighing the pros and cons , I think I'm going for the Basic. Trimester BSN program is financially supported through a grant from Long Beach Memorial Medical Center/Miller Children's Hospital which means that all your clinical are at one hospital versus Basic where you get to experience at more than one hospital for clinicals. The instructors also told us that summer sessions are fast and may be too fast for some students to absorbed--plus you only get one week rest after spring semester to begin and another week rest afterwards before fall semester. I have kids so summer seems harsh. Anyone out there choosing the Basic Program? Also, anyone know when we are officially notify which program we are placed in after attending orientation?

I also applied to CSUSM and CSUEB and SJSU and I haven't heard anything from them yet
