CSULB Fall 2014

Hi everyone. Check your email. I just got accepted!!! :)

Wow, that was a lot quicker than 3-4 weeks! :) Congrats everyone!

Just got an e-mail...I got my contingency acceptance letter too. Sweetness. I'm totally celebrating this weekend.

St14,

I am disappointed. I'm sure we can agree that being denied for anything is never pleasant....lol

The talk with the director did make me feel much better about only being delayed 12 weeks in my goal plans.

However, contrary to what you stated, from my experience, more schools DO allow you to apply w/ a course IP than do not. And, they simply ask that you turn in the grades when posted...

I was not bashing, just expressing an opinion that I still stand behind. With top schools Universities such as UCLA and USC not penalizing, why would LB decide to do so? Or why would they make the weight on that IP course allow a top applicant to be disqualified. The ranking system is flawed.

Just as you have to, this makes student have unnecessary gaps in their college progress, which has proven to have negative effects on overall progress and college students returning rates...

Just my opinion, and I don't think I am alone on this. And, i definitely do not apologize for it...

So, I'll take a little vacation and see you all in the spring... I know i will get an 'A' because,as well as getting paid to tutor physio, bio, anatomy, and chemistry at my college, I also assist with the micro bio tutoring. I currently have 2 100% exams and 4 100% quizzes...

I'm not psychic, but I am definitely confident in my A grade ...

:)

I got accepted as well! Congrats to everyone! For those who did not get in, don't give up!!

Now i will be accepted to my other applied school, csula (because they dont penalize for in progress class)

I know if i apply for spring @ LB i will make it, but that means i have to turn down csula... Crappy decisions.

Why would you turn down Cal State LA over CSULB? Based on national ranking of nursing programs, CSULA ranks a lot higher than CSULB. Furthermore, wasn't CSULA your first choice? Also, you live about 5 minutes away from CSULA. Cost-wise, CSULA and CSULB are probably very similar. For me, my biggest criteria were cost and distance. I just wanted to get into a school that was close and relatively inexpensive. CSULB is about 5 minutes from my home...and is a state college, so it was the natural for me to want to get into CSULB nursing program. Had I lived close to CSULA, I would have wanted to go there instead. Different strokes, I suppose.

Also, if you apply for the CSULB 'spring '15...you won't necessarily have to turn down your acceptance to CSULA. I believe the acceptance into CSULB spring term is provided during the summer. So if you find out you got into CSULB for spring...then there's still time to turn down CSULA before their Fall '14 term starts.

Ranking means little to me.. Either BSN degree spends the same way...

Yes CSULA is closer. But I was trying to get away from the +/- grading system... I can't stand the thought of loosing my 4.0 GPA for an A-... The masters program I plan to attend are very competitive..

Furthermore, the LA program is 3 years, LB can be done in 2. That's a huge plus...

LB is a little drive (30 minutes) but my motorcycle get me places pretty quick, and traffic is not an issue...

I will apply for spring at LB, and keep my options open...

Wow I got accepted too, I am so happy.

Got alternate. When do we find out our list position?

I'm in! Congrats everyone!

Kpascaul.. same here. I think we will know once we get the letter in the mail, Im pretty sure they tell us which number we are.

I wonder how big the alternate list is. Were all the interviewees either accepted or alternated?
