CSULB NP Program Fall 2020

[nursey2017]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to start a thread for anyone who applied for CSULB for Fall 2020. What specialty did you all apply to, your experience, and stats? Any previous applicants that can shed some light on why they might have gotten accepted/didn't get accepted? Spoke to the graduate admissions coordinator who mentioned that they will be contacting selected applicants in late February to early March for interviews and writing assessment and decisions will be made in April. Good luck to you all! ?

Thank you so much for replying. Such valuable information!! Were the interview questions hard?

I was accepted to PNP, so I can’t speak specifically to the psych one- but I did my group interview with a bunch of the psych nurses. They said they were looking for 3 things-

1- the GPA/ numbers/ academic history.
2- the letter of recommendation for psych specifically. You needed someone -in the psych realm If that’s your history- that says they trust your judgement and would recommend you for the rigors of the course.
3- your history in that field, and personal goal/ what you plan to do with that degree in that field. They also stressed that ED experience alone did not count as psych experience.
hope that helps

What is the GPA, numbers, academic history for those got in? thank you.

Sorry- they don’t say what the average is. Just that they take it into consideration. Best of luck!
