I found out that someone with a 9.8 impact score didn't receive an email on Friday. I hope that means there's a chance a 2nd batch of emails are being sent today...

 

Same here. My impaction is 9.738 but I did not receive an invite. Maybe because I am a transfer and I only took a general chem at my school. But the person with 9.8 score took the right chem.

as long as the chem transfers it should still count. my impaction isn't as high as yours but someone with a lower score than mine also got in. I'm hoping we'll get an email within the next few hours.

The way they explain it on the website is very confusing to me. You either need to have Chem 140 OR a general, inorganic, organic, biochem, or integrated with lab. For example, I took Chem 1A from my school but maybe I was supposed to take a general chem in series (like 1A & 1B). I sent an email about this on Friday but still no response from them...

Anyone know if second bachelor applicants get invited to the exercise as well, or just undergrads. Because self-applicant still says they sent my application to the nursing department for further reviewing, but I didn't get an invite email when everyone else did ?

I think it's different! I'm sure you'll get a response soon.

Im 2nd Bachelors too and didn't get one! But I did get the further review email !! I think we're okay for now, they have different ways to decide for us! Im hoping they look at overall school standing and such. Good luck!

so if an email was received, we are potentially closer to being accepted into the program, but if an email was not received you were basically rejected? is that correct?

I recently graduated from the BSN program at CSULB. I'm from cohort 0823T In order for you to be considered for the program, you must receive an invite to the communication exercise. If you did not receive an email inviting you, you are not being considered for the program. The only people that will be waitlisted are the people that didn't make the cut after the communications exercise.  They typically invite 120 candidates to the communications exercise of those approximately 80 candidates will be sent acceptance letters. Of the remaining 40 some will be waitlisted, and the rest will be rejected.  They send out the invites to the communications exercise all at once.

Hi OMG congrats!! how did you like the program and how prepared did you feel for the NCLEX? also if you can remember how were the interview questions, I've been trying to prep the best I can.

Thank you. As for the NCLEX, the program prepares you well. I took it five weeks after graduating and passed in 85. At first you will hate the exams, but those are what will prepare you for the licensure exam.  As for the communications exercise they will separate everyone into groups and ask each person one question.  They aren't difficult questions so I wouldn't really worry about practicing for those. They may be a something as simple as how would you define integrity.  There is also a written exercise.  This one is important. Essentially, you must be able to quickly articulate and write a few paragraphs regarding the information given in the video. I believe they give you 10 minutes to write.

Ahh congrats!! Getting in CSULB is a dream!! Do you know how they go about selecting the 2nd bachelors candidates? I feel like theres been so little info given to us for that pool and this is my top choice, for academic and financial reasons!
