CSULB Spring 2016 applicants!

hopefulmurse14 · Jun 28, 2015

I have a good friend who go in For Fall 2015. We are both transfer students from a local JC. She was waitlisted. I'm pretty sure they put anyone on the waitlist regardless of their home school. It just comes down to points from what I understand.

Hopefulmurse- What were both of your points if you don't mind me asking?

I'm am almost sure that the scores posted in the pool statistics page include the alternates accepted.

And in previous threads Ive read that people have called and asked the coordinator and she confirmed that only csulb students can get on the alternates list but who knows :bag:

4.0 GE and pre-reqs. I have just under a 9.3, so I'm taking the TEAS in 2 weeks and again at the end of August. I want to try and shoot for 9.5-9.6 range as this seems like a solid score for obtaining an interview. My friend I mentioned applied with a 9.51. I forgot to ask what # she was on the wait list, but she ended up by getting in. She said something like 20+ alternates were accepted for Fall 2015.

Hello everyone, I'm a little confused on GPA. So the GE GPA counted is only 4 classes (stats, oral communication, college composition, critical thinking) and science GPA is only Anatomy, Physio, Micro, and Chem? I got A's in all those classes, an overall 83.3% on the Teas, and a 96.7% on the math.

I am applying for spring as well.....

I have a 4.0 for my science GPA

My general GPA is a bit complicated to calculate since I transferred from a quarter system to a semester system without finishing English but I think I have a 3.75?

I haven't taken the TEAS yet tho.... I'm taking it next month... I just started studying... Do you guys have any tips? How hard was it? Also are there any physics questions because I never took physics before....

Ps wow all of your scores look amazing!!! You guys are so smart!

Yeah, both your science GPA and General GPA are composed for 4 classes each but your science GPA is worth 4 points while your general GPA is worth 2 points....

For physics, from what I remember, there was only kinetic and potential energy questions. For example, you have a battery powered clock, what type of energy is used. I don't remember exactly how the question was worded but it was chemical energy then kinetic energy. Google examples online because the manual doesn't really help for this section. I found the math to be the easiest. The science wasn't too bad. Don't neglect the studying scientific reasoning section. There were some science questions not covered in the manual. I used this to study https://allnurses.com/teas-exam-help/how-i-passed-804222.html. English and reading is what brought my score down. For the reading section I was running out of time so I had to guess on some of the questions

Hi everyone!

I have a feeling that spring is not going to be as easy to apply to with all of the high scores! I recently took the TEAS and got a 92% overall and 90% on the math portion. I believe my score is a 9.37, but crossing my fingers that I can get into the nursing program!

How were your grades?

took my TEAS a couple weeks ago and got a 90.2 overall and a 96.7 on the math. My science/ gen ed gpa is 4.0, so I think that puts me at a 9.75. im transfering from a CC, so im a bit worried that the university itself will reject me for some reason lol. my CSU gpa is 3.98, so hopefully I'll have a shot and the university and the SON. I'm applying to the university today and I'm gonna mail in my SON app next week once my transcript comes in.

Stephnehme,

I got all A's on my science and general ed prereqs except for a B in Microbiology.

Wow, so far everyone has incredible scores! Makes me even more nervous...
