Hey guys. was just wondering if any of you can clear out some of the questions i have regarding the nursing program for the spring 2012 at CSULB.
STATS:
science gpa 3.23
foundation/ge: 4.0
individual: 96.7
math:100
i am a student at CSULB and i currently have a 9.1 out of the 10 nursing point to get into the program. i have been reading quite a few threads from this site and cant help but notice how most of you have a 9.3-9.6 point scale and im getting pretty nervous now. Knowing that CSULB only takes 90 students per semester, are my chances of getting into the program high? i know that my science gpa is not that impressive but taking those classes at csulb (despite what other people say) are more challenging.
so my questions include..
1. Do they look at our POINTS collectively or our scores in separate categories (science gpa, teas, foundations, etc) as basis for admission?
2. Are they taking transfers for Spring 2012?
3. Do they tell you if you are an alternate during the interview?
4. Since i am officially on educational leave for Fall, i was thinking if i volunteered at a hospital, would that somehow be like an incentive (or more like an extra credit) for boosting up my chances?
Eek, I'm sorry guys. :/ Yeah I'd probably call and make sure they know your group didn't have a functioning video! That's scary I hope it doesn't happen to me tomorrow, like we need one more thing to stress over!!! LOL. How many people were in your interview group?
There were 6 people in my group. Yeah, I think I'm going to call tomorrow and ask. I hope they cut us some slack ( hahaha. My friend said the video worked for her group and she went right after my appointment. Good luck!
did you go to the 8am monday interview? cus i was there and they did not show us the video. succckkks so bad i think i did horrible on the writing part too
I was at the Monday 10 am interview and the lady played a video on catching acold. I couldn't pay attention for the first 10 seconds of the video because i was sitting by the projector and the machine made some noises as she was launched the video that distracted me and i guess she was trying to rewind it because she realized that she launched to early but couldn't so i was so focus on what she was doing by the time I realize she couldn't rewind it, I missed the first 10 seconds of the video. So I had a hard time writing the first part of the essay about what are the common beliefs of catching a cold so I made up an answer from what i knew and I hope that won't affect my acceptance to the program.

Wow, it sounds like we had the same written portion but the Tuesday 1pm group (and I'm guessing other Tuesday interviewees) didn't have a video to go off of. We were writing straight from our own knowledge. Hopefully, they just want to know how well we can communicate in our writing and they aren't judging us too strictly on content.
That's great! There is another big thread with a bunch of people on it, search CSULB Spring 2012! I have not gotten an email, but thankfully I was accepted into CSUSB's program for Winter 2012! :-). It's closer to home so was my first choice anyway hehe.
