CSUN ABSn 2011 applicants

Published

I'm sure there's lots of you out there applying to the CSUN 2011 ABSN program. Just wanted to get the conversation rolling for those of us who are in the process. Anyone else think 2 pages is too short for the personal statement?:eek:

Hey there,

I'm applying as well. YES 2 pages is way to short! I was having trouble getting it to 3 for another school I applied to and now I have to condense it even more.

Were you applying to mount st. mary's? I just applied there, and was glad for the 2-3 page option.

Yeah MSM and UCLA are generous with their 3 page option. So I turned in my CSUN app right before the 4:00 deadline yesterday!! Happy to be done with it!

I'm surprised more people haven't responded to your thread.

I agree that two pages is a bit on the short side ... but I have included a lot of info in my resume/CV, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they can have a pretty clear idea of who the heck I am ;-)! Will also be applying to Mount Saint Mary's but for the Fall semester, so that isn't due til March 15th. So happy and excited to finally be applying! Woo-hoo!!

Hi all!

I just got back my CSUN acceptance letter from the university and faxed it in to the ABSN people. I guess we're not gonna hear from the program 'till April? I'm feeling very impatient :/

SDnurse,

I just got my letter from the university as well. Sent it in to the nursing program so now my app is finally complete! We have to wait until April for acceptance but at least we will know sooner if we are going to get interviews or not.

Hey there,

Does anyone know when they will start notifying people about interviews?

Their website states that not all people will be interviewed, so I'm not sure what that really means. When does the program start anyways? It seems that April is kind of late. All I've heard so far is that I'm accepted to the university. I heard CSUN's program is crazy competitive, they only take like 20 students or something. I already got into my first choice school, so I'm going to decline CSUN if I get in, but for some reason I feel like I won't get in.

Congrats on getting into your first choice!! Which school was it?

Hey,

I am currently in CSUN A-BSN... They take 36 people a year. 18 start in the summer and 18 start in the Fall.

They do not interview everyone, because if 300 apply, they might interview about 50, and out of those 50, they will select 36.

Last year we were getting interviews in March, and acceptance letters around April. So there's still a few weeks. Good luck!

Thanks Firefly...knowing the time frame of when we might hear is very helpful. How are you liking the program?
