CSUSB Fall 2019 BSN program

Published

It is early, but I thought I would start the discussion now for Cal State San Bernardino's BSN program for fall of 2019 so we all have time to discuss and answer questions before the filing period ends April 2nd, 2019! This is for both the Palm Desert campus program and San Bernardino's main campus.

I am applying to the Palm Desert campus since I am a Riverside county citizen and it is only a few miles from my home :).

  • As of this past filing period and onward, the school no longer considers letters of recommendation or volunteered/paid work experience.
  • At the nursing info session I attended, we were told they are only accepting your first TEAS score. If anyone has heard conflicting information to what I've written above, please let me know!

My current stats:

Pre-requisite G.P.A = 4.0

Overall G.P.A = 3.9

My G.P.A is based on the assumption I get an A in my microbiology class this spring :cry:

-I took three years of Spanish in H.S

-I am taking the TEAS in February and will update my score the second I get my results!

-I applied to CSUSB and will update my admissions result when I get confirmation.

Good luck to everyone!

When I went to the information session they told me you can take the teas as much as you want and they will take the highest?

That's what I recall from the info session as well, but it's weird because most schools only let you take it twice at least three weeks apart?

Hey guys, I'll also be applying to CSUSB's program for Fall 2019

So far here are my stats: (Applying to SB campus)

-Pre-req GPA: 4.0

-GE GPA: 3.9

-Overall TEAS score: 78% (retaking test March 18)

-Three years of Spanish in HS

-Not a San Bernardino County resident

-I have already attended an information session and had written in my notes that the TEAS can be taken multiple times and the highest score will be used towards the application, according to what I heard. This could be wrong but I will call and ask this week and update.

- Does anyone know if not being a San Bernardino Country resident will greatly affect my admission or not?

Also, has anyone looked at the application itself? It's so brief only one page long and literally only asks which campus is preferred, ethnicity, and then a couple other then you sign the app... kinda strange? I'm assuming they will just look at your transcripts for grades and TEAS results?

GOOD LUCK to everyone !? please comment here or message me I'm really curious about the program and would love to know more people applying as well so we can help each other in this process.

So strange! I called the admission's office and they said yes you can take it as many times but, try not to take it multiple times. I let them know that the coordinator who lead our information session worded it weirdly and myself + others heard differently from her. Thank you! I will correct my original post.

I called admission's and let them know myself + others heard our coordinator differently the day of our info session but the woman on the phone confirmed yes, take it as many times. She did warn me that they see all attempts and to keep the attempts taken low (like I'm trying to take it more than once or something haha).

I apparently can't edit my post without upgrading my membership! I just received my acceptance to CSUSB on Sunday so yay, one thing checked off. I am taking the TEAS March 21st. I lost track of time and didn't study enough so I decided to take it in M instead of February.

Overall GPA: 3.7

Prereq GPA: 4.0

Not Bilingual

Have any of you already been accepted into CSUSB as a pre-nursing student? I am still awaiting my acceptance letter.

I have not received admittance as a pre-nursing student yet either. Have they verified that they received your transcripts? I think the reason mine is taking long is because I turned my transcripts in just in time.

I received my acceptance letter into CSUSB pre-nursing via email Sunday, February 17th! I did submit my transcripts pretty early, though.
