CSUSB Fall 2012 Hopefuls

U.S.A. California

Published

Hey everyone!

Well we made it mighty far and now we are done with pre reqs and on to applying!

I am applying to the 2012 cohort and would like to invite everyone else that is applying to post here for any questions, concerns or comments!

Well I am about to put in my application. So far I have all pre reqs done, pending algebra this winter intersession. My Teas test is done, my letters of rec are on their way and basically all I am waiting for is final transcripts!

Good luck to everyone who applied

Let the wait begin!

@firesurf523 Welcome to the thread! I think you have competitive scores. By July (when we find out about admissions) most people will have already officially accepted to go to another university. Since most people apply to more than 1 college, CSUSB is kinda a back up school for those who live outside of the SB area. I don't really understand why that box was there also (for experience) if they don't require proof. But I think you will get in :) Did you apply anywhere else?

Thank you! I only applied to CSUSB. I applied to Cal State Fullerton but couldn't even get in the college, so that's out. My plan is that if I don't get into CSUSB in Fall or Winter, I will just finish my B.S. as a Health Science major... then I would apply to some of the entry level M.S.N.'s or second bachelor's programs (like Concordia) and go that route.

Your stats are really good too! Great job on the TEAS. I thought it was pretty hard.

Hey there! Nice to meet you!

I actually just got two emails from CSUSB. One was last week regarding conditional acceptance and the other is an incomplete admissions application. Huh. Oh well. I just wish they would let us know sooner! July is very far away, so hopefully a lot of students choose to go somewhere else. I wonder if they make a giant alternates list for those reasons.

Anyway, your stats are really good. Seems like its either too early for people to post or that many aren't applying to their program? Either way, I hope we get in.

Anyone get the email regarding acceptance to the university and deposit is due May 1st?

I am wondering why we should pay the deposit if we don't know if we are in the program yet?

Anyone know what we do? I am going to call tomorrow

did you apply for fall? I got admitted for this spring and I start my first day at CSUSB next week, for their spring semester...when I got my acceptance to the university I didn't have to pay a deposit nor did they ask for a deposit. I think you should call them just to make sure.

I have transfered before to the CSUs. This isnt new. They only do it for fall admission, I believe. the money goes toward your tuition anyway. I am wondering what to do seeing as if I may not get in anyway...

oh I see, hmm, I think you shouldn't put in the deposit just yet, cause that would be a waste of money if you don't get it. Have u heard from any other nursing schools you have applied to?

I got an interview to CSULB but I doubt I will get in. I barely made the interview list, let alone get in. That is my thoughts anyway. If I don't get into CSULB (more that likely) I would prefer to get into CSUSB. It may be far but its program is good and it is opposite of traffic to me. Hopefully since they let us know so late that a lot of people drop their acceptance.

Aww, well I hope you get into a program! I'm sure you will. I hope everybody gets into a program actually. Everyone seems really competitive so I guess we'll just have to wait till July, which seems like forever from now. My friend went to the CSULB interview as well!

Hello everyone!

I have also applied for the Fall 2012 Nursing Program, along with my girlfriend. Like most of you, we were very confused about how the program awards points towards the application process. We actually found out when we went to the transfer day that CSUSB put on a few weeks back. According to the woman who gave the presentation for the nursing session, this is how the points are awarded.

Prerequisite GPA: 30 points

TEAS Score: 15 points

Group Advising Session: 1 point

Bilingual Proficiency: 1 point

Letters of Recommendation: 2 points

County of Residence: 5 points

Total Points Possible: 54 points

So, based upon that, I made a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel that does a decent job of calculating how many points you'll receive based upon the above scale. I can email it to anyone if you would like it. Just send me a PM with your email. Also, I don't know how the points are given for residency, so if you don't live in San Bernardino or Riverside Counties, the spreadsheet will give you 0 points.

Also, I saw there was some question as to whether or not community service/healthcare experience adds points. From what we were told during the presentation on the transfer day, there are NO additional points awarded for community service/healthcare experience but there may be in the future.

Finally, for the bilingual proficiency, we were told that you have to have completed an intermediate level in college, have completed at least 3 years in high school, or have a letter from someone like an employer, clergy member, etc. stating that you are bilingual.

That all being said, I'd like to share my stats with you. I won't list my girlfriends stats, since I do not have her permission, but she is about on par with everyone who has posted so far.

My Stats:

Prerequisite GPA: 4.0 (Pending completion of Microbiology in June; current 98.8% in the class)

TEAS Score: 91.3%

Attended the advising session

Bilingual Proficiency

Two letters of recommendation

Living in S.B County.

If my calculator is accurate, I should have 52.7 out of 54 points.

I'm almost positive that I'll get in, but I'm very pessimistic. I have an unfounded fear that they'll deny me for some stupid reason, even though everything looks good and I'll have a squeaky clean background check.

Anyways, best of luck to all of us and I really hope to meet some of you in person this fall!!! :D

You are for sure going to get in! How many points would I have if I have Pre-req GPA: 4.0TEAS: 88.7%Letter of Rec (2)Bilingual (3 yr high school)No advising attendance/No resident of SB areaGosh 5 Pts for being in the area? You can do poorly on the teas or have a low GPA but live in the area and have the same chance of a 4.0 student who doesn't live in San bernardino! Csusb is my last choice though, but good luck to all! :)

Based upon my spreadsheet, which is NO way definitive, you'd have 46.3 points. From the averages they gave us at the transfer session, the average person ADMITTED to the program in Fall 2011 got a 3.61 GPA in the Pre-reqs and a TEAS score of 82%. If you assume that they got max points for EVERYTHING else. That would give them a maximum score of 48.3 points. Like I said before though, my calculator doesn't add in residency points for other counties, since I don't know how they may or may not be added.
