CSUSM ABSN Fall 2019

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi everyone! I've been following a lot of the previous threads for CSUSM's ABSN program. I'm finally ready to apply for the Fall 2019 semester, so I figured I should start this thread and talk to the rest of you who are in the same boat! :) I currently just have to take the TEAS, which I'm signed up to take next week! Has anyone already submitted their apps yet?

@futurernmelne i saw in another thread that they are now saying 6-8 weeks because they are so busy :( i submitted my app in December but they only received my last set of transcripts yesterday so I'm in for a long wait lol...

ahhh so long! :( I submitted my app last week and as of today all my transcripts have been received and it says "complete" with no to-do's. So I guess my 6-8 weeks starts now lol. I'm already growing impatient hahaha...

That was me who posted that comment! ? I called Extended Learning about a week ago and a woman quoted me 6-8 weeks when ALL transcripts are in. I was a little antsy and emailed two counselors yesterday and they responded that my application was now assigned to a counselor to be evaluated and it should take 4-8 weeks. To be honest, the answers I have gotten are wishy-washy but I'm hoping it's 4-8 weeks and not the 6-8 weeks the woman on the phone quoted me! I was hoping to actually get into the summer cohort but time will tell :(

As a timeline, my application was listed as complete with no to-do's on 12/20; however my final transcripts were not received until 1/16. I'm assuming I should receive my evaluation in about 2-4 weeks, however, one of the counselors was on vacation until 1/28... So I am really not sure when I will receive an evaluation. I'll definitely update when I receive it though!

Thanks for the info! That's helpful! Did you call and ask Extended Learning if your final transcript was received? My app was just listed as "complete" today, but I'm wondering if they actually have ALL of my transcripts. Maybe I should just call to confirm?

When I sent my final transcripts, I emailed Extended Learning on 1/14 to update them and a counselor replied that it will take "about two weeks" for my schools to send the transcripts and for them to upload my transcripts into their database.

I called on 1/17 just to ask when I should receive an evaluation and this was when I was quoted 6-8 weeks. I waited exactly two weeks (1/28) and emailed the same counselor yesterday and she then quoted me 4-8 weeks.

What I found weird was that my application was listed as complete back in December but the counselor emailed me yesterday saying that my application is "now in a completed status." So I am totally confused as to what stage my application is in... But yes, I would definitely call to confirm to see if they received your final transcripts. I believe I saw on a previous forum that a person's transcripts were not received or "lost" and this set them back about two weeks, if I can remember correctly!

Please update with any information! I feel like I've been annoying the counselors lately with my emails haha!

ohhh okay, I'm definitely going to call them tomorrow morning and confirm. I'll ask about when to expect an evaluation too. And yes! I'll make sure to update you and everyone on here with any information!

Hey everyone! So I just called extended learning this morning and the woman on the phone confirmed that my all of transcripts have been received and my application has been assigned to an advisor. She said that I should receive an evaluation email within 4-6 weeks. So hopefully the wait isn’t that long for those of you that have everything in and complete too!

Specializes in ICU.

The sooner you apply, the faster you'll get your evaluation. Since those of you who have already applied are well before the priority deadline, you should get them back quicker. As time goes on and more and more people apply, things slow down.

I'm half way through the program, let me know if you have any questions.

@WAboundSN Thanks for the info and for offering to answer questions!

Since you are not finished with the program, I understand if you cannot fully answer my question, but I'm just wondering how well you feel the program is preparing you for the workforce and how you feel your job prospects upon graduating will be. My #1 goal is to stay in the San Diego area after graduating and work in a large hospital... but I know the job market is very competitive for new grads. Any insight you have would be very appreciated!

Hey everyone! I received my evaluation today and got 44 points! I'm hoping I'll be able to get into the summer cohort but just wanted to update you all who are still waiting. I was surprised to see that they were able to accept my nutrition class, so it looks like I will only need two GE classes my first semester.

My evaluation took about 2.5 weeks since my final transcripts were received. Good luck everyone!!!
