CSUSM ABSN Summer 2019

Vanam · Dec 8, 2018

Hi @channel17 !

I submitted my application on the 29th but my waiting for one transcript from CSUS to process. I was reading the forums from the past that you get your evaluation email around end of December and the acceptance notification around end of January! I'm assuming the timeline is about the same for 2019. It is also my first time applying. I didn't do so well on my TEAS, but I submitted my application anyways. According to the point system, my points are pretty low... but I'm praying that I'll have a slight chance of still getting in. I think the summer cohort isn't as competitive as the others. The allnurses forum for the summer definitely has not been as active as the previous cohorts. If you don't mind me asking, how many points do you think you're going to get or what's the breakdown of your GPA + TEAS? I'm trying to get an idea if I even have a chance of being admitted.

Thank you. Good luck!

Hi @Vanam!

I'm hoping the timeline is the same as well as the anticipation is killing me! I find myself reading the same forums over and over again to get a better understanding of my chances of getting in. I agree with you that the Summer cohort is probably less competitive than the others, however I believe this might be true more so for the Temecula cohorts. I had a friend who was accepted into the Fall 2018 cohort and she assured me a number of students in her cohort got in with points below 30. I'm hoping we have a chance with how dead our cohort is looking (forum activity wise). Here is an estimate of my points (worst case scenario). I took multiple variations of the same course so I'm hopinng my official evaluation is a little higher.

Pre-Nursing GPA: 3.38 = 13

Last 60 Units GPA: 3.7 = 9

TEAS Score: 85% = 8

Total Points = 30

Hope this helps!

Thank you for getting back to me! I've been doing the same. I think I read every post from 2018: spring, summer, and fall! Since you submitted your application around the same time I did, has all of your transcripts processed yet? I keep checking the student center and I'm still waiting for 1 to go through. I hope this doesn't affect my chances of getting in.

Thank you for sharing your points! I'm a little under 30... but I think I still have a chance. Good luck to the both of us!

No problem! Yeah I'm not a fan of the waiting game haha. Yes all my transcripts have processed. I sent all of them electronically the same day I submitted my application. Two days later, Dec. 1st all of my transcripts were delivered and my application status changed to "Completed".

I think if your points are 27-30 you probably have a chance!
