CSUSM ABSN Summer 2021

Published

Anyone planning on applying to CSUSM's ABSN for Summer of 2021? I know it's early, but their priority deadline is Septmber 30th, 2020. I was hoping we could consolidate questions/info on this thread as we go along.

I have one more prereq to go (anatomy this Summer) before my app is complete. Where is everyone else at in the process?

I'm indecisive between APU, CSUSM and an ADN. How do you all plan on choosing of you get into both?  Or all 3 LOL

I'm leaning more towards APU even though it's so much more expensive because once you pass the NCLEX, you can work as an RN and do your post-licensure as part of the program to become an NP.  I feel like it saves a lot of time and headaches of not having to apply again for an NP Program.  

But I'll be happy to get into any program at this point! ?

I hear ya!  The thought of reapplying and jumping through new hoops for graduate NP school sounds unpleasant.  I only hear great things of APU also. I'm also considering APU 2+2 program. I just want to get in somewhere. I hope future employers have loan forgiveness LOL

Should I be worried if I haven't gotten my evaluation back yet? I'm anxiously waiting

When did you send it in? Mine took 6 weeks down to the day ? which makes me wonder how long we’ll have to wait for admission emails/letters.

I'm not sure ? I submitted my application on 8/3 and received my evaluation on 10/1. Has it been that many weeks since you've submitted your app?

Wow! I am still waiting on mine but I had to submit my final transcripts when the application was due as a class had just finished.

Is anyone having trouble sending transcripts? Mine were ordered on 9/29 and sent out on 10/7 and they still  have not been received by the CSUSM. I'm so nervous I won't be considered for Spring 2021 because of this. Unfortunately, Pierce College only sends them by mail ?

I finally got my eval! It came 4 weeks after I submitted. I got a 40, I hope that's competitive enough! I wonder if this cohort is going to be more competitive because I think Fall 2020(?) / Spring 2021(?) applicants are being pushed back?

Do you mind sharing when your transcripts got there? Also, congratulations! 40 is very competitive

40 is great! My friend got into her cohort with 40 and it was the most competitive cohort they’ve had

Anyone know when decisions will start coming out?

At this point who knows, because some people are just now getting their evaluations back. I’m guessing once they’re through all the evaluations and everyone has points assigned to them.
