I'm so excited, just accepted CSUSM's offer for admission! To respond to the last post, I'm not sure what the conditions are, but they are sending us a welcome pack that will have more info. Guess I'll be seein you on Aug. 5th at the orientation!! Congrats!

Congratulations!!! good luck on your clinicals. I hope next year I'll be posting my good news too.

Sorry for ask. What was your score on the Teas exam and how did you study.

Thanks.

Hi,

No worries on the questions, any advice I have I'll give.

My raw score on the TEAS was a 92%, the overall percentile was 99 for San Marcos.

I went on campus and bought the study guide, although you can also get them online. Make sure to know you're conversions, there's a bunch of those and if you haven't learned them, they definitely need to be memorized. Everything else was pretty much review, but the guide totally helped.

Then I went online and took the practice test, although it helped prepare me for the format of the real test, it was alot easier. The actual test was much more challenging I thought. All in all though, if you've completed all your GE's you should be ready to take the test after a little review.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Congratulations! I got offered admission to the site in Temecula because they said San Marcos was filled. Has anyone else?

doesnt look like anyone has posted on this thread for a while, but I saw it and thought I would add a post.

For Fall 2008 I applied to CSUS and California State University, Chico and got rejected from both. Had a 3.9 GPA, work experience, and an 85.9% on the TEAS. I was 69 on CSUS's wait list and 21st on Chicos. I missed getting into Chico by 7 people...... ;/

I just sent in all my applications for the Spring of '09 and there were 7 schools. CSUS, CSU Chico, CSU Fresno, CSU Stanislaus, CSU Long Beach, CSU San Bernadino, and Humboldt State. I have a 4.0 in my science pre-reqs and a 3.9 overall. I now have 200+ hours of volunteer exp. at Sutters ER, work experience, and am re-taking the TEAS exam this thursay and am hoping for a 90+. So let's hope that with 7 schools I get into a least one! Man I am nervous... I hate waiting!

Mine's complicated...sorta

Did prereq's....parents wanted me to move out, so had to do a LVN program (trade school so no waiting)

Applied to two ADN's twice

got rejection letters both times

(science GPA: 3.45, regular GPA: 3.5, 99% on TEAS)

Applied to BSN once and got in

Then had to leave d/t economy & hubby no longer working (boo!)

so then applied to ADN accelerated LVN to RN

Got in (thank god)

So total: 6

(and I got three months left)

2 nursing programs. 1 ADN and 1 state. Got into the State program rather easily. Turned it down because i did not want to go to school in Fresno. Picked the ADN progream. I guess having my other degree from a UC didn't hurt.
