Is Anyone Applying For Or Has Applied For Csu Chico State Nursing Program???

[JYCVTY]

Is anyone applying for or has applied for California State University, Chico State's nursing program? I'm planning on applying for spring 08 and just wanted to know what the cut off points were. I'm so nervous about the whole point system. I've calculated/estimated my total points and it seems like I should be somewhere in between 83-85/100 points. Does anyone know if that's good enough? I highly doubt that's good enough to get me in. I'm just sooooo stress out about never getting in a nursing program soon.

Thanks for the website Future_er_rn!:) Oh what I meant by my question was, when u applied for the nursing prog for the following semester did u get accepted by applying only one time?

[FUTURE_ER_RN]

Yes, I did. I applied for the Fall 08 semester and didn't get in and then re-applied for the Spring 09 semester and got in. I did however get 200+ volunteer hours and I re-took my Teas exam so I got more points the second that time I applied. Hope this helps!

[prettymaria]

yes it helps! thank u!:) are u in chico right now or humboldt? hows it going so far? hope ur liking it that its not too hard or anything..

[FUTURE_ER_RN]

I am in Chico. I am liking the classes but since its the first semester its not that exciting yet. I still kinda feel like I am taking more pre-reqs just because we haven't started clinical's or skills labs yet. But you gotta start somewhere I guess! Other than my two nursing classes I am taking two upper division GE classes for the major so I am still keeping busy none-the-less! Excited about next semester though for sure. :)

Wow! Im so happy for you, your making me excited. lol. I hope I get in too!

Ok so I have been following this thread. Did you 2 move in together??

[FUTURE_ER_RN]

we did..... unfortunately, my roommate has decided to leave for the summer and so now I am back to finding a roommate..... So any fellow Chico nursing students looking for a roommate, I have a free room! heh

[prettymaria]

hey future er rn, I was just wondering if you can give me some pointers on how to get in? like, what do u think I should at least get on my tease test? and do have to get all A's? I have a B in stats and right now Im taking chem, I have an A in there right now for my average.

[FUTURE_ER_RN]

well, I got a 89.5% on my Teas, had a 3.8 GPA with A's in every science course and co-req class except stats, and I got 2 points for having 200+ hours of community service and 1 point for work exp. Chico only bases your grades on 2 sciences and 2 GE classes so as long as you have 2 A's in science courses and 2 A's in GE classes then you should be fine. And I would get at least an 89+% on your Teas exam and do community service if you haven't already.

[prettymaria]

wow! that helps alot, thnx for the prompt response! :yeah:Does your gpa matter? I know its only 2.5 just to apply.

Thats to bad, is it permanent or just until fall semester starts up again? That is cool how it happened, and reading it here.

I don't remember the posters name, I think lighthouse something, but I am curious if they ever got in as well. LOL

[FUTURE_ER_RN]

I am not 100% sure if they look at your gpa... I know you only need a 2.5 to be able to apply and they only take 4 of your highest grades so I'm not real sure.. I mean you should still try and get a high gpa just in case, but as far as getting in as long as you have 4 A's that's probably all you need. :)
