need advice on applying to CSU (LB/LA) and other CSU nursing programs

Published

So right now I'm in my 3rd semester of junior college and still need to take anatomy, physio, and microbio which are pretty much pre reqs for most csu and other nursing programs i think.

What I'm wondering is, can i apply and transfer to a CSU to finish those classes there and then apply for the nursing program when I'm done to that school I transfer too? And if so, would this help my chances of getting in because I went or am going to that school? And also if I wanted to apply to finish those classes at like CSULB what major would I apply as?

Also I really want to do this for UCI because a person from the UCI nursing school even messaged me and said I could apply as a bio major and then apply to nursing program when my prereqs are done but i think that might be harder to do?

I'm pretty confused. Can you apply to any school as a bio major and take classes that you need for the nursing program and then apply for the nursing program? Or would they force you to take bio major related classes only?

I know I could just stay at my junior college and finish my prereqs here but I really want to experience the college life and I'm pretty sad about missing out on freshmen year at an actual college with dorms and stuff because people always talk about how much fun it is and how many new people they meet :crying2:

so ya i really want to just to go UCI or CSULB to finish physio and microbio (I'll have taken anat next semester) and then apply to nursing. Or can you apply to nursing program w/o finishing the prereqs?

i would stay put in a community college and finish ur prereqs there. most CSU's are not taking any applicants until fall 2010 anyways, atleast my school, CSULA isn't. if you transfer now, you may not get accepted to that particular school. being at the school already doesn't help your chances i don't think, they go based on grades, teas scores, etc. unless you are living in dorms there is no difference to the "college life" in my opinion. save yourself the cash and finish ur prereqs where you are at and get the best grades possible.

I was planning on transferring or applying for the fall 2010 semester because ya i heard about the no csu's taking spring applicants =( ya part of me wants to stay here where its like easier but the other part really really wants to go to an actual college and experience what everyone else is experiencing. i feel like i'm really missing out on the whole actual college experience =(
