Bringing this one back to life. Does anyone know how transferring from a CCC out of state to nursing works? Do I need to look up schools individually, or is there a site similar to assist.org that includes more schools outside of the state.

I intend on applying to every CSU. Does anyone have recommendations on private nursing schools within California? I have been looking into West Coast University somewhat, and contacted their admissions department for more information. Apparently they have a 33 month program straight out of high school where you end up with a BSN... and considering I've done a fair amount of pre-reqs, if I finish up with this year's, I should be able to finis their BSN program after 18-20 months if I went there after this year. That said, it does seem pricier than other private schools.

So, I just finished summer classes and now have a 3.60 GPA. Does anyone know how the process of CSUs accepting units work? I have read specifically that CSUs accept 70 units from community colleges. However, I will end my journey at my community college with ~78 units. Do they only look at the last 70? Because my first 9 units in my first semester at community college were all B's, which is the main thing that is bringing me down so much. If I can have that no longer in the equation then my GPA would probably jump to a 3.75.

I haven't taken my TEAs yet. I did the calculations, and with my 51.5 units thus far, if I get all A's in my future 33 units, I'll end up with a 3.756 GPA. The only thing is, I don't really understand how units transfer over. I'll be ending my community college time with 84.5 units, and from what I have seen, apparently only 70 semester long units transfer over? I'm not sure how my additional units will play into my GPA.

The biggest reason on why I really want to focus on my BSN, and that alone - is because my family has been putting money into a college fund since I was born. It's at ~100,000 now, and I haven't used any of it in community college since I've been working part time and paying for myself. If I don't use the money for college specifically, then I'm going to apparently incur significant penalties in order to withdraw it, and will also face penalties if I don't use it within the next four years since I've already finished with 2 years of college.

I'm going to try for all A's in my future classes. I have 51.5 units on file and still have another 33 to take - trying to transfer out of my community college within a year by taking 20 units next semester. I really do not want to pursue my ADN because of the amount of time I've already amassed at my community college. I know for a fact that I do want to pursue my BSN eventually no matter what, so I want to examine my options. Does anyone have any recommendations for a Private College that I would have a very strong chance of getting into? I hate to call a school my fall back school, but I do want to see the options I have before me. I've been working on a long list of colleges thus far.

So I managed to find this list: http://ccctransfer.org/sites/default/files/documents/toolboxes/CCC%20Toolbox/Nursing-Grid-Updated%20June-11-2014.pdf But I was wondering if anyone has a more extended list than this? Of nursing schools that include the average GPAs and TEAs scores?

Hey all, So I've decided to switch my major from Biology to Nursing! It's a big step, and I'm glad to finally have some clarity with a specific profession in mind for where I want to go. I am currently about to enter my 3rd (and hopefully last) year at my community college. I wanted to get some community perspective for where I could go, and my chances at ending up at the colleges of my choice. Right now, I am really considering : CSU Long Beach San Diego State University CSU Los Angeles San Francisco State University I have taken 51.5 CSU transferable units at my community college, with a cumulative GPA of 3.592... I have taken Statistics and got a B, Critical Thinking Philosophy and got an A, Math 27 (Precalc and Trig) and got an A, and Chemistry 1A and got a B. I still need to take Microbiology, Sociology, Psychology, Anatomy, Physiology, Speech, and Food/Nutrition. I am wondering on recommendations people have for nursing schools in California, and how realistic my odds are of getting into my picks of schools at a 3.6 GPA basically. I have done lots of googling, but it's hard to find articles specific to schools when it comes to nursing as a major. I also don't really know where to look to find the best schools for nursing... though from what I have seen online, all that seems to really matter is that you get your BSN in the end. Could anyone give me some tips and advice on schools? I really want to see my odds of getting in to the listed schools. I've done some reading on their averages for the nursing students accepted but can only find these averages listed for some of the schools. Is there any school that seems perhaps more realistic for a 3.6 GPA student if these aren't?
