Stats: I earned my BA in Psychology with a minor in Health Studies. Overall, I had a 3.48 GPA with a 3.8 in the prerequisites that SFSU asks for. I earned a 5 on the GRE Writing. Health-related: I started volunteering at hospitals since high school, but I was not really consistent until college. I listed 2 different hospitals that I volunteered at. I had an internship that was part of a practicum class wherein I decided to find a health-related area to work at. I became a CNA recently too. GRE: I would recommend not studying for any of the other portions asides from writing LOL. That is unless you have another school that will need GRE scores of course. I know you can also just take the writing portion and leave if you know you absolutely won't need the other scores. In terms of actual studying, use the pool of essay prompts available on the official GRE website. Do not try to write out every single prompt, but at least it will give you a general idea of what kind of prompts you could receive during your actual GRE. This is a general format of how I studied (and honestly I did maybe 10 full rounds of this before actually taking the exam): Have someone pick two prompts for you (1 Issue, 1 Argument) at random - or do this yourself and try not to peek at the prompts you haveBrainstorm (aim for less than 8 mins)WriteReviewRepeat Brainstorm, Write, ReviewLook up sample essays online or have someone else who is familiar with GRE essays read it overTips: Overuse transition words/phrases like Furthermore, In additionHave some sort of formula/step-by-step process you follow like a typical 5-body paragraphalways include a rebuttal to possible critiques or counterpoints made!!! even if it is very brief, at least you show the reader that you gave some thought to someone else having an opposing thought to whatever opinion to share - this is especially important in the Issue essaylink to pool of essays: https://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/analytical_writing/issue/pool

Same here! We can finally have an official sense of being in school. Congrats to you and all of the other accepted students!

@Sarahpop Same here! This is what it looks like on my student center. No options. I'm going to call the school of nursing early next week if there's no change or no new email sent out.

@Sarahpop @Ronin_86 Have either of you accepted the offer on SFSU gateway? I haven't seen it on my student portal

Thank you! Congratulations to you as well. Looking forward to meeting you in January. I saw your most recent post & I believe that we got accepted. I called the school of nursing and they said they will be sending out another email in about a week with instructions to actually accept admission and more details. That's the same email I received. I think it's just their preliminary email. I called the school of nursing and they said they will be sending out another one in about a week.

I just received my formal admission email! Has anyone else received theirs?

I also got one and no confirmation. When is your interview?
