hi! thanks for sharing your stats and congratulations on starting nursing school!! I'm applying this cycle, and I was wondering if the essay was part of your initial application due 11/30? I'm not seeing an essay requirement in Cal State Apply or the CSUF ABSN page (https://nursing.fullerton.edu/programs/acceleratedbsn/appprocess.html), but thought it was strange that there would be no essay (like statement of purpose) required. I'm not sure if I'm completely overlooking this and came across your post.
