Thanks for the update on Sac State, rafaeia. That's great to hear that the program is open again for fall. I'll look into it. Here is what the language department responded to me: "For Nursing, you...
Hi Nurseinthemaking20, I'm sorry your Science score didn't come out better. I got a 94 overall but Science was my lowest area, which really surprised me. I wish I had a suggestion for you but, like...
Hi rafaeia, I was going to apply to Sac State too and it was one of my top choices, but then they closed the Traditional BSN to everyone who wasn't already a Sac state student. Are you a Sac State...
Hi everyone, It was exciting and exhausting (at least for me) having our interviews. Overall, I was really struck by what a great group of people MEPNs are, both the current ones and the applicant...
Hi Nurseinthemaking20, Gosh, I'm so sorry. I lost track of this thread! (And just re-discovered it.) I guess I need to figure out how to get updates to alert me. Hm. Anyway, I'm guessing you've long...
Hi folks, I'm jittery with nerves but looking forward to the interviews. I am going with a suit after reading last year's posts. Bottom line, I think you should wear what makes you feel most...
Thanks for your response, Alisonisayoshi. I really do think it's a great idea to support local area students, and I'm glad SSU has these programs. I just wish I (still) lived closer. I actually grew...
What I heard is that they will speak with you in Spanish (part of the time) IF you have claimed some Spanish language ability. They don't require a proficiency exam like some schools so this is a way...
I'm in for the interview too! My condolences to those who did not get one. I hope you end up in (another) great program. Mine is on Jan. 25 also. I am going for Adult-Gerontology. I'm so excited I...
Oohhh, nervous! Has anyone received their letter yet? I checked my box yesterday but nothing. Does anyone know what happens if you don't get an interview? I mean, do they notify you at the same time...
Hi rainkissedleaves, I just saw your notes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on UCSF. I applied and would love to go there. Did anything else come up that could guide me/us in an interview? I'm...
Hi sfsunursing, I am applying to the SFSU BSN (on-campus) too. I can't tell you what you chances are but you certainly sound competitive, especially with your languages. Just to compare: GPA about 3.7...
Hi folks, A few of you have mentioned back-up schools. I'm not sure this counts but I came across a program at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. I'm thinking of applying, partly because I...
Hi folks, I am also applying to the direct entry MSNs but I'm jumping in a little late in the game. I applied to UCSF. I'm glad about that. Beyond that, I was going to just apply to BSN program in my...
Hi folks, I have just started the application process. Does anyone know how long it takes to get your SF State ID#? The Nursing Program asks for it on the application form. I applied for SFSU on...
Hi folks, Thanks for an interesting thread. I have just applied for the MEPN (entry-level Masters) at UCSF. I would love to be a NP. I know it's a longshot because the program is so competitive but I...
Thanks for the update, foolie. I did see that. It's great for the students already at Sac State! Not so much for me. I plan to apply to the ASBSN. Fingers crossed that they continue that
If you already have a B.A., there is the Sac State ASBSN. It starts in June, I think. Apps are due in Jan/Feb 2013. And there is Samuel Merritt, which has apps due at various time through the year;...
Congrats! I want to stay pretty local to the SF BAy area so I'll be applying to SF State, CSU East Bay and CSU Sac to start with. There are later app deadlines for schools I am considering, like San...
