The SON told me.

There's 23 people on the alternate list. Most likely everyone on the alternate list gets in for the fall because many many people get into other schools that they prefer over CSULB. For Spring, only a few of the alternates get in because most people will accept their acceptance. Last year Fall 2013, all the alternates got in. Good luck for those that are on the list!

No, I verified today that 9.26 was the cutoff for the alternates as well. There must have been some error when calculating those numbers since they aren't directly from the department.

That was for the interview, but most likely everyone who was interviewed (including the alternates) will get in because a lot of people deny their acceptance because they've gotten in elsewhere.

yeah same here, I just contacted them and they said it was a 9.26. Idk... must have something to do with the calculations unless they already have their associate degree in which case they would have priority.

Seriously? I had a 9.19. That seems VERY unfair to me. I was told that a lot of people were in the 9.2 range. Do you think they were around 9.2 or even lower? Did they verify their points with the nursing department?

kd94, What were your points? And I haven't received a rejection letter, but I'm sure we will receive them soon. I think those accepted were notified via email.

Oh okay, then I hope they will accept transfers for spring of 2015. I will call and ask them tomorrow. I'm not sure about other schools, I'm actually only looking into CSULB, but if you look at other schools websites, it should have some more information on them. Wow good job on increasing your score the second time. If you could study as much as possible and try to get something higher, that would be good for you. But your score seems pretty high enough to get in for the Spring. Yeah I know, its hard to do good on the reading if English is a second language. I myself actually scored the lowest in the grammar section and English is my first language, so I am sure it was hard for you. It's upto you though if you want to try to take it again. I guess it wouldnt hurt?

I think you're most likely going to be safe. Remember that for the Spring of 2013, they didnt accept transfers, so it wasnt as competitive, however for the years before that, the cutoff was still in the high 8's. Does anyone know if they accepted transfers for Spring of 2014? It is only getting more and more competitive, so I guess it wouldnt hurt to take it again and get a better score to be on the safe side. What did you get the first time?

Same here, Do you have a course in progress?

I'm pretty sure they are going to. I'll be suuuuuper upset if they dont! Are you going to reapply Vee89?

Yeah I'm pretty upset about not getting in for the fall too, but that's life. I'm just going to reapply for the Spring of 2015. I guess one upside to it is that when we graduate, we will get our license months sooner than we would if we were graduating with everyone else because not many people are trying to get their license during the time we would graduate. You will get accepted for sure in the Spring of 2015, reapply! I dont think they should allow you to apply with a course in progress either. It's almost impossible to get in now with a course in progress with how competitive it is unless you have 100% on everything else. I also think they should give the teas exam more points than the pre req gpa because its a standardized exam and everyone takes the same exam, so i think it gives a better look at the candidate; whereas, yes, everyone takes the same science courses, but their grade depends on many different factors.

Congrats to everyone who got an interview invite! :)

Angel_12, what were your total points?
