st14

Thanks curlypearly and caligirl7 for your encouragement. I called today and the lady said they are at alternate #17. LOL. So far from my number. Disappointed but it's okay because I got into a couple of other CSU's (just not my preferred choice). I guess I will wait a bit longer to see if there is movement down the alternate list. J/W what month is Chico nursing orientation?

Anyone know what alternate number the nursing department is at? Will they tell me if I call?

For those who got in, what is the deadline for the background check? Chico is also my #1 because of location & kids . But I'm alternate in the mid-30s. feeling helpless but hopeful.

Hi everyone. Check your email. I just got accepted!!! :)

You seem to be clearly upset that you didn't get an interview. Your stats are great. However, I think the issue here is that you applied too early. I, too, wanted to start immediately the next semester after I finished all my pre-reqs because I hate wasting time also. Most schools don't even let you apply with a science course in progress and those that allow will adjust your in-progress grade to make it fair to those who've already completed those courses (and who knows, just because one is a straight 'A' student doesn't mean he or she will get an A for that in-progress class). So I decided to wait to be on the safe side (It will be 2 semesters gone by since I last took my last pre-req). Just be patient and apply again if you really want to get into CSULB. No need to bash them. The nursing staff do read these forums.
