I get a huge chocolate milkshake with extra whip cream! Congratulations on finishing the semester and getting into NS!!

I'm sorry your sad! :icon_hug:But don't give up!! There is still a really good chance that you will get in! At my school they told us people change their plans all of the time and the people on the waiting list do get in! In fact, last year at my school everyone on the waiting list got in. Keep your head up!!

Congrats!! I will be done May 26th with all my pre-reqs. I can't wait!

I completely agree with you! I was really mad when they changed it also. It sounds so much better the other way. I usually still call it Cal State Hayward though - old habits are hard to break!

Date Received: 04/27/2006 Program: BSN School: Cal State East Bay State: California When: Fall 2006 Congratulations to everyone who got accepted and good luck to those who are still waiting - it will come!!!!

I'm sorry you didn't get in Andy!!! :icon_hug: Don't give up though. Just because you were placed on the alternate list doesn't mean you won't get in. The school that I'll be attending in the Fall accepted all 20 people on their waiting list last year due to increased funding and people changing their minds. I just called the first school I got accepted to and told them I wouldn't be attending because I chose another school. They told me this happens all the time, which means the people on the wait list do get accepted! Plus you're still waiting on two more schools. I got denied for my first school also and was crushed, but my other two schools accepted me - SO DON'T GIVE UP!! Keep you head up - it will happen for you!! Good luck!!

I just found out that I got accepted to Cal State East Bay yesterday. I have a 4.0 GPA and I was in the 99th percentile on the TEAS. I don't know what the average GPA and scores were that got accepted this year, but at the info session I went to, they told us last year the average GPA was 3.8 and the average for the TEAS was in the 98th percentile. They also told us that about 800 students apply and 80 get accepted. It went up from 65 last year due to the Concord campus. I also got accepted to CSU Stanislaus. My counselor had told me to apply there because it is a brand new school and many people don't know about it yet, so not as many apply, so you stand a better chance. Also as someone pointed out earlier, volunteer work can help you. CSU East Bay doesn't look at it, but other schools do such as San Francisco State and Stanislaus. I got denied at SFSU because I had no volunteer work. I hope this helps! Good luck to you!! With your GPA and determination it sounds like you will do fine!!

I got accepted at CSU Stanislaus today!!!!!!! I almost passed out when I got the letter!!! And to think last week at this time I was crying because I got a denial letter!! Now I just have to wait for my #1 choice school - the letter is supposed to be here in about three weeks. Take it from me - don't give up!! I thought last week it was all over and it's not!! I'M GOING TO BE A NURSE!!!!! Thanks for everyone's support!!

I am so sorry to hear that. :icon_hug: You're not alone!! I also got a rejection letter, but I realized we can't give up!!!! You've worked this hard - you can do it!! Keep your head up and try again!!

Thanks soooooo much everybody!!! Everyone has made me feel so much better!! You guys are right - I'm not going to give up - I've worked way too hard to get this far. I'm just going to pray that one of my other schools accept me and if not I'll just start volunteering like crazy for the next year and try again! I'm determined to become a nurse no matter how many times I have to reapply. Thanks for the support!! I don't know what I would do without this forum! :)
