Sac State Fall 2013 Applicants

I know what you mean nurseinthemaking20... I've been too excited and thinking of all these scenarios but nothings out yet lol .. every year seems to get a lot more competitive. It's time for me to come back to earth. And just wait.

Rafaeia- exactly! Who knows how high the point cut off will be this time.

I put my application in the mail yesterday. Phew! I sent it certified, just to be sure. It's a good feeling to have that done, although now it's the wait-and-see torture!

crebs, thanks so much for your thoughts. You make me even more excited about the program. I am a little torn between Sac State and USF. Of course, I don't know that I'll get into either or both, but -- if I do -- I don't know which is my first choice. Because I'm a second bacc student, I could get a MSN at USF. I just don't know if that would make a big difference. I really just want to be a nurse. And I get such good reports (like yours) about CSUS. Any thoughts you, or anyone else, has about this are most welcome!

I also did my Spanish test at Sac. On Friday. The tester was super nice, I agree. I enjoyed walking around campus in the early evening light. I felt like I would really love to go to school there (given the chance).

Yes nurseinthemaking20, I really do wonder about the cut off points for F'13. Well since we both have the same point amount, we are definitely in the same boat. x)

I agree scwolf... would love to go there if I get in. Hope we do!

Also, there's a scholarship for Sac state, transfers applicable! $1000-$2000 amount, you need your transcripts, two recommendation letters (one must be from a faculty member) and an essay describing why you want to attend Sac state, goals, hardships, etc... it's a great opportunity. more info can be found here:

Disregard the third link, about the scholarship instructions since it has not been updated on the website (says 2012-2013 for some reason) but here's the 2013-2014 scholarship instructions scanned here: http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/o612/Rafaeia/public/scholarship_zpsf255d605.jpg

rafaeia, thank you so much for sharing the scholarship info!

Do you have any idea if transfers can apply, given that is says you need to be accepted already and we won't be accepted for a few weeks?

scwolf · Feb 19, 2013

... if we're lucky, of course.

Thank you so much crebs!! It's really nice to get some feedback from people who are already in the program...and comforting as well knowing that you have been where we are.

Thank you, thank you!!

No prob! We will find out if we get into Sac state soon (not the nursing program, just the school in general), on March 1st.. The scholarship instructions said that transfers can apply as well and on the cover page it said that **all majors should apply** http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/o612/Rafaeia/IMAG2538_zps1dc35268.jpg

But then requirements also said, "accepted as a transfer in an undergraduate program at CSUS" ... Ahh D: and we didn't specifically know if we get into undergraduate nursing specifically or not by the deadline, only the university as a "pre-nursing" student in general ...

I will still give it a shot haha.

Finally dropped off my application today. The reality of it all has officially set in. Now I'm going to sit here and worry for the next few months that I missed something or did something wrong! Gosh, I over analyze things!

scwolf · Feb 22, 2013

The system ate my last post. I hope this isn't a double post.

Hey, Nurseinthemaking20, if you were my nurse, I'd be glad you over (rather than under) analyzed things!

Good luck with the scholarship, rafaeia, I hope you get it!
