Hello all! I have been anxiously searching forums for the past 2 months. I have been reading over previous applicants and their experience during the waiting period. I thought I might start a thread for those of us who have applied for the fall of 2023 cohort. Looking forward to the next few weeks of waiting with those who have applied!

Hi! I'm not sure when we will hear final decisions. I received an email March 1 that said my application went past preliminary review and would be sent to the nursing department. From other threads I've read it looks like decisions start to come out March 31st. I'm not sure if that's changed since they extended the December 1 deadline to December 23? Have you heard anything?

I have been looking at all the past posts too. I was in the BSN Q&A this past Monday and was told they are hoping to send out acceptance emails by mid April. I was hoping for end of March as well. Ugh this wait is starting to make me anxious.

Ahh, I applied for Sacramento/San Mateo, so I won't hear back until end of June. It seems so close to the start of school! Unfortunately, because they won't provide provisional acceptance until then, I won't be eligible to apply for the Nurse Corps scholarship, which is a big bummer.

My stats are as follows:

Science Prerequisite GPA: 3.33, Other Prerequisites: 3.31

Recommendations from my Microbiology & Physiology professor, and lead RN from an oncology practice I worked at. 

TEAS exam 80% in all categories.

Nursing Success seminar attendee.

I worked in health care for 3+ years, certified in medical assisting and phlebotomy. Volunteer time at my church giving back to the community. Hoping this all helps to strengthens my application. Good luck to everyone! I  can't wait to hear of the results. I was also informed that if we don't get accepted this first round, we can meet with the admissions counselor to see how we can strengthen our application for the next cycle.

Hey all! I just received an email from admissions that stated final reviews were underway, and that decisions would be sent out late April. Did anyone else just receive that? Or am I late? Hope you all or doing well!
