SFSU 2011 applicants

Published

Application period is about to start for everybody. I wanted to open a new thread for those who are applying to SFSU, to share information, give support to others and to see how fierce the competition is going to be this academic year.

HEY EVERYONE!!!!

I GOT ACCEPTED TODAY!!!!!!!!! FALL 2011!!!!!!!

:anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom::anpom:

FINALLY OUT OF THE WAIT LIST!!!!

I would like to say a few words, to those on the wait list especially. Never lose hope and dreams will come true. Think positive and remain optimistic about your dreams because they really do become a reality in the end. I was not sure how I made it in. Was it good karma? Was it friendship support? Could it have been the good deeds repaid? Or possibly the effort and sacrifice of hard work that I did?

To those on the wait list and still hoping, especially to you EME.LEW, I'm pulling for you big time! Never lose hope and keep in faith that you'll be there!

I woke up this day to see my emails and I got an acceptance email from SFSU's nursing program! I screamed waking up my mom to give my twin and mom a hug. Now I can't wait to see and be united with my friends and support them for this program. It'll be one big ride, but with team work and perseverance, we'll pull through. I'm very happy that things worked out the way they did, because now I can see myself in those communities to help people out. And yes, I am VERY THANKFUL for all of you here in this site! Without your positive words and encouragement, I would probably have been on a different route.

I cannot thank you all enough: candicen83, angelxeternity, Reebles, EME.LEW, and everyone else who have shown support!

:redpinkhe Thank you :)

I was number 18/115 on the wai list at first, then after a few weeks, I moved to number 4. By orientation week, I emailed them and asked what my status was when they accepted me. I pretty much had to wait for a long time, unsure how long though but I got notice in mid-to-late March, got contacted in late May, then again in late July... but it is TOTALLY worth it.

My stats? I had 3.9 prereq GPA, 3.8 overall college GPA, 6/3 supplemental, 79.2% TEAS V.

Good luck to all that apply. gotta finish a care plan now...

For Fall 2012, only 20 people ended up continuing in the program, so in the Spring 2012 cohort, 60 were accepted. They accepted up to #30 on the wait list (maybe b/c not all of them accepted the offer.) That stats for the people accepted vary. Many of them worked as cna's or in clinical settings, some for a long time, some only certified and never worked. Most people I have talked to got average grading from the TEAS test, and some amount of cultural or volunteer experience. There are a few people who did not get all A's, maybe people with 3.0 grade averages, and the majority of students accepted had at least 3.8's or higher. I believe that everyone has a chance. You would think that everyone would have 1,000 hours of volunteer experience, be bilingual/trilingual, have a 4.0 and 100% on the TEAS, but that is not true.

SF State accepts nursing student typically with these stats in order of priority:

1. Good Grades in pre-reqs

2. TEAS test ( just average requirement, but higher students accepted 1st)

3. Volunteer/work experience (doesn't necessarily need to be medically related)

4. second and third languages.

I would highly, highly recommend attending the meetings to talk about applications. I learned several things at one meeting that I think helped me get in. (the correct TEAS version, how to submit volunteer work proof correctly, etc) I also called alot to ask questions, and emailed often to check what my status was.

Yea, wanna know the funny part? I got accepted on the week of orientation...

I think I found out my result in mid-March if I got accepted or not or wait listed. I was pretty sad because I applied to 5 schools: 4 ADNs that I never made into and 1 BSN (SFSU) that wait listed me. I was so lucky to get into SFSU.
