SFSU BSN Fall 2018

[MintFarmer]

Given the app for fall 2018 isn't due for another two months, this is a bit early but I wanted to see other people's stats and thoughts on the SFSU app.

My stats:

3.9 cumulative GPA

4.0 prereq GPA

86.7% TEAS

101+ health/multicultural volunteer hrs

No second language, military status, or CNA license so not sure if I'll make the cut

Hard to know what to expect with a SFSU without a point system. My stats have got me barely making the cut-off point for most CSUs based on previously admitted student stats

Hi MARod,

Last year's fall class, 100% of those admitted had volunteer experience and 94% had multicultural experience. I can't tell from your post if you had either, but judging based on the stats it looks like volunteer/multicultural experience is mandatory.

Hi Reincarnated,

Thanks, that's useful information... I don't have volunteer experience but I believe it's in the same category as previous work in a clinical setting which I do have 3 years of recently and a total of 7 years.. I don't have multicultural experience though, in fact, I don't really know what that means? Can you or anyone else explain what they submitted as multicultural experience? Thanks again!

Multicultural work is kind of in the name, multiple cultures or marginalized communities. Hate to say it this way but basically working with a specific group that isn't white. Ex. Working with a black church, working with the Chinese Elderly, etc.

I wish I knew this worked too, I help out in the Filipino community from time to time :/

Congratulations!

Out of the people who have interviews coming up: how many of you are actually going to accept an offer for admission to this program? I think it would be a good idea if we all get to know if we have a chance to get in for those who may be waitlisted.

In other words, who has an interview and who has this program listed as their Top school to go to?

I just got an interview email (Tuesday night 3/28. The interview is for just over a week from today... if I'm offered a spot I believe I'll accept, but mostly just feeling grateful to have the opportunity to interview for now! I posted my stats on the previous page fyi!

[Mint Farmer]

Im pretty sure Ill attend if im accepted into the program. Its a matter of comparing with other programs I may get into. If I end up choosing not to go, Ill definitely post on this thread so waitlisted people know

[Reincarnated]

How was the interview everyone? :)

[MARod]

I will go on Thursday... Reincarnated did you have yours already? How many people were in the group?

[Reincarnated]

It was instructed not to give out any information about the process or risk losing points in getting into the program, so unfortunately I can't say much.

Hi all, interview was really interesting, but I kind of liked it! haha These next 3 weeks are going to feel so long, did anyone ask them if they had a specific idea of when acceptance letters would come out.
