I thought I would make a thread for those of us who will be applying to the SFSU/Canada College BSN program, fall 2009 cohort. Maybe we could share our stats, frustrations, thoughts about the nursing profession, etc.
As for me, I have two prerequisites left to complete. I am taking one right now, and I will take the last one during spring 2009. I anticipate that I will have about a 3.7 GPA in the prerequisite courses.
I have also met two of the supplementary criteria. With as competitive as it is, I know that it's pretty much a coin toss as to whether I get in or not. I'm just hoping for a little luck.
No, not yet. Was it for the Master's program or the main campus? Was it for this program?? What does your status online say? Mine still says my application is under review with the nursing program. OMG, omg, omg...the letters are on their way!!!
Well, I went and checked my application status, and it says I've been admitted...for Nursing...but is that the same as being admitted BY the nursing program?? Ack!
Where did your status change on the admission status page? Mine still says that my app is in review. Did your status change to say "admitted"? If so, I bet you are in!
Okay, maybe a glimmer of hope for those of us with our apps "still in review". Maybe they are going by alphabetical order??? ro'smom, what does you last name begin with?? Mine is K, so maybe they haven't gotten very far through the alphabet yet???? I know, I know, wishful thinking...I feel like crying...
I went to the main SFSU page, and selected "login". The next page gave me choices of where to log in, and over on the right, under "For Students" there was a link to "Admission Status". Choose that one, not, MySFSU.
I thought of that too. My last name starts with "St."
This is crazy. We are so hurting to get in that we are analyzing this from all angles. We would be awesome nurses. They should let us in on our dedication alone.
I guess the last name theory doesn't seem that plausible. Maybe they are doing it randomly and just haven't got to everyone yet. Also, if some people are being notified of their acceptances, what about the people who don't get in? Are they intentionally notifying only those who got in, before denying all the others in one blow?
I'm pretty much in the same situation as bxdo. I think having a course in progress is what killed me. Especially since it is Physiology, which is like one of the most important prerequisites.
jeez and it's still far from the next application period, oh well.
