SFSU ELMSN Fall 2017 Cohort

Published

Hi Everyone! I did a search for SFSU ELMSN Fall 2017 and I didn't see any active threads so I thought I'd start one. This is my second year submitting program applications, first year to SFSU. I graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Management in 2012 and have been working for the past 4 years volunteering, prepping for entrance exams and completing prerequisites for a variety of nursing programs. I am hoping this year will be there. I'm also applying to Samuel Merritt's ABSN program, USF's Masters program for Non-Nurses, University of Hawai'i's GEPN program and Johns Hopkins University's MEPN program. Would anyone care to share their stats? Best of luck and Happy Holidays!!

Weird, last time I received anything from SFSU was Feb 12th and it was about financial aid. I wonder if I should be concerned.

What other programs has everyone applied to/heard back from? What made you decide to apply to SFSU?

So far I've been accepted to Johns Hopkins University and waitlisted for USF and Samuel Merritt. I'm going to visit the Johns Hopkins campus weekend after next before I make my decision. I'd like to stay in San Francisco but JHU is a big opportunity.

Best of luck to everyone!

Currently waitlisted at USF and WesternU. Hoping for SFSU because it's a BSN + MSN + potentially FNP certificate, which is ultimately my goal, and I live 5 blocks from the school. I'm a SF native so doing a program that caters to my community would be ideal.

Has anyone received any type of email regarding interviews yet? The suspense is killing me! It's already Thursday!

Hi everybody, I got invited for an interview. I received the invite via email on Tuesday in the afternoon. Did you check your spam boxes?

By the way, i'm just joining the thread and want to comment on several people's posts about the lack of participation on this thread. For one, it was difficult to find this thread. I wasn't sure if I needed to enter SFSU, SF State, San Francisco State. Then I didn't know whether to do ELMSN, MEPN, etc. So maybe others had the same problem and just can't find the thread...easily.

And the other reason may be that the number of applicants to this program is 100-150, if my memory is correct. Schools like UCSF and USF get 300-400 applicants. I might expect, then, that this thread would have 3x less participants.

I received an email about financial aid awards but nothing about an interview. I Just checked my spam and trash. I find it odd that I would receive an email about financial aid award but not an interview.

@aposseadesse, and everybody else who hasn't heard anything, don't give up hope! I just reviewed the email we got immediately after the Feb 1 deadline and it says, "Full application evaluations will follow the initial screenings; and then applicants may be contacted mid/late March for an in-person interview to occur during the weeks 3/27/2017 or 4/3/2017."

I'm wondering if the timetable got pushed out, which means interviews will happen the weeks of 4/3 and 4/10. Since I heard about my interview this week for the week of 4/3, perhaps more invites will go out next week for the week of 4/10.

Congrats @sflava!!! You must be so excited/relieved to get an interview! If you don't mind would you share your stats? Gre score, gpa etc. As for me, I've checked my spam and trash but no email :/ hopefully tomorrow something will come in or like you said interviews may have been pushed out.
