SFSU ELMSN Fall 2017 Cohort

[aposseadesse]

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!!

Hello. I am curious how financial aid works for this program, since you get a BSN & MSN, were you guys awarded full federal financial aid for this (federal loans) if needed? Also the program is just 2 years correct? Thanks!

My reason for asking, is that Federal loans do not cover much for a 2nd bachelor's (12,500 per year), so I'm wondering how that works. Just trying to avoid private loans.

Hey guys, I am going to create a Facebook group for this cohort. Private message me your email so I can add you!

Thanks for getting it started etude1!

This site will not let me message you because I haven't posted 15 "quality topics"!

My email is [email protected] , can you email there and I can send fb info?

Hello Everyone,

First of all congrats! I am hoping to be in your shoes one day. I will be applying for the Fall 2018 cohort and I was hoping to get some insight from you all :)

What were your stats?

What did you do to become a competitive applicant?

Do you know how many people apply/how many they accept?

Is the A-ELMSN more or less competitive?

I have been working as a cancer research coordinator for the past 2 years and have a publication and a few abstracts/poster presentations, so I have decent healthcare and patient experience. I also have a 4.0 prerequisite GPA. My main concern is regarding my undergraduate GPA which is a 3.01 :/

Thank you in advance and good luck on your nursing journey!!

Hey bay_np,

I've applied to the Fall 2018 ELMSN cohort and I was wondering if there is a forum set up for other applications. I couldn't find one but maybe I just don't know what to look for? Did you get an interview?

Hey caitlynfb. I heard they sent out the interview invitations this week. Did you get one? I got in at USD but it is so expensive. Was hoping I would get in at SF state.

I got an interview invitation on Monday evening for next Tuesday 4/3. I'm not sure if they are sending them out still or not, from what I read from last year there were some late interviews the week after the main interview week? Good luck to you.
