SFSU ELMSN Fall 2020

Published

Hi Everyone! I wanted to start a thread here because I could not find one for this cohort. I applied for the Adult Gerontology CNS track. Anybody know when interview invites will be sent out? ?

Hey @jennai96

I’m sure you’ve done all of this, but maybe look at the numbers again? Would it still cost less if you actually started at SFSU and lost the cost of whatever semester you’re currently in? Beyond that, think about longevity of both programs. If one is shorter, in theory you may be able to work to make-up the difference. Beyond just the financial aspect, I would also ask how you feel about the current place you are. Like if you gel with the culture; if professors feel helpful, etc.

(just my thoughts!)

hope it’s at least somewhat helpful!

Melissa

Thank you for your input, Melissa! Generally, SFSU is so much cheaper (at least 1/2 the cost of my current program) and the downside is 3 years with summers off as opposed to my current program with no summers off and I'll be done by Spring 2022. I do like the current program quite a lot but the CNS track offered at SFSU appeal much more to me.

I haven’t heard anything either. Did you all say you would attend if given the opportunity since you were accepted into other programs? I’m also curious how many open seats there really are

I've been #1 on the waitlist since March and the same when I checked last week and hadn't heard back. They did start pulling people from the waitlist for their BSN program on Monday, so I think they'll get back to us soon.

I'm in the same boat with you although I'm already in my 3rd week of classes at another program. I also like the specialty offered at SFSU since I applied for the pediatrics and the tuition is 1/2 the cost of my current program.

Oh, that's is good to know (fingers crossed!), and that is a really difficult position to be in, especially since you've already started. I am #11 (not as promising) for pediatrics as well, but at some point I want to start figuring out my living situation which would change things if I could get into SFSU. I also agree, I don't love that SFSU is not as "accelerated" with having summers off. I am trying to decide if waiting to hear anything back is still worth it...

I did, since I think it was the only option besides being dropped from the waitlist all together. I am curious about that too, since I need to decide if it's worth waiting or not ?

Hi everyone! Just wanted to post an update here--I was offered a spot for Fall 2020 but have officially declined since I have already wrapped up my first semester at USF. Good luck to those on the waitlist!
