SFSU Fall 2015

I have never heard of a point system here at SFSU, and when I attended the info meeting there weren't any sign ins or whatever. The only thing I know is that they weigh everything. What I am thinking is that they want well-rounded people in the program so for example, if someone got an A in chemistry then they'll want a person who had a B to balance each other out. On top of that, people who have gotten into past programs have had GPAs that were below like 3.7 but they got 85-90 on their TEAS, so I think it just all depends.

They did specifically mention points at the info session I attended, but that was for the Sequoia program (and it was also for applicants to the cohort that started this past fall). Like you, I think they are looking for well-rounded applicants, but it may be that a point system helps them narrow down the huge pool. We were told at this year's info session that they were introducing the interviews because they had admitted people in the past who looked very good on paper but didn't have great interpersonal skills.

Not too much longer until the end of the month... good luck everyone!

They introduced interviews last year and this year but they didn't do them. I even asked what type they were going to do but they said there weren't any interviews so darn! Lol. But yeah, can't be too long now. Good luck to you and everyone else!

I emailed them and asked them about the interviews during the application period but they said there won't be any interviews :)

Actually, we did have interviews in March for the Sequoia program. They said they were piloting it with our group, so maybe they will roll it out to all applicants next year. It was nice to know I'd gotten a little further along in the process, but still very nerve-wracking!

There will be no interviews for Fall 2015 cohort

Right, not for the main campus program. For the SFSU/Sequoia BSN program (which takes place at Canada College but is identical to the main SFSU BSN), there were interviews in March.

I got an acceptance email yesterday for the Sequoia program. Did anyone else hear back? Maybe the main campus applicants will hear soon!

I got an email yesterday. I've been accepted into the SF State/Sequoia Nursing BSN program! Good luck to everyone for whichever program you desire. I hope some of you are in my cohort.

Congrats! I sent you a PM with my email if you want to connect before classes start.

Yes, I heard back yesterday for Sequoia Program!

Do they send email notices to personal emails? We don't check for the message anywhere else right?
