SJSU Fall 2014

teabird · May 3, 2014

Yeah, there is a good chance! I'm number 5 and was told by the nursing department that we still have hope; more people decline in the fall start than in spring. Fingers crossed that we get into our top choice schools!

For those who got waitlisted for sjsu, there's nothing to do but to wait for them to contact you? How do you know where you are on the waitlist?

There's still hope for those on the wait list. My friend and I'm sure a lot of other people who got into SJSU's program are on the wait list for SFSU and would rather go to SFSU than SJSU, so don't fret too much!

My friend was waitlisted and then got accepted into the program, she was called the week before school started! Very nerve-wrecking for her! I'm sure there will be some people choosing other schools, failing drug/background screening, or last minute events where nursing is just not the right time for them. Stay positive, it's the best for your mental well-being! :)

Btw, has anyone received their background check results in the mail? I haven't & I did mine on Monday

I completed mine on Saturday and received it on wednesday so yours should be coming soon

I was called a few days ago and notified of my position on the wait list. I believe the department will notify applicants when a spot in the 60 opens up for them, maybe also if they move from one position to another on the wait list.

Hi everyone-

Yes I agree that people wait listed should not give up hope!

I got into San Jose but live in Oakland and my fingers crossed for CSUEB!!! I'm also wait listed at SF state. So I will definitely be giving up my position at San Jose if I am to get in at either of those places ( preferably CSUEB!!) I will keep you all updated. :)

you guys had by May 5th to submit the background and drug test? do you think she'll give up spots of people that didn't do it on time?

twang624 · May 4, 2014

Background check has to be done within 7 days of receiving the acceptance letter. Drug screening is done for both sjsu students and transfers in august. For transfers, drug screening can't be done until after 8.18 and has to be completed by 8.27

We have until May 6th to submit the $100 and acceptance to admission offer. We had to do background check within 7 days of receiving our acceptance letter. We can't do drug test until mid August.

I doubt they they will give away spots if people miss it by a few days but any longer, it's possible.

hmm i wonder if people on the fence will not want to waste $100 if they're set on other schools

I think if people know for sure they are going to attend another school/

Have any acceptance from

Their preferred school they might not want to pay the $100 ( plus $55

For background check plus $70 for the mandatory transfer orientation fee!) but if you are someone like me who is still waiting for acceptances

Or on waitlist somewhere else it's totally worth it. I know I'll be out $225 if I end up getting into my preferred choices but no way I would jeopardize my position at SJSU
