Spring 2010 Hopefuls!

Coriander, BSN, RN · Aug 25, 2009

I just called the Nursing office at SDSU and was told that those of us who have rolled over to Spring will hear in the end of December or beginning of January.

Quite a wait, but at least I can settle down and focus on this next semester without worrying about checking my e-mail every 10 minutes. :wink2:

I'll begin...
Where are you applying?
CSU Long Beach (my top choice school, and the only one of my tops that is accepting spring admission)
What are their requirements/what do they look at for admission? Point system?
Science GPA (4pts) , General Ed GPA (2pts) , TEAS math score (2pts), TEAS overall score (2 pts) = 10 points total
What is your current GPA? (science and GE)
I haven't finished all my prereqs but so far...
- 4.0 in sciences so far (but i've only taken Chem haha)
- 4.0 in GE courses, so far
- 3.8 overall
Any entrance exams? scores?
TEAS - haven't taken them yet. I will this summer.
Plan A, B and C?
A - Get into CSU Long Beach on my first try (I will still have Physio in progress)
B - Apply again to CSULB for Fall 2010 once all prereqs are completed as well as apply to SFSU for Fall, retake TEAS if necessary.
C - Stay at my JC, and finish all of my other general education (ones that weren't required for NS) and once again... apply to CSULB for Spring 2011
D - Stay at my JC and take whatever I need to, or if I need to retake classes I will (I'm hoping I won't have to) and work as a CNA (i'm getting my CNA license in december) Apply for Fall 2011 all up and down california: CSULB (again.. i know, excessive) , SFSU, CSU East Bay, CSU LA, Sonoma State, Sac State, CSU Chico, CSU Stanislaus, CSU Fresno, CSU San Marcos, CSU Channel Islands, and my JC's ADN program.
E - Work as a CNA if accepted nowhere (wow that would be depressing), and apply to ADN programs and LVN programs all over and work my way up to ADN, BSN and MSN.
F - If I never get accepted to any programs I will go crazy and probably move to San Francisco or LA and live as a bum on the streets.

what's your JC?? I'm also applying to SFSU, as my #2 choice!!!

3. GPA: 3.0

4.No entrance exams are required. I'm a transfer student with a Bachelor's.

5. A, B, or C.....? I have no choice other than becoming a nurse.

If not accepted now, I will take more classes to earn more points.

I also plan to look @ University of South Carolina- Upstate for their BSN track.

So, just wondering: Does anyone have any idea how the admissions process works? I'm waiting to hear from my school and I keep going over in my head the pros and cons of my application. Just curious how they make their decisions out of hundreds of applicants - we all take the same prereqs, but we took them at different schools. One "A" may be equivalent to a "C" at another or vice versa....obviously my GPA is my main concern, so just trying to keep my head up while I wait and wait and wait :) Seems like I get a mini panic attack every day when I turn onto my road coming home from work wondering what's in the mail! Always hoping for some good news :)

Anyone hear from their school yet? Thinking positive for EVERYONE who has applied, we all know the efforts it has taken to get this far :)

Where are you applying?

Univeristy of Louisiana at Monroe School of Nursing

What are their requirements/what do they look at for admission?

Strictly GPA and HESI score (GPAxHESI) point system

What is your current GPA? (science and GE)

Pre-requisite GPA: 3.7 Cummulative 3.75

Any entrance exams? scores?

HESI Entrance Exam, will take Nov 10

Took the NLN for a ASN program I got accepted into and scored a 96% so I'm hoping I will do well.

Plan A, B and C?

Plan A - Start clinicals in the spring

Plan B - No idea, we can only take the HESI once, so I guess bring up GPA

Plan C - No other options, my scholarships and student loans would run out before I'd be done.

Turned in my application already, and they don't send out acceptance letters until the 3rd week of December. Classes start the second week of January, so I'm going to be a nervous wreck. :stone

Well I got in. Start in January!

Carebear28 · Oct 19, 2009

to update....I GOT IN!!! I only applied to 1 school - and I was accepted :) Soo excited and thankful. I will be starting the program January 2010 at the Medical University of South Carolina and I can't wait!

osagarese · Nov 14, 2009

Congrats to all! :stdnrsrck: :rckn:

frodo-dog · Nov 14, 2009

hi osagarese, also enjoy college!

i am trying to determine what i need to get accepted, i just got rejected (they could have worded the letter better than to say "you have been rejected"). would you mind shareing how many of the co-reqs you have completed, your gpa and net score? for the next application: fall 2010, i have to have any additional official transcripts into mcc by march 10th and hence can not get any more credits done before the cut off. even the short corses take me to the end of march. i still have psy101, (i have psy245) eng 102 and a hum to complete. otherwise i have a 4.0 and didnt get in. now i have to take the teas test as well. :crying2: i want to see if whether i am wasting my time applying to mcc for fall with 3 missing co-reqs.

osagarese · Nov 14, 2009

hi frodo-dog, i have a 3.9 gpa no net has to be taken in my school. the classes that i have taken are: eng 101, a&pi, a&pii, psy 101,soc 101, these are pre-reqs and the following are classes you have to take while in nursing but i took them ahead of time so in nursing all i will have left are nursing classes, eng 102,developmental psych, micro, and communications, this is a hum class. but you said you are applying to mcc that is different than my school which is sccc the requirements might be different.

good luck!
