Hey all, I applied as freshmen applicant to several schools for both pre-nursing and direct entry. I’m seeking others input on my chances as I wait for my results from my top schools, UCLA and SDSU.

I have also had a job since my sophomore year and I will be a first generation college student.

Look forward to hearing back :slight_smile:

Also, I have already been admitted to CSULB (invite to honors college), UNR, CSU Chico, and CSU Sacramento for Pre-Nursing! I also got the regents scholarship for UCSB (Physiology major). Waiting to hear back from UCLA (Nursing), UC Berkeley (nutrition major), UC Davis (Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior major), and SDSU (Nursing).

Congrats on being a 1st generation college applicant and for your successful high school career. The acceptance rates for CA public school direct entry BSN programs are extremely low (2-5%) so there are no guarantees for anyone. But you certainly have the stats and course rigor for acceptance by SDSU. The ECs will matter for UCs. I’d guess with solid essays you would be competitive at the UCs as well.

Note: other APs/DEs that can work well with Nursing road maps are AP Stats instead of Calc, Physio, and even Political Science.

@Banker1 Thanks for the response!

You are definitely a competitive applicant but as stated above, the admit rates are low for SDSU and UCLA. I think SDSU is a definitely possible and UCLA is hard to determine.

Best of luck and you have some good choices already.
