I attend a school in the Sweetwater school district and also live in SDSU’s service area.
I have looked over SDSU admissions threads for the class of 2022 and saw people with EI’s as high as 4700 get rejected from the nursing program.
However, a student who graduated from my school last year was accepted to SDSU nursing with an EI of 4300. I’m happy for the student, but this was shocking to me because so many people with higher EI’s were denied admission.
I was just wondering if SDSU officially gives nursing applicants (or applicants in general) priority if they live within SDSU’s service area.
SDSU only gives priority to the Compact for Success students and that priority is being discontinued at the end of this year’s admissions cycle.
Description: Compact Scholars are SUHSD students who are guaranteed admission to SDSU through the Compact for Success. ” CSU’s mission is to serve local communities with many feeder high schools. (Students from all high schools in San Diego County south of State Hwy 56 and Imperial County,
I don’t think there’s an admissions advantage for local nursing applicants. You can check with the admissions office. Discrepancies in reported EI could simply have been miscalculated or misreported by applicant. Or application could have been missing required classes, or missing minimum grade per a specific class. I’ve heard all nursing applications are reviewed by a human to ensure all these requirements are satisfied.
Thank you for the responses!
