@sdsunursing: You have a competitive EI but I have seen acceptances anywhere from the low 4300’s EI for local applicants to rejections with EI’s of 4700 in the last 2 years. With such a competitive major and low acceptance rate, there is no way to predict, Sorry…
Has anyone heard anything about pre-hospitality/management yet? My son hasn’t… Also, could you hear of a decision over the weekend? Thanks! Good luck everyone!
@mamaponesy I have a friend who applied to HTM, and she hasn’t heard yet! My guess would be that decisions aren’t released over the weekend, since most admissions staff will not be in the office. Good luck to your son
Congrats @mollylancaster!! I heard Nursing is super competitive. What was your SAT/ACT score?
Omg im so nervous! A lot of my friends have heard from SDSU and I haven’t! I’m a local who applied as a Psych major. My SAT is 1230, GPA 3.58 and EI 4134 I think. What do you guys think???
@catbird1 thanks so much for the info… I guess we just wait then!
When did you get accepted? @mollylancaster
@mamaponesy I applied for pre-hospitality/management and was accepted back in December and invited to apply to the Honors college. I know this info probably isn’t too helpful, but I wish your son the best of luck!
@schoolofrocks Thanks for letting me know! I really appreciate it. This was kind of a reach for him, He has a UC 3.6 and 24 ACT. He did get into Cal Poly so he’s really glad about that. Thanks again for sharing, and good luck at San Diego State, its wonderful!

Has anyone heard back about pre-athletic training? Mine is still pending
Many of my friends got accepted this past wednesday are they just waiting to send out rejections now?
does anyone have an idea on when nursing majors will hear about acceptances?
^ nevermind! i just got admitted a few minutes ago!!!
@nurse8991 congrats!!! that’s amazing!

Decision: Accepted

does anyone know if we will receive an acceptance letter in the mail or is this it?
They’ll probably email us an electronic one… (That’s what Fullerton did for me). Over the moon for myself! I thought for sure I’d get rejected since nursing is so competitive!
