I’m currently a first-year at CSULB in pre-nursing. I know that our nursing program is extremely competitive and nearly all students who get accepted have straight A’s. I also know that transferring to another school for nursing will be just as difficult simply because of how competitive nursing is in general.
I’m taking one of the science pre-reqs for LB’s program right now, which is worth 5 units vs the 4 units for the remaining 3 science pre-reqs, so it makes sense that all the advisors emphasize the importance of doing well in the course. I have a B in the class and will most likely finish with a B; I’d need 340/300 on the final to get an A.
My question is, assuming I do extremely well in the remaining 3 science courses and get A’s, would I have a decent shot of getting into the LB nursing program? Or would I have a better chance of getting into another program, such as UCI or a private school (APU maybe)? I’ve heard that transferring to other schools’ programs is extremely difficult because they prioritize CC students over CSU.
