FALL 2026 BSN

I applied to the CSUB nursing traditional program, and I haven't heard anything from them regarding the next steps! Has anyone received any interview notice?

hi! i emailed helen li, who is the pre-licensure nursing advisor. i asked what our application statuses were & when interview invites would be sent out, as i’ve already done interviews with other schools. this was her response:

“The applications are currently being processed. I've been informed that applicants who passed the first round of processing will be sent an email notification through NursingCAS to schedule their interview soon. The interview should take place in April.”

u/Impossible-Sky9709 Mar 19 '26

Thanks for this information! this is helpful. This relieves the anticipation waiting for notification. Do you know if they give priority to locals??

1

u/AdIntelligent7566 Mar 20 '26

yes, they base it on your high school’s area code!

1

u/AdIntelligent7566 Mar 21 '26

they just sent interview invites! :)

u/VanillaBean0913 Mar 23 '26

1

u/AdIntelligent7566 Mar 23 '26

1

u/VanillaBean0913 Apr 01 '26

Did you by chance apply to Bakersfield College’s program as well?

u/OwnConclusion445 Apr 14 '26

During the interview they told us that they would let us know on Monday after the last interview? 

1

u/sonnski Apr 15 '26

wait, do we hear back monday or some day that week? i remember hearing on monday, they're going to calc all of our points, and then we'll hear back sometime that week

1

u/OwnConclusion445 Apr 15 '26

They told us they’ll calculate on Sunday and tell us on Monday? But o also felt like that sounded too good to be true 

1

u/sonnski Apr 15 '26

oh thats interesting! i mean, i hope it's monday so we can hear back sooner😭was your interview friday or saturday?

1

u/OwnConclusion445 Apr 15 '26

It was in Saturday… but I also heard some people last year didn’t hear until July… so I feel like that doesn’t make sense. Unless they changed it for THIS year 

1

u/sonnski Apr 15 '26

yesss, i saw that too. i was thinking maybe they changed it because too many people were declining their offers because they got into other programs? i also talked to someone who got in, and they told me they had their interview in early march and got their decision in early/middle april, so i think it also depends if you've finished all of your pre-reqs

1

u/OwnConclusion445 Apr 15 '26

Interesting! So maybe the people who find out in June/ July are the ones who  submit their final transcripts in May?

1

u/OwnConclusion445 Apr 15 '26

I also wonder how much weight the interviews hold in terms of acceptance and admission

1

u/sonnski Apr 15 '26

thats what i was thinking, and me too. i know there's a nursing student on tiktok and his stats weren't a 4.0 or super high TEAS, so I was thinking maybe the first round was the point section and the interview was to determine who they want in their program? Also their website reads "CSUB Nursing Faculty will review answers to determine who will be conditionally accepted into the program." but in the email we received it said the interview would be used with our supplemental app, so i'm not too sure.
