Yes, that sounds right I had trouble too and the office of the registrar gave me the same response.
Can anyone comment about living on campus? I think it seems nice for convenience, but I am hesitant about going back to dorm food. During undergrad I only lived in the dorms my freshman year, but I still shutter when I think about the dining hall food that was required with the housing package. Plus, I ended up not using many of my meals and lost about $300 worth of food that couldn't be refunded. I've gotten so used to going grocery shopping and cooking for myself that it's the one thing holding me back from living on campus. Other than that, it seems like the money is worth the convenience of living on campus and not having to worry about finding parking every day.
Anyone else considering living on campus? I've been told it's best to submit your housing request ASAP since spots are limited. Or, if you are living off campus, what are your reasons?
I applied on May 21 for the program. I called and talked to one of the coordinators, and she said that enrollment this year is more competitive because there are a lot of applicants this year. I come from a non-science background. What are my chances to get in? (Did I apply too late to get accepted?)
for those who are accepted...how are you planning to study for the MCAT?

I have been tossing this question around in my mind for quite some time. Based on the many comments on SDN, it's just not ideal to study for the MCAT while in school. I can't really see how someone can be a full-time student and study for the MCAT 8+ hours per day (if you are trying to study for it in 3-ish months, which is the time frame that the SN2ed plan recommends). I've been thinking about starting with a prep class next summer, and seeing where that gets me. I would prefer to take The Berkeley Review over Kaplan (even with the discount given for CSUEB post-bac students) or Princeton Review, but I still have to do more research on this. For me, just planning to start studying comes with some stress =\
I applied back in Jan, but mycsueb still says initiated... I've sent in my official transcripts in the beginning of Feb. and again in Mar. I've also tried calling the admissions office but they keep telling me that they have either not received the transcripts or not processed it. I've also called the phap office, and they've taken down my info twice and said they would contact me after looking into my app, since it has been almost 5 months... that was 2-3 weeks ago 🙁 Anyone else having a hard time with their application getting through??
So stressed!
Hey Cliff. I turned in my application over a month ago, still waiting...but I have a 3.1 overall GPA and a 2.88 BCMP GPA. What are my chances of getting in? I've also applied to SFSU post bac as well. Thanks. =D
Thanks for the info Cliff. I applied for the AE track at CSU eastbay not this moment, but last month. I know it's a bit late, but it was a month before their deadline. And for SFSU, I am applying for the fall. So I guess it's just a waiting game now. Thanks.
Hey all,
Just submitted my intent to enroll for the CC track this fall. Going to head North and look for housing soon, does anyone know of some good spots for students off campus/is anyone looking for a roommate?
Also, I read on the third page of this thread that enrollment in classes starts June 11th? I talked to someone yesterday cause I was missing the student info link too and they said that I had a scheduled enrollment date for today. Seems like they may have been mistaken, especially considering the enrolled stats for the PHAP classes haven't changed...
Has anyone been able to signup for classes yet?

I just got got accepted into the CSUEB Post Bacc program and I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a deadline for submitting the SIR?

Cliff,
Thanks for the response, that's good to hear. Also, I'm gonna be chatting up a friend who went to school in the area and is still around to get some hints on housing and whatnot. I'm over dorm life from my undergrad and don't plan on revisiting it.
Also, to Member 8888, I submitted my SIR last week so I'm pretty sure the May 1st deadline isn't strictly enforced if that even is the deadline for the PHAP.
I have been told via email by PHAP that the last day to submit your intent to register is July 31.
As for the SFSU post-bac program, I would recommend applying on the very first day that the application opens for the cycle you want to start. Also, I recommend spending some quality time perfecting their required essays to convince them that you will do well in the program. Even though they list minimum requirements, I'm pretty sure you have to compete against students who already have 3.5+'s and are trying to get into MD/pharm/dental school etc. I agree with Cliff in that it's just not fair because the point of a post-bac program is to boost your GPA and/or take all the pre-req's, and people like this need more help than people who have higher GPAs and who could just take a few classes through Open University. Unfortunately I don't think the program completely follow this philosophy, as they told me I wasn't accepted due to my GPA and "needing more science and math courses" (I was a bio major...not sure how many more I could've taken...). Sorry I guess I'm just a little bitter against SFSU, but I don't want to bash it because I know it's a great program. But CSU East Bay seems to be a great program too 🙂
I applied to SFSU program too and was rejected. Was pretty disappointed at the time because of all the time put into that application.
Luckly I had other options and I am happy about how things worked out.
Now I am trying to understand this Financial Aid stuff. I have never done this before so I am a little confused. In my "to do list" on MyCSUEB they want me to fill out this student agreement file and they are asking how many units will I be taking each quarter. Should I wait until after I make my schedule for the fall or should I just fill it out now? I am on the Academic Enhance track and I looked at email that was sent to me and it told me what classes I should sign up for fall 2012 (13 Units in all).
I'm not sure about Winter or Spring yet though.
So Eastbay has all my transcripts, and they said they're now doing a final review of my application. From that point on, how long does it take, roughly, before they come back with an answer? Because my partial transcripts have been in for a while...and how do they notify you? Email? Thanks all. =D
Edit: I got in for fall 2012!!! Do I get an email or something? I'm...not entirely sure what to do from here...and I turned in a FAFSA...but I don't have financial aid? Does that only appear when I accept?
Congratulation! No, you don't get an email. You just check back on my.csueastbay.edu website to see if there are any updates. Once you submit your intent to register which is also done through the website, more information will be available to submit more forms and documents. Financial Aid won't be distributed until Fall Quarter begins. Just regularly check back on the website for more information.

Thanks for always being so helpful! =D
Congratulations, Mika252!What a relief, huh? And yeah, thanks again for all your help, Cliff!
Really appreciate it!
But speaking of financial aid, Mika252, has anybody been able to accept it yet I've tried? I clicked on the "Accept/Decline Awards" button on the Award Summary page, but it won't even check the accept boxes for me, so I'm confused.😕
It's a relief because I've A. Given up on waiting for an interview from the UCs. B. Though I haven't turned in my intent to register since I'm waiting on SF, I'm leaning towards East Bay due to cost. I can commute from home. ^^; C. I'm been in limbo on where I'm going for so long that I felt like I could breathe when I saw the news.
Edit: I do have a question though, for classes, do we only pick after we turn in our intent to register? I'm assuming so, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. xD And only after they get our final transcript? And how...do we even pick classes? The search doesn't really work for me. x_x
Today is my registration date but I am really confused. All the classes I am suppose to sign up for do not show up when I look them up. For example, General Biochemistry and Epidemiology. I am on the academic enhancer track. Am I doing something wrong?
I feel like a college freshman for asking all these questions. -.-" But I see there are two campuses, Concord and Hayward. Is there a case where one campus gets full and you have to take classes at another campus? Because I'd like to stay on Hayward campus. ^^;
Oh okay. Was getting the class number confused with the class section. Thanks Cliff!

great...CHEM 4411 - General Biochemistry is full and I still can't register for class
and the HOLD of official transcript is killing me since my school won't put on graduation date till late July/Mid Aug (I already submitted and they got it)
How to resolve this problem? Anyone have/had similar situation?

Is there a chance you can talk to the office in person? I think a friend of mine did that to make sure all transcripts were in .
yeah it went in, but it just doesn't have my graduation date or degree-post date. The type of transcript with graduation date or degree-post date won't able for us till the 10th week after we graduated.... :'(
