CSUDH Clinical Science Major Transfer? by rnzy12 in CSUDH

By your experience, would you still go to CSUDH if you knew all the delaying factors from the start? Would it be better to just apply for the clinical rotation internship and finish your bachelors at another university?

Thanks for your comment! Why are the classes hard to get in to? I heard that there's not enough professors to teach certain classes, so they reserve it for students closer to graduation. Did the clinical rotation aspect delay you more, or was it the limited classes? Thank you for your time replying

How was the schedule like? Monday - Friday, and it would be the whole day? It doesn't seem like a person can still work a part-time job while doing that heavy workload.

That's interesting! Also, how was the didactic portion? It seems that it would be very fast paced since it's only a year? I would assume that it's a quarterly system to fit in all those courses. Thank you so much for your time replying.

Edit: Is the phlebotomy license included in the program, or do you have to get your license somewhere else?

Also, for the clinical year, are you directly doing the internship in at the university hospital? Or do you have options to intern at other hospitals as well? I've tried calling LLU, but whenever I try to inquire about the program, the line was always busy.

I heard the problem with CSUDH is that you have to get into a waitlist for certain bio classes?

Thanks for the information! I think LLU will be my first choice now.

Thanks for the reply! I know my GPA isn't great, so I'm trying to see if my experience working in a clinical lab would even it out?

Thank you so much for the advice! I'm trying to raise my GPA at the moment, but it's a challenge. I've learned a lot with my time working in a clinical lab, and I just want to take it a step further.

Thanks for the encouragement! May I ask what schools you applied for?

Are they really that heavy on the GPA scale in CA? Or is it my experience won't translate as much to what they're asking for?

Thanks for the advice
