I already applied for Nursing at SJSU for Fall 2012 and I am just waiting for the acceptance/nonacceptance now. I am beyond stress and worried that I might now get in because I am competing with so many smart applicants. I impaction is extremely low, its a 10.08, and usually the cut off are around 10.02-10.10, so I am basically at the cut off point. I am proud of my impaction score because I know that I did the BEST I could, but the problem is maybe my best isn't enough. I really want to focus on my current classes right now, but I find it extremely hard while I wait for my possible denied letter. I don't have an option B career, nursing has been the only thing I wanted to do ever since I was little, so if I don't get in, i'll be extremely disappointed and depressed. I contacted the nursing committee to ask them when they will be sending out the acceptance/denied letters, and they said they would be sending letters out the first week of May. Waiting is really tiring. I okay to wait if you know you have a high impaction score and have a high chance of getting in the nursing program, but if you have a low impaction score like me; in the range of being cut off, it's really nerve racking. I really hope someone understands what I am going through, because I it's really hard to express with words how I am feeling right now. Thank you guys. I appreciate any advices/input! What was the lowest impaction score that got into the nursing program your semester?
its looks like you got it right because people who get pending letters are just below the impaction cutoff, and the cutoff is a 10.20. That's waht it says in my rejection letter.
It just says that the initial cutoff is a 10.20; just to be clear I got a rejection letter, and the only way I will get accpeted is if 10 people drop out because I number 10 on the list. Since you got a pending letter, you are next in line to get an acceptance (dont know what number you are, but you are next), no you are probably in the 1-4.
For what it's worth, I'm a transfer student and I haven't accepted my spot yet (just waiting for some other schools). I believe there was another girl on this board who said she might not take her spot if she decides to go somewhere else. So there's hope!
Thank you so much seahelleyes! you don't know much that means to me. Even if my chances are slim, i will continue to pray and hope to get in. it's just so stressful. Do you live in San Jose seashell?
what other schools did you apply too? are they closer to where you live or far? Do you know when you will be hearing from them, since you only have one more week to answer SJSU. (you have until next week right?)
No, SJSU is the closest. :) I'll hear from SDSU this upcoming week and Sac State on the 30th. I have until May 2nd to respond to San Jose though.
Does the background check have to be done by the 2nd? I heard it takes a week to get it back. So we really only have till Tuesday or Wednesday to decide.

Teas V, you divide by 23.
Teas+ 5 prerec's+ last 30 units= impaction score.
