JJC 2013 Spring Nursing Applicants ? - Page 4

My scores have been loaded as well. Also hoping we all get in! I'm so ready for this.

So another step completed...grades are uploaded!! I have to be honest, since I noticed my scores were uploaded I have been stalking my email....I really want that accepted email.....and SOON!!!!! I am thinking 2 more weeks too but the sooner the better so I can breathe again!!

I hope we all get in as well...we all have the same drive and determination!! Fingers crossed for everyone!

I gave my Teas on September 26, 2012 -- I believe that was the last day to take TEAS. I got a 74.7 composite score and 78 on my reading. I completed all my pre-requisites and have a 3.6 GPA. I am not sure how the odds are given the less amount of applicants and my average scores. I pray I make it.

I just want to add with last semesters "lowest acceptance score", there were a lot of applicants who declined their spot into the JJC program (due to acceptance into another Nursing Program, or other life events) so what the department did was go down the list and start calling people (in order of their "rank") until all spots were filled up. So those scores aren't much of a refection of how well the last class did.... Just wanted to let you guys know. Those who had a lower score and got an "acceptance call" were the lucky ones and their acceptance wasn't really based on their score but of open seats in the program - and from what I heard it was a rare occurance.

Good Luck to you all!

ALSO!!
Along with the whole getting away from the "drama", if you are fortunate you will find life long friends within your groups - but there are always going to be people like that everywhere.
I was fortunate enough to be paired up with the most awesome clinical group! We are organized, friendly, helpful, and drama-free. I can't say the same for all the groups though. We even formed a study group, and we collaborate AMAZINGLY!!

raqi89 ~ Thank you for the input! I hope to find a group as positive as yours!

Does anyone know if they send rejection emails as well as acceptance ones? That would stink to see people getting accepted and have an empty mailbox.

Thanks for the info Raqui! I agree that study groups are awesome and you gain friendships from them as well.

PurplePRN-- my email said we would receive an email stating we were either accepted or rejected. Trying to stay patient!

YES, YOU WILL GET AN EMAIL EITHER WAY---SAYING YOU ARE ACCEPTED OR SAYING "DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF QUALIFIED APPLICANTS YOU WERE NOT ACCEPTED i WAS HOPING TODAY WAS THE DAY, BUT NOTHING YET....


LOL, TRYING TO BE PATIENT TOO.... BUT IT SO ISN'T WORKING OUT THAT WAY

So I hear it will be this Friday or beginning of next week but we should def know by Tuesday. Fingers crossed. Don't forget to register for classes between now and then if you are able because if u plan on going to another school for associate or bachlors they usually want more classes to be taken. So either way we can keep pushing forward. Good luck everyone.

How do you get all this great info? LOL! Thanks for sharing!

I'm actually not worried about it anymore. I had a life event happen in the last couple weeks that really put things into perspective. So either way, I'll accept what it is with grace. Okay.......so I will be a bit let down if I don't get in, but, not laying in bed crying all day depressed like I may have been three weeks ago. I know I'll be an excellent nurse, and I will get there one way or another.

OMG--I really hope to know by next Monday. I keep stalking my email hoping for something...just so I know if I am in or not. This whole process has had me on edge! I definitely have it planned to register too...if I do not get in I will take my only pre-req class left which is Microbiology and then I don't know what else to take with it, but I definitely want to take two classes. I will take a class towards my BSN!

Can't wait to hear who got in!!!!!
