I realized on the day they made calls that I had never changed my phone number with the limited entry office when I got a new cell phone. So I called to change my number, and she told me she couldn't do that because they were too busy that day. Then I asked if I got in, and she said no. I asked what the lowest points they accepted was and she said 24. I applied with a 24. So I asked why I wasn't admitted, DUH it was a lottery for those with 24 points. I guess my luck was not with me LOL. But some people are saying they were notified that they would be an alternate. She told me there were 10 students with a 24, and they had 2 spots left for 24 points. So that leaves 8 of us with a 24 and why would they only inform SOME people they were an alternate? I would think the fair thing to do would be to wait until people drop or decline and then choose from those 8 in a lottery style. I guess they have their system but it just seems unfair. I don't know everything, though. I'm just a little disappointed. This is my second time applying. I have all pre-reqs finished besides Micro, which I am taking now. I scored in the 99th percentile overall for my TEAS. I have been a CNA for 5 years and I even went to Medical magnet school. I have been doing jobs in the medical field since I was 16. It's frustrating because I know I'm ready and I feel like I'm more than qualified but I have gotten rejected twice already. I know I'll get in next semester, at least I would hope so with 29 points next time because I will have completed Micro. But now I have to retake the TEAS and go through this waiting game for the 3rd time! AHHH . Well congratulations and good luck to you all who were accepted! I wish you the best!

On the CSN website when you click on TEAS exam information...it says that TEAS exam results are good for 5 yrs. You should not have to take it again especially with that high of a score. I did not get in either, but had very low points and knew it was a long shot. I am doing the same thing and reapplying after I finish 224 and Micro. which I am in now. I will have 31 pts. for the Fall. We will both get in for the Fall....keep good thoughts.

I'm not insinuating anything but I'm curious. Are u sure you didn't miscalculate? How can you just have 24 total points with a 99 percentile on the TEAS? I mean w/ that score alone, it's an easy 4 or 5 points. You also said you're just missing BIOL 251 (which you're taking right now for a good extra 5 points for fall '10). Maybe it's a GPA issue, that's why you didn't get in this time? Maybe CSN looks at GPA also? especially w/ a tie on points?
