Hello everyone,
I have just applied to Bellevue College for Fall 2012/Winter 2013 and I just want to hear from anyone who has also applied there. What are your TEAS scores? Do you guys know when we will hear back regarding acceptance/ rejection letters? Is Bellevue College your first choice or are you guys spreading out your applications to other schools?
Oh, please don't assume the worst, Fishgirl! For fear of sounding extremely nerdy, I will just say that through standard deviation, especially with the results from last year's cohorts who got in (thanks statistics!), the average scores that will be accepted this year should not vary too much from the accepted TEAS scores last year.
What really worries me is being disqualified because I did not get a high enough grade from the e-write ...that really has me scared.
By the way, I am now just trying to go online to look up writing guides for essay exams. Next week, I plan to write an essay a day and have my family members and friends critique them with the same rubric as those given out by Compass. I hope I will be prepared enough for that test.
Are you guys also starting to write mock essays to prepare?
Fishigirl, I wouldn't worry about your score. I went to an info session a couple of months ago and a girl asked if her current TEAS score (90%) was good, and asked if taking it again was worth it. Both the presenters stopped her immediately and told her not to take it because her score was plenty high, and taking it again would just be a waste of money. So considering their thinking a 90% is basically automatic admission, I think we're all safe. I also recall from either the info session or the thread for last year that the lowest score admitted was around an 85%.

Sounds like a big chunk of the applicants will be accepted then (a third of the overall applicants? not sure on exact number). And from the scores everyone has shared here, it seems like we're all in good shape. :)
