@Bee123 Hey there, so I ended up getting a confirmation email like a day after I had accepted. When did you hit accept ? For me, October 31st was the last day for me to accept. Was yours at a later date?

Hi guys, I have not received any email are they still sending them out ? I'm guessing I was not accepted.

I received the email last Tuesday, but I am unsure about the alternates list emails.  Hopefully someone who received alternate status could give us some info.  Did you apply to any other programs ?  Sac State is releasing their emails to applicants on the 13th, so just a heads up.

I applied for SCC last semester and did receive a letter of rejection from them, so just incase you wonder if they send emails, they did send me one.  I will say their physical hand in of all the application stuff was a bit annoying haha but hopefully they switch to online applications.  Sierra I didn't get to apply to, so I have no idea how theirs is.  

What do you need to improve your points for the CSUS application? Do you get the optional criteria as well? those helped me alot thankfully they were available.

Yeah I've heard the application annoying hopefully it does go online. For csus 3 B and not a high enough TEAS got me. Got a B in psychology, stats, chemistry. Everything else was A's. TEAS I got a 82% on my third attempt and csus only allows 3 attempts in 5 years. Honestly am more preparing to apply in February I don't think I got into ARC. It is my first time applying to a nursing program though.

Even with omitting 2 courses? don't give up and know that my dream was to join a nursing program back in 2010 for it to only be crushed at a seminar. and now I am back and taking back my dream, so with the grades you mentioned, im sure applying to all 3 local CC programs will give you a larger opportunity to get admitted 👍🏻

if you need any tips on improving your TEAS , I can offer what I did for myself. with only 3 months of prep.

Just got an email from ARC on information for the next steps. Anyone else?

I just got an acceptance letter from Sac State's nursing program, but I've also been accepted into ARC and I'm not sure which one to pick. Do you guys have any suggestions?

[OhThatsABaseball]

@Benjamin Hirsch hey I was on the same boat, If you want DM me and we can talk more about what your thoughts are.
