Hello!

I could not find a cohort for Fall 2025, so we can use this!

This was my first semester applying, so for those who applied before and sending in the packing as well, how do you feel about the whole application being fully online?

What points did everyone apply with? I applied with just 70 points. My TEAS score was not the best, but I managed to barely qualify. Let me know how you all did!

My application just turned to eligible so hopefully we find out soon! Good luck everyone 🙂

Mine just changed to eligible too. My last name starts with a Y so maybe I'm one of the last applicants 😂

From my recollection, SCC and ARC both will give themselves 6-8 weeks to look over all the applications they receive. I also seem to recall that they begin changing status of applications at around 6-7 weeks. As I write this, that window is open. This early on, you DO want to see an "eligible" status... once they've gone through all the applications, then the decisions start getting made. That'll probably be in about a week or so from now.

Best of luck to all of you!!

Really! That's awesome but nerve wrecking at the same time... Does anyone know how many applicants to they accept? And how many go on the alternatives list?
