Applying for Cuesta College RN Program for Fall 2012

Published

I am going to be taking my physiology and microbiology prerequisite in next Fall and Spring, and applying Summer 2011 to get into the nursing program at Cuesta college for fall 2012. They keep changing the requirements to get in. From what I heard they are going to look at my GPA which they have been doing and will look at other criteria. What other criteria will they be looking at? Is anyone else applying to an impacted program and know the specific criteria impacted programs look at?

Did you find the information you needed? It's posted on the allied health page at Cuesta. They don't have what the next year's evaluation techniques will be but they have the previous year's admission criteria.

Grades in science & math & english

TEAS score

extra languages

experience

etc

I applied also... waiting for March to arrive for those notifications. I'm worried my score wasn't very high. I'm curious to know what scores were admitted to last years class. Any current students lurking around?

Someone that I don't know well at all told me that her friend was 5th on the application period wait list with a score of 85 a couple years ago.

That strikes me as maybe suspect... it's hard to say, though.

I got a letter from Cuesta nursing a week or so ago letting me know what they determined my admission score was ... I was so sure when I saw the return address that it would be more significant news!

I am also applying.. My score was low also :( I've been trying to figure out the same thing.

Has anyone heard how many applicants they got this year? I'm really worried I wont get in, I only have 3.4 GPA so I just don't think that will do it.

Ms Chia, hope you read this. I tried to PM you back but the system won't let me because it say I haven't been active enough on here.

I did get in to Cuesta. I hope the college pulls through the accreditation mumbo jumbo. Did they tell you what position you are on the wait list? I hope you make it in too!

Wow. Well, I'm further north and haven't received anything in the mail. Probably not a good sign for me. Thanks for sharing the info though. At least I'll know what to expect.
