Is anyone else applying elsewhere??

I am also applying for Shoreline CC and submitted my application already. Finger crossed!

Annkat, can you share how you studied for the TEAS? Might be great advice for my sis, she's applying for Winter. Thanks!

Did you, guys, get any updates? Three days ago, I got an email saying that my application had been forwarded to the Admission Committee for review and I should hear from them by mid-April.

I used the current ati book for TEAS and studied all chapters for about a month. When there was something to memorize (e.g. math or chem formula), I wrote it down on a sticky note and looked at it whenever I could. A few days before my test appointment, I went through the two tests at the end of the book. I timed myself, just like they advise in the book. I took the actual TEAS twice. The first time I got 86%, but I felt I could have done better and also wanted to have better chances for the fall semester. Before my second try, I went through the book tests again, tried to recall the questions from the actual test and researched the answers. I also found this page with free tests:

Free Practice Test for the TEAS

I know some people buy those practice test questions from ati site, but I thought I'd already invested more than enough in this testing business. I just tried to find as much free info as possible. It turned out to be enough to get 91% on the second try.

The only thing I regret is not applying to the part-time program. I found out too late.

I'm in the Fall Cohort! The letter I got is dated April 1st, hope it's not a joke

I received my letter yesterday for Fall 2016! WAHOO! Good luck everyone. Also, don't panic if it takes a few days to get to you, I live five minutes away from the school.

Thanks for the very helpful tips, AnnKat!!

And I'm also in the Fall cohort! Congrats to everyone! :) :)

annkat · Apr 4, 2016

Congrats, guys! And good luck to the others! See you at the orientation! :)

Melissa121 · Apr 4, 2016

Congrats guys!!!! I'm #5 on the wait list for Fall so I'm crossing my fingers I get in!!

MacHead4Life · Apr 5, 2016

Hey everyone, congratulations! I am #6 on the wait list for fall!! @Melissa121, I hope at least few other applicants find positions at other schools so we can join in the celebration! What do you think the probability is of getting to the 6th position on the wait list? I've heard of some years going all the way to 12, but that seems a bit rare...

Good luck everyone! Very nervous!

I just got accepted for fall quarter. Good luck guys!

Melissa121 · Apr 21, 2016

MacHead4Life I think the chances are pretty good, at least from what I saw from previous years. I would assume many people applying to BC also applied to other places, so hopefully we have a good chance once those school's send out letters! I wonder when we will find out! I'm very nervous as well!

Melissa121 and MacHead4Life, those who got their acceptance letters have till April 29th to confirm and pay $50 deposit, otherwise their spot will be taken, so I guess the wait-listed candidates will find out soon. Good luck!
