[EMSLady]

I thought I would start this thread so we can exchange information and experiences while applying to the Bellevue College nursing program! I saw that forums have been created for previous years and have been helpful for those applying!

Hi guys. I'm a first quarter nursing student at BC. My TEAS score was 85.3. From what I've heard, that was probably the lowest without being wait listed. We did pick up a lot of students of the wait list though, right up until a few weeks before class started. I took my NAC training at BC and it really helped me a lot with this quarter. If you have questions I can help with (unofficially of course) I'll peak in from time to time. Good luck!

Hi Jaycam!

Thanks for sharing this! I'm not too stressed out anymore haha! Tho I know it still doesn't guarantee me getting in.

Got in with an 84 on my teas! Good luck everyone! Excited to meet everyone!

Hiiiiii What was your Pre-req and overall Gpa??? I have 86% on my TEAS and around 3.62 pre-req and 3.29 overall GPA and I'm freaking out, I'm applying for Fall 2016!!!

You may want to study and retake the TEAS if you can. A higher score on the TEAS would improve your chances, especially if you want fall entry. You did pretty well, but higher is better. I had a 85.3 myself and ended up Winter entry my year... but it can change from year to year.

So I am applying for winter, I got an 91.3 on my teas but only have a 3.37.... I am nervous. I have to take my compass e-write. Does anyone have any tips for taking that test.

[jessemariano]

There really isn't any way to prepare. Just remember how to structure an essay and you should be fine. A score of 8 or above is very attainable. I haven't heard of anyone not getting in because they couldn't pass the compass.

Thank you!

Did anyone write a personal statemnet when applying. I am thinking about writting one but not sure it it would be effective.

Hey everyone, I'm not attending, but have read the admissions materials. Please enter the registration code this week, if you intend on enrolling in the program, and pay the registration fee. Remember it is due by the end of this week.

Hey guys,

So I read through this thread to try to get a better idea of how BC accepts nursing students. I have around a 3.2 GPA (not the most competitive...) but if I do well (around 90) on my test scores, you're saying I can still be accepted because that's what BC focuses on?

Thanks!
