I applied to CCBC's nursing program for spring 2011 and did not get accepted. I have reapplied for this fall and am anxiously waiting to see what will happen this time.
My question is... Did you or someone you know have to apply to CCBC more than twice to get accepted? I just want to hear some thoughts on this. My reason for rejection was a low TEAS score. Anyone who has read my other threads knows, I took TEAS 4 and passed. When I took TEAS V last time I didn't do good on it at all (it truly was my fault, I assumed it would be more similar to TEAS 4 than it was). I was told by several CCBC staff members not to worry about my low TEAS V score because they would just accept my passing score on TEAS 4. Well, that did not happen. They didn't even consider my TEAS 4 because I took the updated version. Anyway, moving forward; I retook TEAS V and got a proficient score. Now I am worried proficient will not be good enough. I have all B's in my sciences, a couple of A's, mostly B's, and 1 C in speech.
Good Luck studentRN2B! and everyone else be tortured by this ordeal!!! I have heard so many stories, after thinking about it for awhile I think everyone that I heard of being rejected were eventually excepted after improving their grades, retaking a class or two. I can't remember anyone saying they got in because they retook the TEAS exam. Just FYI for whatever its worth.
LOL, it is worth a lot! This message board is the only thing keeping me from driving my husband crazy! I vent on here; not so much to him (he dosn't know what I am talking about anyway).
I vent to my husband and he just listens. He thinks I'm crazy for worrying too much but it's people like him who don't realize and/or know just how competitive the program is. It's hard to get into, it's not some "apply and you're accepted right away" deal just because it's a community college.
But yes, by the time this is all over, I'll definitely need a drink!
I spoke with the Dean, Lois Simmons, last week and the first thing they are looking at is the "highest TEAS sores." Once they get the TEAS scores in line they are looking at GPA.
Well, to anyone who reads this in the future, CCBC does NOT take into consideration how many times you applied. I got rejected twice for Essex day program.
We'll buy the entire bar.
