CCBC Spring 2017

Published

Ok so I am taking a big chance hear and gearing up to apply for the RN program for Spring 2017. Its a big chance because I still need Human Anatomy 1 & 2 and microbiology. Im taking two of these classes next fall. My gpa right now is a 3.05 and I am planning on taking my teas at the end of June. Im hoping my extracurricular activities like me doing medical missions trips and my work experience(I work in a hospital) will be looked at when entering. Also I plan on scoring really high on the teas test. Ive been studying my butt off non stop with the teas test book. I know its a slim chance because i haven't finished my sciences yet but I am hopeful. What are everyone else's credentials? scores? gap? if you have them!

To retake it has to be 31 day so eventually I will just for my own sake, but for this app cycle it's over my app is in transcript are in I'm just waiting for the deadline and decision now I anticipated for fall 2017 anyway but Gwyn Degner the Ccbc catonsville advisor said I should apply to program because of my grades I did everything late took teas on 8/13 and didn't allow myself time for retake.I was really confident in myself and I still am just gotta wait, if I hear anything about updates as far as the spring 2017 will def keep you posted thanks again.

Perhaps you could contact Ms.Degner and see what she says about your reading TEAS score. She may have more insight about it

I would say the science section is the most random section on the test compared to the others so that would be the most challenging. I got a 88.1% in reading, 86.7% in math, 85.4% in science, and 90% in English and language usage. You however, might do better in the science section. You will know your weakness after you take the practice test.

Nice scores! I'm actually take the TEAS next week. Any specific study materials you used to prepare for the TEAS... Especially for the science portion?

Thanks. I just studied the ATI guide and took as many practice tests as I could. My Bachelor's degree was in Biology, so I have a stronger science background. However, I will say the first pretest I took, I got a 60% so studying and the tests definitely helped.

Okay thanks slot for the tips, it just the point of waiting I emailed her today so I will wait for response I just don't want them to overlook my application because of one score.

Have faith. I am surprised there isn't more people that have said they are applying for the spring.

So did you only take the 2 practice tests that are inside the ATI study manual?

Hi everyone, im really concern about my gpa. It's 2.7 and my teas is 84 and 81 in reading and I applied to CCBC only. Do you guys know anyone who got accepted into Ccbc with this low gpa? I have all Cs in my sciences and A in psychology so idk how it's going to help. But I really wanna start this spring.

Which location are you applying to? I spoke with Mrs. Jones and she said in spring 2015 or 2016 the lowest gpa they took was 2.65. So i would say you have a chance. Also, I emailed her today because my CAS gpa is a lot lower than the GPA her and I had calculated in her office. She reassured me that they do not go by the CAS GPA.

I'm applying to Ccbc Catonsville. Who's Mrs jones? And what's her number? And I repeated my science classes. Both of them so I hope cas won't count that ow my gpa will be less than require one

Oh ok. Mrs. Jones is at Essex. Catonsville has another lady incharge of advising for Nursing. You should reach out to her. I don't call Mrs. Jones. I go to her office or email her. They don't use CAS GPA. They take the highest grade you have for each pre-req and calculate the gpa that way.

Ah I'm glad now thanks a lot for the info. Just want to make sure which pre req do they count except bio 110,220,221,230 and psychology 101,103 and statistics?
