CCBC Spring 2022

looking for advice/comparison

I applied to the day program for the fall of 23 and as -I'm sure most have you experienced, am very anxious as we await their response. My GPA is 3.2, TEAS overall score is 86, math-91, reading-95, science-82, and english-79. I received an A in Bio, C in A&P 1, and B in A&P 2. My worry is that I do not have Micro completed on my application as I am expecting a daughter and wanted to wait until the Summer to take it. I've spoken with advisors that say I have a good chance for acceptance; however I wanted some input from previous applicants to see if they were accepted with similar (or lower) grades and TEAS scores. Any advice is appreciated!!

I had an 86 on TEAS (this is a really good score actually, I was pleasantly shocked to hear this). Basically I was in a weird situation where I completely bombed my first two semesters and was expelled from ccbc a few years ago due to health reasons/not being able to show up. I had to retake a lot of my prereqs and took English 3 times (2 Fs and an A). My ccbc GPA got back up to 3.6 by the time I applied and I hadn't taken micro or A&P2 yet, however I only had 2 Bs in A&P1 and bio. SHP claims they look at the overall GPA of all coursework attempted, so that really freaked me out because I would've been at like 2.5. I got in anyway (not sure if they can check midterm grades for in progress courses? But I did well in micro and a&p2 as well). If you are enrolled in micro in the Summer and are applying for the fall, I would say you have a fair chance. I would also say it 100% wouldn't hurt to retake A&P1 though, that's really your only possible pitfall on your application due to how important A&P is in nursing. Dr. Dubowy at the Dundalk campus is amazing and made A&P 10x less scary. Best of luck to ya!
