City College of San Francisco Spring 2020

[FutureRN]

Hi everyone! I applied for the spring 2020, just wanted to start a discussion to see who else applied. Curious to know the points you got when calculating and just support eachother through this process. To my calculations I scored about 38 points before the TEAS. Not sure if I used the correct points though. Good luck, everyone!

Haven’t taken the teas yet as it wasn’t required to apply. Was it super easy or suuuuper hard?

[Dardarbinkss]

It’s not that bad. If you’re a good test taker you'll have no problem, fairly simple math, I’d just make sure you know your body system/hormones well

Thanks! I’m worried about the simple math.

[Dardarbinkss]

I would focus studying on basic conversions like converting a fraction to a decimal (divided top from bottom) turning a decimal into a fraction, basic conversions stuff like that. It won’t be like intense chemistry conversions but some grams to milligrams and visa versa stuff like that. I’m not great at math but I didn’t find it that challenging, but if you think it’ll be a weaker spot I would focus studying on that. To be honest, English was the hardest part for me.

Would anyone else be planning on commuting from the north bay?? Say Santa Rosa area??

I know this is a CCSF thread, but I just wanted to know, are private school nursing programs as impacted as community and states? or do you think applicants at privates are more likely to get in, just have to pay high tuition for the school.

I think they’re also still impacted...for example I was looking into Dominican university in San Rafael (I have a 3.6 gpa) and they say applicants need a min of a 3.2 gpa but then the counselor said realistically they only take people with 3.8 or higher and over 80% on teas... so I think it’s still going to be competitive

Hey guys!

I also applied to this program and got asked to send my TEAS score (I also sent mine in early so I was a little scared that they hadn't received, but confirmed twice it was sent). I'm super stoked and pray everyone who is posting here gets in!

Hopefully we hear back in about a week or two from the 18th. When I called I thought I heard December from ***** but older posts on here and from what everyone is saying seems to falsify that statement. I'll let you guys know if I get anything/don't! I'm super anxious!

Good luck!

Hi RNdesdewitt!

I hope we allll get in too ?? the anxiety is killing us all lol.

Did you just get a letter in the mail, or email as well?

[Dardarbinkss]

Did anyone apply from the Santa Rosa area??? Super worried about the commute

[desdewitt, ASN]

Hello Tema!

I got both - the email was more straight-to-the-point than the letter! I was super confused whether it meant it was a conditional enrollment or not when I opened my mail. I even printed out the email just to be a reminder that, yes, the process is moving onward! So much anxiety guys x-D. I stay over in the East Bay by the way - Hayward - if anyone is close by!

[tema9221]

RNdesdeweitt, Right! It was straight forward but not at the same time, lol. I was curious to know because maybe some people got emails and some didn't, only receiving letters in the mail. Or vice versa. So I wasn't too sure. But I'm hopeful with the email! Although I don't want to get my hopes up, lol. I really hope we found out next week.
