College of the Desert Fall 2015 Applications

Published

Hi Everyone, I am starting a thread for those that have applied to College of the Desert's Fall 2015 Nursing Program. They are accepting apps from March 1- March 20th. I just finished mine. I am on the low end of the spectrum as far as points go because I didn't do great on the TEAS-70% :( My total amount of points were 45. I am hoping that any other applicants out there will post and share their experience so we can all be able to see the point range of applicants this period and see who gets accepted and who does not. I think it is very helpful for those of us trying to get in. Please share your point total and if you receive a spot or if you get any emails from COD. Also share if you find out how many applicants there are or if you hear what the point range is this period. As you all know, every application period is different because COD bases who gets in off of the amount of applicants and their point totals. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! Remember, if you don't get in- keep applying. This is a very competitive field but just keep the faith and don't give up. :nurse:

Hey!! Welcome! :) we are all in the same boat ! Where did you find that information about May 15? That's so soon! I thought it wouldn't be until June

Hi mrspz, I just looked and on CODs nursing website and they posted an update saying letters will be sent out May 15th. Much earlier than expected, indeed! I'm excited and very nervous.

I dunno! Good question, I may just call and ask some questions. I would love to know what the average amount of points were. Maybe it happened fast because they didn't have very many applicants! We can only hope- it would give us a better chance at getting in!

I called the admissions and records and they said there were 135/136 applicants total this time around. She said one of the applicants had the highest points which was 90.

My classmate had 80 points, but she has previous experience in another health field, scored around an 80% on the TEAS exam and has good grades ^_^
