College of the Desert Fall 2015 Applications

[RatchedRN80]

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.

@dacer.. That's great! Do you already take classes at their campus? I'm waiting for my school that I have taken my classes at to send their invites out I wonder if that matters if your already enrolled there or not

[dacer]

@mrspz. Yes I took all my prereq and science classes @ the campus. It matters if you are enrolled because there is a equivalent points if you completed 12 units.

Oh man! The total amount of applicants that applied is low, so that is in our favor, however the high points will make it a tough competition. I'm nervous. I haven't received anything yet. Anyone else get an email or a letter in the mail?

[RatchedRN80, BSN, RN]

Thanks for all the helpful info @jennnydoll. Did this other person that received 65 points get an email of acceptance as well or a letter?

[mrspz]

I haven't gotten anything but I haven't even taken my teas yet I'm going to in May with the school I took my pre reqs at so I don't necessarily expect anything especially if the points were high but if I receive anything I'll let you know

[dacer]

I have 63 points, I just need 62 percent on the TEAS to raise my total points to 68.

[mrspz]

I'm sure your in! They will prb just want you to send in your results after you take it :)

[dacer]

I hope that I'll get in this time. I already lose hope when I missed the first invitation a year ago.

[mrspz]

Aww I'll be rooting for you! You got this. :)

Has anyone else heard anything? I keep checking my mail for a letter.

[mrspz]

Me too but nothing :/ the website says by May 15th so I'm sure there's still time
