akuzihs Apr 14, 2015 Hi I applied also, and waiting to hear from them. Someone told me it is this week or the next….! Fingers crossed! 0 Likes
ahaulot Apr 15, 2015 I tried emailing them to ask how many people applied, but I never got a response. Waiting is the hardest part!Did you apply anywhere else? 0 Likes
akuzihs Apr 16, 2015 I go to the College of Marin and took all my prereqs, so I know about 10 people who are also applying here. I think someone said that there were a lot of applicants this year, but I don't know the number. Yes it is the hardest waiting!I only applied Sonoma State, but I didn't get in. I really didn't have an intention to go there since it's a long commute, but the news still disappointed me! Did you applied anywhere else? 0 Likes
ahaulot Apr 16, 2015 So then you know a lot about their program I'm guessing. I like that they take a smaller amount of students. Last year I heard about 150 students applied so I hope it's not too much more than that. I really hope I get in!I took all of my classes at the SRJC. I applied to COM, SRJC, CCSF and Glendale community college. I know that CCSF gets a lot of applications plus their nclex pass rate isn't the best. We should be hearing soon though. I'm pretty nervous! 0 Likes
akuzihs Apr 16, 2015 Yea it is nerve-recking! I know someone who got in last year with a number in 80s, and she told me that she finally heard that she's in the program in July. I hope I don't have to wait that long! 0 Likes
ahaulot Apr 16, 2015 Wow, that's horrible! And this was at COM? I hope we get lucky this time around and get low lottery numbers! The waiting is killing me. Have you taken the TEAS? 0 Likes
akuzihs Apr 19, 2015 Sorry for the delay in reply! It's been a bit hectic. Yes I am just praying for a good, low number!!!!They should be contacting us pretty soon. I think I will go to the department tomorrow and try to get some info, like when we will hear from them and how many applied..Yup I took TEAS already since I needed to apply SSU. Unfortunately, I had a car problem that morning and barely made it to the test, so my score was not as good as I wanted….I got a score in 80s, even though I was hoping to get it in 90s! Oh well. 0 Likes
ahaulot Apr 19, 2015 I completely understand!I'm taking it on Friday at napa valley college. I'm a little nervous but have been studying for a while. Let me know if you get any information when you go. We should be hearing this week I would think. 0 Likes
akuzihs Apr 21, 2015 I went the nursing department and was told that we won't be notified until June....Apparently, the number of applicants was between 150-200... 0 Likes
ahaulot Apr 21, 2015 When I talked to a counselor they told me that we should know this week, because they have to notify us when to take the teas. Now I'm nervous! 0 Likes
jangong91 Apr 21, 2015 Are you sure it's 150-200 applicants? bc my counselor told me it was 114 people. May be I miss heard and it was 140. 0 Likes
ahaulot Apr 21, 2015 Yeah it does seem like a lot! I didn't think it would be in the 200's, but who knows. 0 Likes
akuzihs Apr 21, 2015 Yea that's what I thought. It was a nursing professor who told me about it, so she may not know about the exact procedure. I am wondering if I should go again, but I don't want to be a pest…Good luck on the TEAS! The problems are not that bad if you can calculate manually and took science classes recently. I got hang up with some English questions since it is my second language. 0 Likes
ahaulot Apr 21, 2015 I feel pretty ready. I've been studying everyday for the past couple weeks. Just a lot of reviewing. I started a new job today so that slowed me down a little but I still feel pretty good. I think that we have all received different information from talking to people. No one seems to be on the same page. We should find out soon enough I guess. 0 Likes
akuzihs Apr 21, 2015 Whoops I didn't see jangong91's post earlier!What a nursing professor told me was "several hundred," but less than 200.Last year was about 150, so 114 sounds a bit low. The less the number, the better it is! 0 Likes
