Hey guys,

I haven't seen anything posted about the application for Fall 2019 cohort. Deadline was yesterday the 15th. I am just curious to see how everyone feels about their chances and how many points they have. Letters are supposed to be coming late March, early April.

I applied to the traditional. If I don't get accepted I might just go to get my LVN to try the bridge

Same here

How do your coworkers feel about the program? Level of difficulty (don't get me wrong, I know it'll be difficult but it's interesting to hear various peoples' feedback)? Do they like the instructors? Found out Friday I didn't get selected for City so I've done more research into COS's program and it sounds really good.

I spoke to one of my coworkers who is currently in the program. They said the instructors are strict and clinicals is one of the harder things for them. Hopefully this helps!

Hi there I’m currently in the cos Rn program third semester. So for my cohort I believe the lowest points to get in as an alternate was 62 points, most of my classmates had 68 points. The instructors are all awesome and want us to pass. Honestly clinicals aren’t that bad unless you’re in second semester then there’s a lot of care plans to do. I’ve been able to maintain my part time job but I’ve stuck with b’s so if you want the a’s I suggest to not work. Good luck everyone :)

Did you apply for the Spring cohort or the Fall cohort? thanks for the info!

Does anyone know if a 3.7 GPA and a 80.7 on the teas is considered low for the COS RN program?

Thank you for asking. Doesn't sound too bad if clinicals are the worst? I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

I applied as well. I have 66 points, 78 on Teas, AA degree, and am a CNA. I have a 3.2 GPA in science classes. I took my anatomy and physiology combined as AP 1 and AP 2 at another college where I moved for my Fiance’s job and got Bs. I got an A- in microbiology with a brand new teacher at COS.

A lot of people I know have gotten in with a high Teas score and GPA with out experience. LVNs get seats reserved specifically for them so they are in a different pool within the pool.

That sounds really good. Thats what im mainly nervous about since im sure theres multiple people with an AA degrees applying. Im not sure if ill get in because of it since i have no experience due to barely being a sophmore.
