Collin College ADN Spring 2016

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hello everyone. I have been searching for a Collin College Nursing applicants for spring 2016 thread for weeks and I have not seen one so I figured I would start one my self: ) I will be turning in my application for the program this week and I wanted to share my story. I made A's in all my sciences. I made an A in English and a B in humanities, general psychology and life span psychology. I made a 6 on the PSB as well. I will be applying with 27 points because of the 3 B's I made in humanities and the psychology classes. Because I will only be applying with 27 points I am apprehensive about getting in. I have worked so hard and come so far for this moment, I will just have to give it to God. I've only taken my sciences once, which is good according to the nursing department as they are really factoring acceptance into the program based on taking your sciences once (they told me studies show those who take their sciences once and get an A the first time tend to do better in the program). However, I hope it's enough. I have children, I work full time and it took everything in me to get A's in my sciences and a 6 on the PSB. On the old point system I would be applying with 16 points (I know I need to get over it). I have been following the allnurses site for about a year and a half and I have had the opportunity to share in many wonderful experiences. Most of you that have posted had 4.0's and I've seen the joy you express when you get that acceptance and I am so happy for you all. I hope there is someone out there that applied and got in with similar applying factors and if so, wouldn't mind posting. I'd love to hear from anyone who will be applying or has applied for the Spring 2016 start and what your stats look like. Please do share. Best wishes to you all.

Hi Ladies/Gentelmen, those of you who took the PSB in the past week and half have you received your results yet? Mine came back in a week and 1 day, I just kept calling to find out if it was there, even though they tell you 2 weeks but it rarely takes that long.

Which nursing department said they won't meet this year until mid September. She said the Spring class takes a little longer to decide on. Not sure why but hopefully it won't be that long!

msqtsmith congratulations on making it this far. I hope nothing but the bet for you. It says a lot about someone such as yourself who is able to overcome the obstacles and not quit fighting. The spelling was tough! I will be praying for your acceptance and success. Please keep us posted on who you did on the PSB (the results will likely be in by the end of next week)!

Thank you!!

msqtsmith you go girl! I am so happy for you. You are doing the LVN bridge correct? When did the nursing department tell you that? When I spoke with them about 2 and a half weeks ago I was told that the nursing committee will meet at the end of August and letters will go out around mid-September.

Yes I am bridging. She told me the day I posted when I picked up my scores. I didn't mention being an LVN so not sure if that has any effect on it. She could have been misinformed. You never know. I am just not looking for a letter until October. If I get it before then cool beans ;)

Hi everyone!!!

This is my THIRD time applying to Collin. I heard they only take 30 students each semester, because they want to leave room to accept people from the LVN-RN bridge program. I also applied to other universities this time, because i realized I can't just keep waiting on Collin ): I'll be applying with 30 points. But I repeated A&P2 and Micro. So I don't know how well that's gonna play out.

I never took any of the honors courses and I will NOT retake them. :/ I don't think it'll be worth it.

Hi Theuberjc! Welcome to the thread. I hope you get in this time, you seem very motivated and I applaud you for not giving up. How many points did you apply with last application cycle and what did the letter say? I believe they only take the bridge applicants in the Spring and its usually only 15 spots, which means they should be accepting about 45 regular applicants. I was also told they will be sending more acceptance letters then usual because the new health science center is opening up in the Spring, (for us) which means they have more space for more spots. i hope nothing but the best for you and please keep us posted.

Hello everyone,

This is my third time applying and finally got a 6/6 on the psb. No honors classes though :( My question is which classes are considered in the overall cumulative GPA (applicable to the nursing degree plan)? I have made an A in A&P I and II, Micro, Comp I, Art Appreciation, both psych classes. Are there anymore they consider? I have taken nutrition, statistics, and chemistry as well but don't know if those are calculated in as I plan on pursuing a BSN.

Hi Kristinka6, the only class that are applicable to the nursing program and are also calculated into your GPA are A&P 1&2 Mico, English 1, both Psychology and a humanities or Art (which ever grade is highest). If you made an A in all those I think you have a good shot. What was the reason given for you not being accepted in the past, do you have any repeats in your science classes? I commend you for being a fighter. Please keep us posted on how it goes. I was told letters will go out around mid September.
