Collin College - Fall 2024

I just applied?

Hi there! I'm so curious to see what amount of points is considered competitive for this cohort. What point score did you guys apply with? Also do you have your pre-reqs done? 

I will be applying. I am not sure what my score is.

I have 22.47 points if I calculated that correctly LOL and got a 94.7 on the TEAS. GPA is a 3.6 overall.

I applied last week - so happy to find this forum!  I've read from previous forums that a score of 19 is competitive - I'm hoping that's accurate!  Collin is my first choice school. 

I believe my score is 25.27 if I calculated that correctly. I completed all of my prereqs (1 point) with As (15 points) and I got a 92.7 on the TEAS (9.27 points). 

Salted pineapple - wow!  Congrats on that TEAS score!  Well done!  ?? I'm curious - what study program did you use?  

I believe the score of 19 was competitive prior to them using the Microbiology grade as part of the point system. Now I believe that would equate to a score of 24 being competitive..?  Anyone want to double check my math... ??

When I get a chance I'll look! But I think 20 would be considered competitive now! 

Wow, Jessica, you have terrific stats! I double-checked your math, and it seems about right. With the Microbiology grade, I would assume a 24-point score is pretty competitive. 

Salted pineapple: That's a fantastic TEAS score! What did you use to prep for it? 

Do we need any recommendation letters or anything like that to help? I looked at the application, and it says it's not allowed.

Also, I am taking Microbiology currently and recently discovered that they are scoring it like A&P 1 and 2. It's a bummer that I'll have to wait a semester, but we will see.

I actually didn't use anything LOL strictly from my prerequisites and then a couple YouTube videos.

I strictly used what I knew from my prerequisites and then did some free practice questions on YouTube and any free websites that had practice questions. I don't think we can have recommendation letters. Micro was actually my favorite class I got a 98 in it! I had a great professor but you'll do great!

Oh really, is that so? I heard some people are buying all sorts of TEAS packages, so I was curious. Is it like basic knowledge for reading and writing? Also, how is the math section? 

A 98 in Micro is fantastic! Oh yes, Micro is easier and more fun than A & P 2.

So, applications are strictly based on the point system. Many people in my Micro class are applying for this Fall. I doubt they would get it because they would lack 5 points provided they get an A in Micro and 1 point for pre-reqs completed. 

Has anyone seen a sample schedule for the ADN program?  TWU has one listed for their BSN program, and honestly, it has me scared. I'm hoping Collin's nursing schedule is a little less intense.
