I am moving to the Franklin area in about 2 months and I am hoping to go to CSCC. They accept applicants based on an 8-point system, 4 points for an A in A&P I, 3 points for a B, etc. The other 4 points are based on GPA. Overall I have a 6. Does anyone know what my chances are of getting in with a 6? Has anyone applied there in the last year or two?

I applied a year ago for the CSCC nursing program (and knew nothing about the requirements when I applied) and didn't get in. Professor Blum (nursing director) was awesome and talked me through why I didn't get in and what I needed to do to get in. At the time, I had a B in A&P 1 and a 21 ACT. So, I only had 5 points. Since then, I've raised my ACT score over 24. So I should get in for the Fall semester. But from what she told me and nursing professors have told me, its super rare for a 6 to get in. It happens, but I wouldn't count on it. I would suggest upping your ACT score. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. In my experience, the ACT residual is a bit easier than the National test. I focused for 2 months on speed (downloaded a speed reading app) and some areas that I'm weak in and it paid off! Don't be discouraged about not getting in on your first try. Keep on working on your ACT and you'll eventually get there!
