Hi Abigail! My name is Samantha and I have been trying to get more insight about this program. Unfortunately, I am not applying to Cohort 7, but I am looking to apply to Cohort 8 since I still need to finish a few more classes. If you don't mind me asking, what are your stats & teas score? I want to get an idea of where I stand in order to determine what other schools I should consider applying to. Are you applying to any other schools?

Good luck on your app!! :)

Thanks for replying! I graduated with a 3.5 overall GPA with a BA in psychology. Pre req GPA for science is 4.0 and non science is 3.0 (mistakes from first year in college) lol. My TEAS score is an 89.3. The healthcare experience I have is 4 years being a caregiver for several clients. I believe my overall points are 88. I am also applying to UCSF's MEPN program for Adult-Gerontology. Those are the only two schools for now. How about you??

Hi Ladies! I applied for cohort 7. Good luck to all other applicants! My grades and TEAS are strong but no healthcare experience.

Nice stats! My overall GPA so far should be above 3.30 if all goes well with my science courses. I have a BS in Health Education and a Master's in Health Care Administration. Non-science GPA is 3.55 due to mistakes in undergrad as well. I am aiming for a high score on the TEAS. Any tips for that? For healthcare experience, I'm currently enrolled in a CNA course & plan to work as one to gain experience.

UCSF is a great school! My friend is currently in the program and it looks like she is enjoying it. In addition, I plan to apply to CSU East Bay, MJC, Delta College, and UC Davis MEPN program :)

Hi everyone! I also applied to the program. My total number of points should be in the low to mid 80's range. I really hope to get into this program as this is my first choice. Good luck!

As far as the TEAS go, I would not rely on just one source for studying. I personally thought that the ETS book and practice exam would be enough, while very helpful, I didn't feel totally prepared. I ended up buying the Mometrix book a couple of weeks before my exam which had more practice questions. I also downloaded a TEAS app on my iPhone so I could do practice questions away from home. I would say to find and complete as many practice exams as possible and time yourself. The ETS practice exams were amazing but I believe you only get 2. The Mometrix book was way more helpful than the ETS, as it was more detailed. I spent about a 3 weeks studying 3-4 hours per day and scored an 89.3 on the actual exam. I was scoring around 85 on the ETS practice exams. I hope that helps :)

@Janet11 Were you a previous Stan student? My application status on mycsustan updated to "complete". I am just wondering who else has an application status.

@CED10 Would you mind sharing your estimated overall points? I read in previous threads that 80's range and up is pretty solid, but you never know how competitive this upcoming cohort will be. I attended an information session and they said that mid 70's is also pretty competitive. Staying hopeful!

@abbybetty Unfortunately I am not, but I am a csu graduate. I haven't received any updates on my application other than having to resubmit my Stan application since I had originally sent it in paper form before they changed to online that is.

Sure, I think I am high 80's. My TEAS was 90. I am just not sure exactly which classes go into each gpa calculation but for the 4 science pre reqs I have an A, A, A-, B+. I am not bilingual and I do not have healthcare experience. I graduated from the CSU system. From what I've heard in prior years a 70 or so is a solid score.

Thank you thank you!!! You are extremely helpful :) Btw, did you mean the ATI manual, instead of ETS?

@samazingg Sorry yes that is what I meant! I also took the GRE recently so I still have that on my mind haha
