stephbel · Oct 1, 2018

Hi everyone!

I am just joining this group! I was originally planning to start in the fall of this year, but it didn't quite work out (long story :))

I did participate in the communication exercise in the fall and will echo what others have said, it is nothing to worry about!

Here is my point score:

Science GPA: 4

General GPA: 1.96

TEAS General: 1.89

TEAS Reading: 1.83

Total: 9.68

Good luck everyone, hope to meet you all at the exercise!!

So we should be expecting invitations to the communication excercise in the next two weeks?

Yes, I believe someone said the exercise is on October 17th, and we will be notified via email the week before.

Hello guys!

I am planning on applying to CSULB for the Fall 2019 year, and I was wondering if you guys have any advice or could tell me if I am competitive?

I have the following points:

4.0 prerequisite GPA - 4 points

4.0 GE GPA - 2 points

87.3% overall for TEAS - 1.75 point

85.1% reading for TEAS - 1.70 points

so I have a total of 9.45 points....is this competitive enough? thanks!!

I think so! Here's a link to the pool stats from the past years:

http://web.csulb.edu/colleges/chhs/departments/nursing/studentinfo/documents/PoolStatsFall2018FinalTalley.pdf

For the years that show the stats with 11 points, that's with the communication exercise added in, which is 2 points. Looks like 9.45 (or 11.45 with the communication exercise) is within the range for MOST semesters, a few were a bit more competitive. You have time, so you could re-take your TEAS and see if you can improve your stats a little just to be sure.

Good luck!

I really hope so! the TEAS is sold out in the schools within an hour around me for the next two months...hopefully more dates are added so I can see if I can retest. If not, hopefully my score is good enough to get me in! Thanks so much

Anyone else nervous?

I'm losing my mind haha...

queenliliana · Oct 5, 2018

I'm not sure if I'm calculating my points correctly. What classes are you guys using for science GPA & general GPA?

Science GPA: 3.78 (?)

General GPA: 4.00 (?)

TEAS Reading : 87.2

Teas Overall: 90.0

Total points = 9.29

If I'm not using the correct classes my total points will be a little lower. I'm sooo nervous it's so low compared to you guys, I have my fingers crossed I can still get into the communication exercise if they take 100 people overall! Good luck to everyone, seems like we will be hearing fairly soon!

Science GPA: Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, and Chemistry

GE GPA: Stats, Oral Communication, Written Communication, and Critical thinking

If you're GPA is correct, you would have 9.324 points! (also, they don't count +/-)

queenliliana · Oct 5, 2018

Oh, awesome! My GPA is pretty much correct then with what you said (3.74 science GPA). Not sure how I got 9.29, but thank you! A little bit better may help hahah!

1RN · Oct 5, 2018

Oh sorry, I calculated your points incorrectly. I thought your science gpa was 3.78. If it was 3.74, you would have 9.284!

queenliliana · Oct 5, 2018

Yeah I had added in an extra science that had an A to bump it a little bit. I am just hoping 9.28 will be good enough, it's going to be tough and I'll have to get very lucky! I can't wait, the suspense is killing me.
