Effective Fall 2018, Sac State is changing their Selection Criteria for Admissions into the BSN program. I've created this thread for those folks that are planning on applying Fall 2018 to ask questions, share their thoughts, etc. I'm interested to know if the changes make it easier or harder to get accepted. I myself was planning on applying Fall 2018 but may decide to apply Spring 2018 if it's "easier" before the new changes are put into effect.
Usually, this is based off on what the students entered as their point total, no what that total actually is. I think a lot of people are going to take an issue with 80 points, because that means if you apply with a 4.0 and 100% on the Teas you barely make the cut off.

You're right. I have a 4.0 (non-adjusted) and 96.0 on the TEAS with 4 points optional criteria. That's 81 points total - one point above the preliminary cutoff. Even with my stats, I'm right on the border. Personally, I think they need to reevaluate the new selection criteria. I'm all for the optional criteria awarding extra points, but I feel like 20 of 100 points is quite a lot. And obviously, allowing grades to be omitted skewed the points. Why even look at GPA if you're essentially letting everyone report a 4.0 if they choose?
