I realize it may be early, but I wanted to start a thread for the CSUSB Fall 2016 nursing program hopefuls. I'm sure we will all have a lot of questions about application deadlines, letters of recommendation, points, TEAS, etc. It will be nice to have a community where we can ask each other questions and offer advice. Eventually we can share stats, and we may even end up in the same cohort!
How did you calculate your points and how much is each optional item worth?
I went to an informational session at the school. They didn't give the exact point ranking system, but they did say that ranking was based on pre-requisite gpa, TEAS score, county of residence, letters of recommendation, bilingual proficiency, and group pre-advising. I found some info online, but I'm not sure how accurate it is.
GPA - 30 points possible
3.00 - 3.05 = 11 points
3.06 - 3.10 = 12 points
etc...
Increase by 1 point every 0.05 until you reach the maximum (3.96 - 4.00 = 30 pts.)
TEAS test Version V - 15 points possible
70.0 - 71.9 =1 point
72.0 - 75.6 = 2 points
etc...
(Maximum points possible 98.0 -100 = 15 points)
Group Pre-Advising (Informational Session) - 1 point possible
Bilingual Proficiency - 1 point possible
Letters of Recommendation - 2 points possible
1. Character
2. Academic
County of Residence - 5 points possible
TOTAL POSSIBLE: 54 POINTS
This is what I got, you guys can count your stats again:
100-98.0 = 15 pts97.9-96.0 = 14 pts95.9-94.0 = 13 pts93.9-92.0 = 12 pts91.9-90.0 = 11 pts
89.9-88.0 = 10 pts87.9-86.0 = 9 pts85.9-84.0 = 8 pts
79.9-78.0 = 5 pts77.9-76.0 = 4 pts75.9-74.7 = 3 pts74.6-72.0 = 2 pts71.9-70.0 = 1 pt
