Hello All! I wanted to start a new thread for all of the Connecticut Community College Fall 2016 applicants. The deadline is a month away!! Lets share our scores and hope that all of our hard work and dedication will pay off!!!
Nursing GPA 3.55
Teas 74.7
AP 1 B
i wish I had done better on the Teas and in AP, but whats done is done and all I can do now is pray! I have selected Norwalk CC as my first choice and Gateway as my second. I am excited to hear from you all !I hope we all make it!!!
I think people who took less pre reqs will have advantage over me cuz they take all classes that count ur nursing classes..that is what I think cuz I don't get how they make the selection..they shld at least let u know this n that classes they took during ur selection process.
Yeah, I wish that they'd have filled out that "Met with" section on commnet to show what grades and classes of ours they used to fulfill the requirements. I think those that take just what is required (chem, ap1, ap2, eng) do have a bit of an advantage over those who have more classes in their history...3 As and a B gives much a much higher gpa overall than 5 As and 5 Bs. It's one reason why I retook some of my old classes, especially a C I had)...I wanted to bump up my GPA as much as I could.
93.3 on Teas!!!! That's awesome! Any tips or suggestions??? I got 62% ...
No problem! I've always been pretty good at standard tests, but I had some apps on my phone that got me used to question formats and subject matter (I just ran the app and went through questions when I had a few minutes here and there every day).
I also had a couple of books I bought on Amazon that had sample questions and practice tests with explained answers along with tips (those were super helpful with some math problems and basic bio stuff that I hadn't done in years). When I get home I can get you the name of the one that was best.
I also took the test right after I finished my Chem class so all of that was still fresh in my head.

What apps? I plan on taking the TEAS soon and would like to find alternative ways to study, like that.
62% isn't that bad. Def take it again. The first time I took it, I got a 68. So you will improve when you take it over again. I wish you luck! You can do it, don't give up!
I emailed the one in charge of nursing about the waitlist & GWCC. She said it differ every year, last yr they called people around the # 40 so everyone on the waitlist should not give up. I heard Orientation is somewhere June or July so we still have months to hear from them.keep praying.

Math and reading are my weakness. I'll be retaking the test again! I don't think i have a good chance of getting in.
