El Camino, Compton, Cypress College Spring 2020 nursing application process

Published

Hi everyone. I applied to El Camino College, Compton College and Cypress College. I was hoping we could help each other out in sharing information. This is my first time applying to any nursing program. All I know for now is that ECC is supposed to send an email to potential candidates to take TEAS on or around Oct 21. What I don’t understand is if we will get the invite around that time or if we will be TESTING around that time. It can be read either way. At compton, the lady at the front desk said they’d be behind one week for testing due to her being gone due to a death in the family. So she said that if I got an invite to take the TEAS elsewhere, to do it and then contact her so that she can tell me where to send it. All I remember from Cypress is that we should get an email by Dec 12 or so and to call the school if we don’t. But I don’t remember what they said as far as the TEAS. I guess I’m wondering if denial letters also get sent when invites for TEAS get sent. Anyway, I’d appreciate any feedback from anyone. Thanks!

Guys if I still haven’t received anything besides the TEAS should I assume I didn’t make the cut ?

Omg ! I received my second alternate acceptance from Compton, looks like I’m number 3. Not sure where I stand at this point at el Camino, received email from them saying not to buy uniform yet till after orientation, so I had to place it on hold. I’m lucky to have 2 more chances. Congrats to those that got 1st round .

Congrats to all of you guys. I'm still waiting to hear back, hoping that its today ???

@Sue_ema: Thanks for posting the alt letter. It is good to know/see how this stuff works. We’re all in here trying to get into a program and it helps to know how it works. It made me question whether I got an alternate. I had to go back and read it to make sure ?

@ sambelike: you should call and ask. I hope that isn’t the case, but maybe they can tell you if rejection letter will or have gone out.

@Rnhopeful: I hope so too. Crossing fingers for you??
