Essex county college RN 2017

Published

I applied for Ecc RN program 2017 I already did my teas and scored 62.5 and my gpa is 3.85 for the group that applied last yr and got accepted any chance for me with that teas score.

Its the Teas that will be the deciding factor for most. Remember, Essex is on a point system so they say:

Applicants will be ranked according to the following criteria and will beadmitted on a space available basis. Maximum

score: 20.Minimum score: 11.There isno waiting list. If an applicant isnot admitted, they may re-apply next year.

Once I tally the points, I have 17.3 points out of 20. Someone who has the same GPA but higher TEAS will have more points, albeit not by much. Who knows if they remain strict to the standards they've posted. Its in their hands. Like anything else this is a business. Recruit the most "qualified candidates", maintain a high retention and 100% pass rate for NCLEX. Who's to say the person who scored an 80% will do better than the person who scored a 60% in nursing school. We should strive to enjoy our summer, have backup plans and maintain confidence in the interim. There's a place for all of us somewhere.

Yea it's hard to stay calm and not worry a little bit. I would want to start my career soon.

Just curious but what's your backup ? Although your stats are pretty good :)

Did you hear about how many students are accepted? I heard from previous classes that 80 get accepted

Yes 80 get accepted. If you look now for the Fall 2017 there are 2 sections for Nurs 104 which consists of 40 slots each. Hence the 80 seats. I have registered for Pharm and Patho (Fall2017) in case I don't get accepted. Regardless, those classes are necessary anywhere albeit, maybe not transferable. However, less of a course load during the program. If TEAS is my only setback then I will study harder and register sooner for the exam.

I didn't know that info was given. I see that you mentioned a number in another thread. Where do you get the information for the Teas percentile. I took the exam saw my score and exited the screen as instructed.
