Evergreen Valley College Spring/Fall 2017

Published

Hello everyone! I'm applying for EVC's Spring/Fall 2017 admission cycle. Who else here has applied? I've heard that there are roughly 500 applicants for this admission cycle.

Hey ocean43, how are you studying for the TEAS again? When can you take it again?

I just got an email from Adrienne and I'm one of the top 10 of the alternative list. I recently accepted to go to another school that is my top choice, so I'm declining that spot. I hope it'll help someone else in the long run.

Hi. I was a generic student accepted into program but I didn't pass TEAS so she said I'm on remediation until I retake exam next year to start program next fall.

Can you please share your study tips with me and what resources did you use. I'm still very sad about it.

So for the science section, I recall quite a bit of anatomy and some physiology. Maybe for next year, you can refresh some of that. I studied from the tests that were posted online. I also used Kaplan for just the science section. For any tests I take, whatever I don't get right, I'd go back to that question and see WHY I didn't get it right, and what other approaches I can take.

The grammar portion is really similar to the online TEAS practice test. English/LA is a little tricky, it really depends on your reading level. I suggest practice a lot because the questions are essentially the same. You can look for specific grammar/LA books to use.

Another thing I do at home while studying for a test this long is take an actual full-length practice test at the time I will be taking it. For ex, if I'm taking the TEAS at 8 am then I will get up on a Saturday at 8 am and take the whole test as practice at home to get a feel of it. As a result, I don't feel as panicked on the actual test day.

Thank you for this info. so you only used Kaplan and practice tests ?

I did, I also did practice questions online since the test is a computer test. It sucks you only missed 1 point :/ but it's a chance to improve as you retake it!

Is anyone in this forum on the waitlist for Spring '18?

Hello everyone just looking for a little advice and a few opinions on the nursing program at EVC. Is this a difficult program to get into? My grades aren't the best but EVC is still my top choice.

I applied and got rejected. I'm at SJSU's nursing program now. A little bit about the application process. EVC is lottery based meaning your your GPA doesn't need to be competitive to get in. You just need a lot of luck by your side to get your name drawn because they only offer limited seats and tons of people apply. Applications are only held one time per year. Be sure that before you apply you meet the prereq GPA cutoff. It should be listed on there site (prereq GPA= the GPA you earned in just Anatomy, Micro, Physio, English, and Stats...some schools include Stats while others don't. Check EVC's web). Once you get in, they usually give you a 2 week time period to complete the TEAS exam and score at least a ~65% or above.

EVC has a beautiful campus and I would totally recommend you apply, given your GPA meets the cutoff, but I wouldn't only invest in that school. Look for other CC's that offer lottery. The more schools you apply to, the better your chances.

I know how stressful it is applying to programs, but just keep your head up! I gotta get back to studying for finals now haha. Good luck!
