It’s my first time applying to FCC. I can see the lottery tab. Still pending. Despite my bachelors degree, 4.0 science GPA and an 89 TEAS I received rejections from COS and West Hills so not a lot of hope left. We shall see.

Why did they reject you?? did they say? you are like the perfect candidate for the RN program! I don't understand why you were denied.

I’d love to know myself but I’m  not sure. I think there are a lot more applicants from the Southern CA area and Bay Area this round due to COVID relocation making it more competitive this year.

That is so crazy! I was also rejected from COS and WHC. So this is my last hope this time around. It can be very discouraging, but try to keep the faith!

That is probably true there was more people from other areas applying this time around, but that is a little unfair, these programs here are already so impacted and we don't have that many choices as it is in the Central Valley.

I think I'll be cleaning my house and playing Zelda to keep myself busy so I don't obsessively check my status every 15 minutes LOL

LOL.. right? I am so thankful I have my skills lab today for my CNA program, I will be busy and we aren't allowed to have our phones out, so I can't obsessively check it every 5 minutes.

I was to. Unfortunately, those two schools go based off of points earned from a variety of things, not limited to only GPA and TEAS scores. If one is lacking in a certain category or Another, it’s very hard to be competitive even if you have great stats. It’s definitely defeating. FCC is also my last hope this time around. ??

Did you apply to Fresno State? You probably could have gotten in there.

Thankfully I work full time from home but it doesn’t help having this on my mind.

I actually like the way FCC does it, it gives everyone more of a opportunity to get into the program, as long as you qualify you should be able to get a chance, I wish WHC and COS would do the same thing.

I’m trying to keep the faith.  It’s actually a little humorous to me that we are being rejected by a Junior College...  some of these programs seem to be becoming as competitive as Stanford or Pepperdine... like, ✋ please... it’s an associate’s degree in nursing we’re not becoming brain or neuro surgeons over here.

I may try to. I do meet the TEAS score average over there. But that program is just as impacted as every other one in California
