This is my 5th and final year applying. If I don't get in I'll be changing career paths ? every year there's problems and changes with the lottery process.. FCC has crushed my career dreams at this point.

You guys should go get your bachelor's degrees and go to PA school. I will have much more to say in May as to why.

What does everyone's application look like? Mine no longer has the "application status" available. It just shows "Evaluation Statue: Pending"

They do a preliminary lottery before the lottery. Mine did the same thing. There was no method to the madness as to what the status stated. Some pending and some blank were selected and visa versa.

This is my third time applying and each year it's been different. I have no luck when it comes to the lottery therefore I started applying to other programs not just nursing. I'm starting to think the whole nursing thing might not be my calling. My pre-requisites have expired so I cannot apply to a lot of the nursing programs in California. I also do not feel

like having to take the TEAS.

If I don't get into the program this year, Im no longer applying to any nursing programs.

 I noticed the majority of my cohort had taken their A&P pre req within two years of application. All A's and B's In A&P and Micro. No C's.  At least half of them had bachelor's degrees. The ones who didn't had medical experience. Lowest TEAS in our group was a 79. Most of us scored in the 80's. GPA didn't seem to matter much if you had a stellar TEAS. I don't know if that helps anyone for your future applications if you don't get in this round but don't give up if you really want it.

I have a BS in Health Sciences. I decided to apply to DPT, PTA, OT, OTA and Respiratory Therapy programs this year. At least I have other options besides nursing.

TEAS score, GPA, and experience do not matter when it comes to Fresno City's program. It's based on luck

FCC changed that this year, I believe 50% will be selected based off of grades and TEAS exam score
