Fresno City College (FCC) - Fall 2025/Spring 2026 RN program

Published

I recently applied to FCC's nursing program but I'm just confused on the selection process. I see/hear a lot of conflicting information about how they actually go about it. even the website kind of confused me. do they do 100% lottery system or points based & lottery? if anyone knows it would really help me out. I took my TEAS really late (Jan 11) so im kinda only left with community colleges this cycle.

Last semester, a counselor told me that the first 100 applicants is based on the point system and the other 100 is lottery.

Thank you. I hope this is true, I applied the same day the application opened but it later was taken down because it was "being updated". I called and they told me I shouldn't have to submit a new application if I got a confirmation email about my original submission but then what was the point of the "update"? I even redid it but didn't submit it, just to see what exactly was updated & saw that it was the exact same application so IDK what they did.

Yea. It was weird with the update. I had my application open before the update and they just told me to cancel my first application and restart a new one. Like you said, I noticed there was no difference before or after the update.

Yea same here, I opened it around midnight and finished it later that day. I only knew about the "update" because my friend tried to start her application & told me it was taken down. I hope mine is still counted since it's the "old" application.

I feel so anxious 😭, like this whole time leading up to the day I didn't really "care" like I was calm. Now that's it's so close I literally feel like I'm gonna explode 💀.
