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

[mcardenas209]

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.

That a very high TEAS score. What did you use to study for the TEAS?

I don't want to be one of those kinds of people, but I literally did NOT study for the TEAS. I had honestly forgotten I was scheduled for my exam and rushed to get it done to get in for apps last year for my CSU apps.

Just got my acceptance letter to the Spring 2026 cohort! For anyone who's looking to compare, I was at around 85 points, with a 4.0 science GPA and a 3.4 Non-science due to a C in an English class due to a missed final 😢. I had a 90% on my TEAS as well with 0 previous medical/nursing experience.

What time did it come in?

Are you thinking about retaking your TEAS? If so, I can email you what I have if you want.

Yes I am. I'm trying to boost my TEAS score a bit little more. That will be great if you can send it to me. Thank you so much.

No not yet. I'm slowly starting to accept my results

Damn and I can't retake my TEAS either. This is my second attempt with 78% with GPA of 3.8.

Hey I know that COS is pretty competitive to get in but has anyone applied with 70 points and get in?
