Fresno City RN Applicants 23/24

Strawbewe.ie · Apr 25, 2023

This is what it states on the website "You were included in the recent lottery but were UNSELECTED to start the RN program.Only selected and alternate applicants receive a full review of their application to verify all requirements are met. Therefore, "Unselected" applicants may have an Evaluation Status of "Unevaluated". "

Is anyone going to sign up for the Health Care Majors Expo?

I'm also unselected and unevaluated. I don't understand how they can leave so many unevaluated but some of the unselected have been marked eligible for days or even weeks. It seems like this year was no different in them not knowing how to run the lottery fairly and smoothly.

I assumed the applications that changed to eligible a couple weeks ago were included in the merit based pull and if it stayed pending then you were included only in the lottery pull and probably wouldn't end up being evaluated unless you were pulled but who knows that's just a guess on my end ??‍♀️ because what would be the point of evaluating all applications when they could have just evaluated the ones that were selected by lottery to make sure they have everything required and what not.

With this new merit base selection, your grades only will not save you. Your TEAS overall score and the reading score on your TEAS is what will give you more points. That is an extra 10-15 points just for those points. I don't plan on applying to fcc next application but for others who plan to reapply, aim for a higher TEAS score. I know someone who got on the waitlist with a 78% TEAS score. You are only allowed to take TEAS test 2 times. When a new version comes out, your attempts restart.

My points: 80

4.0 sci GPA, 3.9 overall, TEAS 76% / 2nd attempt 95.3%

Does anyone know what unevaluated means? like does it mean my application was not complete or did they just not look at it? Also I'm a little confused bc I see people saying their TEAS scores got them in but I thought you just needed to make the cut-off score to be in the lottery.

Everyone gets evaluated for the lotto and merit. My counselor says they collect all the points and pick the top 100 for merit then everyone else gets put into the lotto draw. That's as much as I know. I can only assume the ones picked for merit had a full evaluation and that's why their status changed to evaluated. I'm not sure they would want to waste their time giving full evaluation for people who were not picked for the lotto.

About the TEAS score, yes you only need to have at least the cutoff score for the lotto but for the merit selection you are now competing with other people's TEAS score to get your spot in. My counselor looked at my 76 TEAS score with a cringe face and told me to take it again and aim in the high 80s. She says most likely people with 90s and up will most likely go to state or somewhere else.

Thank you, I didn't know there was a separate merit selection, my TEAS was a 79 so I see why.

If your status states "unevaluated", this means you were unselected for the program and therefore your application did not receive a full review to verify you meet the requirements for the program.

So basically they did look at my application but kept it on pending because I didn't make the top 100?

Yes, they go through each application to make sure grades are correct and everything else on the application while at the same time collect points. This is what I was told because I specifically asked about my application because I left a box blanked and was worried I would get denied because a nurse counselor said if there was any boxes left blank we are immediately disqualified.
My application was pending too until today, unevaluated because unselected for lotto. People who were picked either merit or lotto gets a full evaluation. If that makes sense. Our applications do get looked at because we need to meet requirements but as far as evaluations, it must be a different process.
