Fresno State Spring 2019 Applicant Cycle

Published

I wanted to start a thread for anyone applying to the Fresno State Nursing Program for Spring 2019. I had questions about GPAs and TEAS scores and if maybe anyone knew if this cycle would involve the holistic approach or simply be GPA based. Also does anyone have an idea about when we might hear back? Let's get to know each other! :)

Hi! I applied for the Fresno State Spring 2019. Anticipating not hearing anything until December based on what I've read :( has anyone heard anything different? And I'm hoping they include teas score as well in their holistic approach!

I got an email saying that I am on the alternate list. When I called the office the girl told me everyone who didn't get in is on the alternate list, this makes no sense?! Has anyone else heard anything?

Hi! Well a few things based off what I've heard from other students and questions I've asked counselors, the school of nursing used the academic approach this cycle, so we were ranked by GPA and the TEAS score was used as a tie breaker:)

As for the alternate situation, Spring cycles for nursing apps are usually a much smaller pool because they're only accepting current Fresno state students, whereas Fall is open to anyone with the proper credits! I believe there's 55 spots available a cycle and I've heard there's an alternate list as long as 15 spots. So it's possible that so few people applied that they technically didn't need to send out any rejection notices which I think is great because it really guarantees that most of us that apply will get in!!

To follow up, I received an acceptance email at 11:30 am this morning! I know a main thing we must have is a CPR certification before starting and Fresno state currently has a $25 seminar deal where you learn about healthy social habits and get CPR certification at the end, all covered! It's first come first serve if anyone is interested:)

Oh wow that's awesome! I had a 3.77 gpa and an 86% TEAS!

Any idea on how they decide on allowing alternates in since your TEAS was so high? :)

Hi, I am also a Pre-Nursing student at FS and will be finishing my pre-reqs this year. You guys have amazing TEAS scores, how did you guys prepare for the exam and when do you recommend start studying?

Thanks for your time in advance!

I have no idea how they are deciding. Since I've heard in the past they only used GPA I'm surprised I am on the alternate list.

I gave myself about a month and used the 2 practice tests on ATI to figure out where I needed to focus. The first time I took the teas and got an 87 then waiting another month to take it again and study!

Hi!

I am excited I will be joining you in Spring 2019 at Fresno. I am a second bachelors, in prenursing and completed my prereqs in the Sac area. I have a bach of science in accounting and now a mom of 2. Do you know how much second bach will cost per semester?

My stats 3.9 gpa and 84 on teas. Surprised I got in bc I was applying in Sac area more difficult to get in. I think you need a 4.0 gpa and mid 90s on teas to get in.
