Gateway Com. College Nursing Prgrm Fall 2009

Published

I am applying for the Fall 2009 program at Gateway Community College. It is the only college I am applying to. I know that is placing all my eggs in one basket, but... oh well.

I was wondering how many people have applied in the past, or what your GPA TEAS scores were. There is no way to figure out if I am competitive or not- HELP!

I scpred an 89 on the TEAS, but I may try again before the application deadline just to make sure I get a Really good score.

Honestly you'll get A LOT more reply's if this was in the Arizona forum...

Yes, it's putting all your eggs in one basket, and the MCCCD currently has a 3 semester wait list, so you have that, and probally a longer one because of your one choice.

Honestly, if I were you though, I'd put Mesa CC, South Mountain CC & Scottsdale CC as other choices. The reason being is all three CC's are within 5 minutes of Gateway. Phoenix College is a bit further out, but may be a bit too far away (15th ave & Thomas). Any of the other CC's really are not anywher close to Gateway

Good luck... I'm working on my pre-reqs at NCC, although I'm definitely having second thoughts. I went to one the info sessions and was soooooo discouraged. I met with one of the nursing advisors not that long ago and she was so encouraging and said it's fine that I have to work b/c they're working on making the program more accessible to working adults. Then that same person stood in front of the audience at the info session and said they look down upon students working while in the program. What the heck? And I asked all kinds of questions about admission facts like the average gpa of student admitted, average TEAS scores, etc and they said they couldn't tell me?? Why is it so hard to find this stuff out? And unfortunately, NCC is just about my only choice so I'm giving it some serious thought before returning there this spring. I don't know about the other CT community colleges, but I'm not too happy with NCC....

Sorry for the rant.
