Grossmont Admission Points

Published

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has ever been accepted to Grossmont College with a 70s score? I am planning to apply for this Fall 2022 with 75 points. But I will be earning my Associate this Spring so I'll apply with 5 extra points for the next application period which would be Spring 2023. Right now I calculate 75 pts:

+ 5 CNA

+5 100 hrs of Healthcare related work experience (At Scripps)

+25 pts in accumulated GPA (A in Anatomy, B in Physiology, A in Micro)

+13 pts in fixed set GPA (A in English, A in Math, B in Sociology, A in Speech, and A in Psych)

+1 pt for first generation to attend college

+1 pt for having to work during prerequesites

+1 pt for educational disadvantage (hopefully)

+3 pt for speaking another language (Spanish)

+21 pts for the TEAS-I did really bad (74.6%) but I will retake for the next application period. 

That being said, I am kinda of wondering if I should even apply given that I know people in the 80s that have been rejected.

I would apply. Typically you do need points in the 80s+ but since you can repply as many times as you want and there's no fees I would try. You never know what could happen.

I am applying with 79pts! Not expecting to get in I think its a little too low for Grossmont but you never know! Better to submit an application and try! I will submit another app the next round! Going to try to get a better TEAS score on the second try! My first try was 80%

I was accepted into grossmont's nursing program. That's the only one I applied to. I had my associates in pre allied health and calculated having 84 points total.

Thank you!

Best of luck to you! Based off what I saw at orientation, its a really great program. 

I got an 86 on my TEAS. I definitely didn't want to take the new TEAS since the questions I had studied were based off the TEAS 6 study guides. I wouldn't get too hung up on any one score. I do think they look at the overall applicant. Everyone has different strong points

I see. Thank you for your feedback tbh. I’ve been really upset at myself for that TEAS score and thinking about how I won’t be accepted anywhere. I’m taking 2 more Spanish classes to obtain those extra 3 pts for the next application period. I have my CNA + experience and I think like 3 pts of personal circumstances and now the associates so I’m keeping my hopes up.
