Hey everyone :) I just applied to the nursing program at JJC. I've completed all my prereqs for the program. Great GPA, with a 73 on my teas exam. How's everyone's scores looking? :) and good luck to all who has applied!!!

No for days

Sorry for being so nosy - I'm just trying to understand how I did not get alternate-

which classes were you missing?

[mcprignano]

Oh no worries! Sorry, my toddlers are being super needy tonight í ½í¸‚, you can message me on fb too if you want, michelle prignano. I don't have bio 250 and bio251. I applied for only days, I have an AAS already (don't know if that weighs in at all)

I got in the evening program!!!!! Hello everyone!! I'm so damn nervous but excited!! I can't believe this.

Im currently half way thru my BIO 251 with an amazing teacher. This summer taking Health and Soc 290

on-line...then it starts...the real classes in the fall! I'm going to attempt to work FT and do night classses.

I will probably be all gray, or bald, and like 100 lbs. lol. eek!!! Anyone else get in the evening program??

Best of luck to all applicants :):)

Congratulations!! You are in small company- most did not make the cut. I had a 75, 3.4 over all GPA and I'm in 250 now, only 251 left- all my other pre req are done.

I am just going to get the 76 so I can get a seat for January 2018.

Hey madmama :) I thought for sure you'd get in...I love this site and have been reading the posts...Imy bummed and surprised too...your stats are amazing. You'll get above that 76 for sure.

Congratulations to everyone accepted! As a reference for those that were curious, I was accepted to the program with the following: ENG 101 (A), PSYC 101 (A), PSYC 215 (A), HEAL 109 (A) and am currently enrolled in BIO 250 and will complete BIO 251 over the summer. So 4/6 of the prereqs completed with a 4.0 GPA in those said courses. My TEAS score was 71.3. I'm going to go ahead and make a generalized assumption that with this round of admissions, it must have come down to emphasis on your GPA since I'm seeing those that had a much higher TEAS than I but where we differed was the GPA of the prerequisites. Good luck to everyone on your journey of becoming nurses!

I went to one of the nursing information sessions, and I do remember the chairman of the program mentioning that if a student's TEAS score was not above 76, then they take into account their GPA, so you are right! Congrats on the acceptance!
