Joliet Junior College Spring 2022

[Vanessa DelToro]

I got in for Spring 2022 for days but have limited social media. I don't know anyone else whose gotten in so I wanted to see if anyone replies. This exciting but nerve wrecking at the same time. I started looking into the costs of classes and books and am becoming a little overwhelmed as it goes over my financial aid amount. Any advice, experience, tips On anything in general to JJC nursing program would be awesome.

Hello

I live in Chicago another one of my classmates lives in Skokie and we both got in. I didn't know they changed the requirements for the TEAS test. I say study for the TEAS get a great score and have as many pre reqs as possible. I'm a horrible test taker and I only got a 66. Could have just been luck I got in but I'm in. I had all of my reqs besides micro, which I'm taking now with the program. It's alot of work. Good luck!

OMG that is awesome that u got in with that score. I know if u do good on your classes and have them completed or majority u have a higher chance.

I'm wondering how many ppl applied. I know there's alot of ppl who don't wanna be nurses anymore bc the pandemic scared them off. But awesome we're in.

Congratulation's on your acceptance,  thank you so much , this have helped a lot  I really want to score a 82 because my GPA is not great 2A 1B and a couple of Cs in the GEN ED classes but I do have them all except Microbiology , when I spoke to tina she said that not many people obtain a 82 and people who get accepted usually have mid 70s score on the TEAS exam that made me feel a little better I'm going to to take my exam on the 15th of November, I have been focusing on the science and it is a lot to cover... thanks for the heads about the Chemistry because I didn't looked at any Chemistry....     

Hey did you ever get in for Joliet junior college ?

I believe it used to be 60, however they got rid of the minimum score so there isn’t one anymore, however I think you should still do your best bc your score does put points on your ranking

Thanks ! Vanessa you definitely gave me some confidence I just been nervous down to my stomach and I’m only doing the prerequisites right now I just can’t wait to get to the point where I apply for the program next year

I just wanted to update everyone who is on here thinking about applying or did apply. I did not successfully pass my first semester. I did well in the clinical portion and theory but I was a point away from making the 80% on tests mark. If you do not have an 80% in both theory and the test grade you must reapply. Which I did bc I know I can do this. I'm just a little behind but at least I know what to expect if I do make it this 2nd time around. Good luck everyone
