Hey, is there anyone who applied for Fall 2017 admission to LA County? Have you guys heard any news? has anyone called you? What are your thoughts?
[hey, Thanks for your feedback! can you tell me more about your first semester. Im starting soon and freaking out! I will have to work full time and do school. How was your first semester and what was your schedule like??? QUOTE=Jessflo;9421861]Take it from a county student. They don't look at your TEAS to "weed " out applicants. What gets you in is your grades. You have A's and b's your chances are high. The pool of applicants is high. But your GPA is what matters to them. For this last semester there was over 300 or 400 applicants and only 50 made it .thats why they take so long to Send acceptance letters . The dean personally looks at your transcripts and she calls the shots, you either get in or not . COllege of the canyons looks at TEAS and if you didn't do well, no matter your GPA even if it's 4.0. Their point system cuts you off . Period . I think the way county does their selection is more fair. They can't base the potential of a student based on an exam. They look at the student as a whole academically because that guides them to see if you can handle the program. I think community colleges are great. I know RNs that graduated from community colleges and they are great nurses. I feel blessed to be part of county school , but we are also cheering for our nursing sisters and brothers from other programs. We don't look down on each other for where we come from , we all suffer the same struggle. Good luck to all of you. I was once there in your shoes waiting for an answer and now I'm about to finish my first semester. Feel blessed ,
