Modesto Junior College '15/'16 ADN applications MJC nursing program

Hi! I'll be applying to the Columbia satellite program this May with a TEAS score of 86.7 and a total of 57 points. My points are a little low but I heard that some people with a score in the 40's got into the Columbia program. Hope that info helps and good luck!

I've heard the Columbia program gets far less applicants! But your points aren't super low, only a few from the cutoff of last year. The main cutoff was 65, but after quite a few people got cut for various reasons they took people from the 62 point range.

Plus, being up in the foothills it's a shorter drive to Merced or Delta for people like me.

I guess we'll see what this years point range is fairly soon.

Good luck to you!!!!

I too am applying for 15/16. My TEAS was 82, but my overall points are at 68. I am a little worried...

I am thinking about retaking the TEAS to improve my overall points... Good luck ..... and fingers crossed!

68 points is great!!! But the hard part about this year is we have no idea where the points will fall. They could be higher or lower. Some say all the high points people got in last year because they'd been waiting in the lottery. Others say people have had all this time to improve their points, so it's going to be much higher this year. But I think a lot of people don't want to discuss their true scores as if it will impact their chances of getting in or something.

It's really hard to say, so if I were you I'd go for a better TEAS if you can. You get to use the highest of 3 scores, so go for it. That's what I'm doing, my first score was 76 (which is passing), but I'm taking it 2 more times to try to get the best score possible.

I see this process this way: if we can fight to make it through this process and get into school, we're gonna be great nurses who will fight for the right thing for our patients.

Hey guys!!

I applied for the fall 2015/spring 2016 program at MJC. I am currently at 64 points with a TEAS score of 88.7. The TEAS exam was one of my last chances to gain points, so I wish I had studied more than just here and there. Each point counts like you wouldn't believe! Currently doing more volunteering so I can have an additional point. I wish MJC would post program applicant statistics. ARC did, and I think it's very helpful. Glad I found this site!

Goos luck to everyone

I applied for the 15/16 MJC nursing program with 72 points. I ended up getting an 81% on my TEAS. Retook 3 classes in order to get my score up, just hoping it's enough. Now for those of us who've applied, all we can do is sit back and pray for good news!

Yikes! Y'all have some high points! I'm hoping to bring up my score with the TEAS test as well, but looks like I've got some stiff competition! That's awesome!

Does anyone know friends points levels as well? I've asked around and can't find anybody applying this year! They're all going next year.

does anyone happen to know how many applications they are expecting to get for this pool roughly
