For those that are reapplying next cohort, I'll throw out there that if you can:
get recommendation letters together from professional sources such as supervisors or other coworkers. I had Navy officials that I worked with attest to me and sent two rec letters, along with a pretty bomb resume I took forever to tweak. I had never applied before and I was so nervous so I went overboard, I also retook two classes through straighterline as well. I had a prior 3.2 GPA in early May and was discouraged so I pushed through and retook 2 online lectures and came out with a 3.667!
My stats were GPA: 3.6 and TEAS 90
I hope to see you all right behind us in the next cohort ♥️ Best luck and wishes, and DO go overboard adding to your package if you can. It will help you stand out/look diverse.

Did you send the recommendation letters and resume to them prior to your interview? Or did they ask for them?

I had 3.5 and 94.7 TEAS, attached 2 letters of recommendations, got an interview, and still got rejected.
I was speaking to national university today, and they said biomedical statistics is considered a semester units, not a quarter units.
I have been silently following this forum for a while now but thought I would finally jump in and comment and introduce myself. My name is Aspen and I was also recently accepted into the program at National and will be joining you all for cohort 67. YAY!
My stats were: 3.67 GPA and 90% TEAS
I have 1 year of CNA/ med-aide experience in dementia care.
For those who were asking about letters of rec- I never included any and I honestly thought I wouldn't get in with only 1 year of experience but I am here to say don't get discouraged if it seems like you don't have tons of experience or letters of rec. I spent a LOT of time on my resume for sure and I think my interview went very well, but I know how intimidating it can seem when everyone else has TONS of experience. I am not sure if they prefer a higher GPA vs TEAS or vice versa... still cannot seem to figure it out myself.
Anyways good luck to everyone re-applying. You will get there one day! I was rejected 4 times before this from previous schools and I know how it feels to feel outright frustrated and let down. Do NOT let it discourage you from trying again or trying elsewhere. There is a place for everyone somewhere... just keep pushing!
To all my fellow classmates in 67- I cannot wait to see and meet you guys soon! ?
