National University San Diego- October 2012 Cohort

U.S.A. California

Published

As today was TEAS/essay day, I think it safe to say cohort 32 is pretty well established. So now that the last hoop has been jumped through, now its just a waiting game!

How does everyone else feel about their points? I talked to a few people today during the essay, and was hearing some pretty low scores being accepted. I was told a TEAS score above 70 was acceptable (shocking!!), and that the average cut off for the last cohort was between 84-85 points.

I'm looking at being between 87-91 points (depending on my essay, which i realistically expect a 4/5 on). I scored 87 on my TEAS, have all A's with a B+ in BioMedStats, and didn't repeat classes. The B+ drives me crazy, but from what Im seeing many people are applying with multiple B's and get accepted.

For people reading this that havent applied for their cohort yet, you dont need to take the TEAS at national!! Do NOT wait till that day to take it for your first any only time, thats insane! You can take it every day at SDSU, over and over again, until you get a good score. I am astonished by ppl who are only taking it once at National.

So, at the end of next month we'll find out if we are accepted or denied. Hows everyone else feelng?

By the way, does anyone has any idea if the orientation will be on a weekend or weekday?

Orientation will be on Sept 7, and 14th! Both on Fridays!

Wahoo!!! I got in too :) congratulations to all that were accepted and a big sigh....,, we should make a Facebook page for our cohort. Wahoo!

Those of you who were not accepted this time around please have faith. It's a tough road but everything happens for a reason. As my mom always says, "reach for the stars".

Was curious what everyone's scores were? Points? My cousin got denied and I'm applying soon. Thanks.

Hi adele82... I think the cutoff for guaranteed acceptation is still 84 overall points. Teas counts 30, essay counts 20, GPA counts 30, and you have 20 point just because you passed your prerequisites the first time to took them. I'm between 87 and 91 points.

I was in the mid 90's. I'm not sure what my essay score was, but as I previously majored in English I suspect it was good.

For those of you applying for future cohorts, I suspect your best chance is in the TEAS (as obviously your grades are already decided). National says in the 70s is an acceptable score. That is absolutely insane to me. If your score is that low, take the TEAS over and over until you are above 85. That should definately help secure you a spot.

I agree that we should start a Facebook page. If no one has done that yet I'd be happy to get on it.

Congrats again guys!!

MakaylaD, I don't think anyone has made the FB page, if you make one that would be nice! Let me know if you do! :)

I have made a FaceBook group for cohort 32. It is titled "cohort 32- National University San Diego". Just put in a request and I will add you. I do encourage everyone to join. Groups allow for file/document sharing which will probably be handy!

Wahoo! - this is Cheryl :)

Congratulations everyone!

I didn't find it with the quoted title you gave us, I found this one though: National University BSN Cohort 32. Is this it?

Damian, I think that is it...... Is there a private group? I am not sure if I clicked on the correct cohort 32 ;) I can't wait to meet everyone in the cohort :) Thank you whoever set it up!

No, that isnt the rigth page. The one I made is a group, where as that it just a page. Only with a group can you share files and documents. And anyone can "like" a page, whereas a group can be controlled as to who are members.

But it isnt showing up in the search results >:( . I sent FB a complaint to fix the problem. If either of you want to give it a try with a different title maybe you will have more luck.

I can't find our group either... :(

Yah, my facebook is glitched.My group doesn't show in search results. So please, someone else try!

The page that shows up that was made by someone else can't even be posted on. We need a 'group' not a 'page'. Any takers? Anyone?
