Hi, I am currently taking prereqs at a JC and want to apply for nursing program at CSU Sac, CSU Chico. However, my concern is that I have a C in microbiology and B in chem and A&P part 1. My overall GPA with all the other prerequisite is 3.45 and Im taking the TEAS in August. My fear is that I wont be accepted in any nursing program but I'm looking for advice or any other universities where I can apply for nursing.

Some community colleges are a lottery system so that may be better for your chances. Every school is different on selection
MyAimIsTrue, BSN 201 Posts Jul 24, 2017 I think almost everyone accepted to Sac has a 4.0 and high TEAS scores. I don't know about Chico. I do know that when I was considering a different Cal State, I went to an informational meeting and they told us the average GPA and TEAS scores of those who had been accepted the previous year.
heyitsraj 5 Posts Jul 24, 2017 Yes, Ive heard about the lottery system but I'm kind of iffy about it because my college only lets me apply in the fall and I have to wait a year to start nursing. But I went on the CA board of nursing website, did not know about that. Thank you!
heyitsraj 5 Posts Jul 25, 2017 Yeah I saw the requirements thats why Im leaning more towards different Cal State than Sac. Thank you and yeah I will definetly attend one of these informational seminars. Thank You!

I clicked on every single school listed on there and looked at their requirements and admitted students GPA and TEAS scores. With that info I had an idea of whether or not I had a shot at getting in. It can get tedious, but it is very helpful.
heyitsraj 5 Posts Aug 12, 2017 yes, I did this and found a lot of schools and I guess I'm seeing that there is hope lol
