I was wondering if anyone applied there. I also applied to:
CSUEB
Los Angeles Pierce
Los Angeles Valley (once their apps open on April 11th maybe)
LA county Allied health
COC (I really doubt I get in because I did 2 attempts on the teas)
Glendale Community college
STATS:
OVERALL SCIENCE GPA (3.33)
OVERALL GPA (3.56)
TEAS VI: 72.7%
I know it's early, but I want an early start. I just need to get into a nursing program before my pre-req expire :/ My best bet so far for me is Allied health, GCC, Pasadena, and maybe Pierce
I have like 60 points I believe. I don't have a bachelors and I got a bad score on my TEAS. I didn't have time to study and got a 69. I bet everyone else's application is more competitive. But I hope my grades are my saving grace. I didnt get into LACC or GCC, I'm an alternate.
I don't want to scare you, but based on the previous threads, the average points for people accepted were in the mid 70s.
I don't like the point system at all. What if you don't have any experience? Maybe you had a change in your career path and now want to be a nurse. Life happens. Good luck to everyone.

Some point based systems are great like LA county. But PCC takes account bachelor's degrees, work experience, and all these circumstance points. That chews me up pretty good. I only have volunteer experience but I had

I can relate to all of that. But I can understand why they implemented a point system. They probably have research to back up the idea that students with higher points tend to do better in their program. Schools are a business too.

you're so right. I agree that they are a business too. But like the saying goes "don't judge a book by it's cover" some people may not have enough points to get in but what if that one person does way better once in the program because it's actually something they want to study?
I wish there were more nursing schools in the area so that everyone would have a better chance of getting in. :)
To me I think the PCC nursing point system is terrible. I've been working as an MA for 3-4 years now but w/o the certification. I am grateful a Dr. took me under her wing and taught me everything I know. I got my EMT-license just so I can get that point for PCC. :/
Here I am, waiting....never had my life be on pause for a very long time. My job is asking me what is my schedule but I can't unless I know where I'm going in the Fall.

same here. luckily i'm in a position where my job has flexible hours. But I know that's not the same for everyone.
And they said incomplete applications wouldn't get processed...did they lose your transcript?
I believe so but I didn't ask. I had order 4 original copies from my previous school and I'm 100% sure I included my transcript because I only had 3 left in my folders.
