do you guys mean 2 rounds of interviews after passing the first round or just two separate days for applicants to choose from

oh gosh, only 11! do you know how many people were interviewed? I know there were at least 2 time slots for SC interviews when I checked

My interview is tomorrow and I'm about to send my PowerPoint (I know it's super late). But for those that have interviewed, did you guys send the ppt with speaker notes or without?

Will we be stopped right at the 10-minute mark? I am trying to take information out but currently sitting at around 11-12 minutes

When is the last day they are interviewing? Mine is this week and it feels late considering they started others as early as 23rd

Has anyone been interviewed yet? How was it? I'm still working on my ppt and feel it's too short, definitely under the 10-minute mark

Congrats to everyone who got an interview and good luck!

I have interview for south bay too! My first choice would've been fremont but happy to just have the opportunity. I picked santa clara 28th at 1pm for my interview. super nervous!

Ooh okay, thanks everyone for replying! they did say 02/13-02/15 so will be on the lookout for the email. Which location(s) is everyone looking to be placed at if picked? ?

For those of you who received the snapshot, are you an internal applicant? I'm external and still haven't received it so a little worried. Not sure if I should be emailing them because I recall them saying everyone will receive the snapshot

Does anyone remember when the application open and closed again? I need it for reference?

It's already November, has anybody heard anything back yet?

OMG it was in my spam folder! Thank you so much, I was getting so worried. That's so strange though because I applied for fall 2019 and it didn't go to spam. I'm surprised by the low number of applicants though. I thought there'd be more. The same thing with the cut-off point, it's a bit relieving to know it's a tad lower compared to last spring.

That's so good to hear! Do you guys think I should be worried because I haven't received any email yet?

The top 160 won't know their standing until the end of November though, right?? The wait is honestly killing me because Sac is basically my first and only choice.

Finger crossed we both make it!! All Califonia programs are super competitive so the TEAs are honestly the only thing that could raise your score/standing. For my 3rd attempt, reading was honestly kind of easy for me. I had a lot more readings and short stories compared to my first 2 times. I didn't really study for reading as much as the other sections, to be honest. I read the ati manual and mometrix secrets book, took lots of practice tests and also watched Carolyn McAllister's videos. That was pretty much it. The questions seemed straight forward. I think the biggest thing for reading is to be careful. Read and understand the passages carefully and only choose the answer that will actually answer the question. They'll give you choices that seem like they could be right and true, but it might not answer what the question is asking, that's what I think is the biggest thing for reading imo. Reading is all about endurance because it's the most time-consuming. Good luck!!

My score definitely improved! The first time I believe I had 78, keep in mind I only had anatomy and chem under my belt and studied for only 2 weeks. I took it again 6 months after with the addition of physio, studied for about 3-4 weeks (I was also taking micro while studying) and scored 85. I improved a lot, but definitely needed a higher score. I recently retook it this month and studied intensely for about a month, I got a 92. After studying for the 3rd time, I realized how unprepared I was the first time. I really understood more A&P and felt I knew more material the third time around. If nothing goes wrong with my application, I believe I am applying with 76 points at Sac for Spring 2020.

Bathroom breaks are essential! The first time I took the teas at Sac I did so bad because I was tired and hated how they didn't let me go to the bathroom. Thankfully the next two times I took it at different locations they let me use the bathroom and get up to stretch and recharge. Good luck to you!! I know the teas is stressful but once you get that score you've been studying so hard over, all the time and money spent will be worth it.

When sending ati scores do we send them CA STATE SACRAMENTO or CA STATE SACRAMENTO TEAS? I just want to make sure I'm sending them to the right place.

Alright, thanks!! Answering your question above, if I calculated everything correctly I'm applying with 94 points. Not sure if that is good or not. Do you happen to know the average points of prior accepted applicants? ?

Thanks for clarifying! If I finished all my pre reqs then I don't need to check planned or in progress right?

Just making sure, but the application isn't online correct?

Thank you for this helpful advice!! I just retook my teas and I owe a lot to your study plan. I would've never considered studying 8 hours a day otherwise?

Does anyone know if the supplemental application is available yet?

Your score looks so good! Honestly, I think you're definitely getting in!
