I didn't get a phone call at all. So, obviously I am just going to retake the TEAS for a higher reading score and hope for the best in August.

I just posted what I was told because I understand how stressful it can be waiting for an answer. They accept 10-12 students each cohort out of 100+ applicants. I am remaining hopeful, but I am also preparing myself for worst case scenario. If I have to retake the TEAS, I have to retake the TEAS.

I just spoke with my enrollment counselor yesterday and she said that this week they are preparing for graduation, so to expect responses back by mid February. My science GPA is 3.6 and she said that if I don't get selected then she recommends retaking the TEAS because my reading score was like 76.6%. Even though they say that your TEAS must be a minimum 60%, for California that's a joke. I explained to her that I always have excelled at reading and writing so I was focused on studying the math and science. I mean my English and Language usage was 87.5%. I mean, honestly how could you score almost an A in English and Language Usage if you can't read? She said that if I retook the exam and scored just a few more points higher in the Reading portion, then I would be bumped up to the next rank. I achieved "Advanced" level, not "Exemplary". I am praying that I get selected but after reading this, I feel even more disheartened so I guess I am going to have to study my ass off some more and retake the TEAS. Ugh!!!

You too! :)

I initially applied in August 2017. I was not accepted for the January cohort, so I was automatically entered for the April cohort and was told that I should have an answer by the second week of February.

Hi Everybody. I initially applied for the January 2018 pre-licensure BSN cohort in August. I was not accepted and was told that I made the top 20, and they only select those in the top 10. I live in Southern California, and was advised that California is extremely competitive.. My TEAS score fell into the Advanced range and my Science GPA is a 3.6. So I am now waiting for the next cohort, which I believe is for April and was told I should have an answer back by the second week of February. The waiting is driving me crazy and just want to know is anyone else going through this? How long and how many attempts before you got accepted? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
