ECC was actually my first choice, but I live in Anaheim so I tried my luck with Cerritos, it's so much closer. I started off with 47 pts and got invited to sit for the TEAS. I got an 86% on the TEAS so I ended up with 67 points total and got in. I applied to the Compton campus, I really like it there and it's closer to me than the Torrance campus. I've seen 65pts get accepted to both campus' too. I don't know what the lowest score accepted is though. You should try! It seems like a good program, I've talked to a lot of people in the Compton campus and they really like it, they do say it's pretty difficult and time consuming, but what RN program isn't? I really didn't think I would get a call back to take the TEAS, I felt my grades were not competitive enough, but I have a lot of extra pts, like AA, patient volunteer hours, work while attending college, bilingual...you get points for all those things, which really help you. So definitely give it a go!

Got my letter today, I didn't get get accepted I did though get into El Camino College, so I'll be going there. Best of luck to you all!! Congrats to those who made it in and the alternates, I hope you make it!

:drowning:Nothing so far..to those who are in, congrats!! Those that didn't make it, don't quit! The struggle never stops, my friend has her BSN and is currently looking for a job, it's rejection left and right, but she'll land something soon! Perseverance is key! Lotteries can be frustrating. Have you guys tried point-system based programs? Like El Camino College?

I just checked and I have not received anything yet Anyone else receive anything?

I've been accepted to Compton :)

Nope, still waiting.

Mine is the same, I just filled it out I was just about to print it out and just fill in, thanks for the heads up, cindyrn_!

Oh! I wonder if that applies to Compton as well, I might have to call and make sure.

Got my acceptance letter today! So happy!

I did. I hope so! I will be waiting here, anxiety filled and all lol :)

Oh man! Congratulations to all that have made it in so far! I'm still waiting for my rejection or acceptance, hoping for the best.

Now it's end of May?! Waiting is the worst part. Thanks for the updates! Here's hoping for the best.

The anticipation is killing me too! Hopefully it's soon, I'm thinking any day now? :/ I realized I put 77pts! That's not true, I'm at 67 pts total!

I hope we all do! I've applied at El Camino Compton Center, not Torrance. I Think there are only 30 chosen for Compton, so here's hoping for the best. Good luck!

Hello! After my teas I'm at about 77 pts ������. Hopefully that's enough to get me in ������������ I scored an 86 on the teas. How'd you do?

Such a relief it's all over! Hopefully we all make it :) Do you guys have an idea when we will be receiving our acception/rejection letters?

Awesome!! Congrats! That's an awesome score!

Hi! Sure! I used ATI study manual (as a study guide), mometrix book, khan academy videos (for science), Brandon Craft videos (for math). So for reading make sure you understand what they are asking when asking for main idea, supporting detail, conclusion, inference, etc. I love to read and feel I have good comprehension skills but I kept getting a lot of these wrong on my practice tests. Math: it's pretty basic algebra and some common/basic geometry (rec, triangle, circle) everything is fair play in the exam. Make sure you understand proportions and are able to convert between the metric system (Kilo, deca,...milli). Science: is probably the most challenging for people, it was the easiest for me only because I studied each 11 systems, some basic chem (mometrix science video on youtube) and some life science. I did skim over the reproductive and urinary and those were the ones that stumped me on the test . English was the most challenging for me, I read the the English portion on the mometrix book and did some problems, it improved my score tremendously. It's mostly the subject-verb agreement, understanding the proper use of a comma, semicolon, which seems easy, but simply being literate is not enough. If you want to go the extra mile, I recommend printing out some high school worksheets and getting some practice. I was definitely more nervous than I should have been, I took it at Compton College and the proctor was so awesome, she understood that we were all nervous. I left everything in my car, just took my id and two number two pencils, but there were some girls that had purses with them and had to leave them on the side of the room. Make sure you get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast. I slept only 2-ish hours! I just couldn't sleep and started getting a headache. Also, if you can, I definitely recommend taking the practice tests on the ATI website, they really help familiarize you with the content of the test. There's also someone that posted on here who scored a 97.3, he lists the subjects he remembered from the test, I printed that out and used it as a checklist. I just wish I would have started studying much sooner than I did :/. Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, ask away! :)

Hi guys! I scored an 86% :) Hopefully that's competitive enough to get me in! Good luck to you guys this Friday!

Got an invite for the TEAS as well! April 24th, so nervous. Good luck to us all!

I was told that we would not hear back until the beginning of May, I think the second week or so.

Hello! I've also applied at El Camino for the Fall term this year. I applied to the Compton College Center. Now just waiting patiently while studying for the TEAS. Good luck to us all

Thanks for the reply! I'm really nervous too! The wait is a killer. I know that LA Harbor and LACC are both lottery, not too sure abut LACC, but if I remember correctly they also use a lottery system for selection.

Also, does anyone know about how many people apply to the program each enrollment period? Just curious :)

I also just submitted my application today! Hoping we all get in. Good luck to you all!
