What is the content of your essay? Are you telling them what you think they want to hear, or are you expressing your personality and setting yourself apart? The former isn't so much what they're looking for. I personally treated the essay like an interview and flowed through it sort of conversationally and added quirks. I literally used the phrase "who the hell" in mine, lol. Be bold.

I also got in-- congrats to everyone who did as well. I am 90% sure that I will not be accepting, and giving the spot to someone else. again, congrats!

I heard that too! LUCKY kids, I would have loved to do that

sooo did you get in? lol

@SherrifutureNP we have another couple weeks to find out... first or second week of april is what we were told on essay day

yes it comprises a lot of the science portion, along with basic chemistry

CONGRATS!!!!

We don't find out what our essay score is, you just find out whether you were accepted or not (but i would assume you can ask after u get accepted). From what I have heard they do whole numbers, one person could grade you a 4 and another a 5, and your essay score would be 4.5, but I am not 100% sure on that. total score: TEAS 40%: (0.TEAS score) *40 ex: 94.4 TEAS = (0.944*40) = 37.76 points GPA 40%: 4.0 would be 40 points, 3.9 = 39 points. 3.65, = 36.5 points etc Essay: 20% We don't know this, but you can guess and play with the numbers, by multiplying your guess score divided by 5 (1/5, 2/5,3/5,4/5 or 5/5), by 20! ex: 3/5 = 0.6 0.6*20 = 12 points So in this situation, add up all the points: (37.76 + 40 + 12) = 89.76 points (ish) If this is wrong someone correct me ASAP!! pleasE!!

Same here Hppy... will be high tailing it out of California once I get my license.

could someone email and see how many applicants are still going through with this cohort? I bet we've come down a few from 200

Positive thoughts coming your way!! I can almost promise you did better than that ? Good luck!!

I would focus on the essay. I fell into the same mindset trying to study for the teas and make it better, when really all it would do is give you one or 2 points extra. I wish I had prepped for the essay better, and I really believe that I might have sunk my chances even with the GPA and TEAS I have. I believe on other cohort pages there is a list of essay topics, and those are what we got! Nothing weird.... but getting a full 20 points would do a lot more for you than an extra 1 or 2 on the TEAS side. GOOD LUCK!

I think you're in a really good position for this cohort! I know that doesn't ease the worry but I really mean it! Your TEAS and GPA alone give you 74.48 points, which is awesome! Can you give an honest judgement of what you think your essay would score out of 5? (Be brutally honest, I don't think i did better than a 3/5 lol) They have two people read it and give a score, and then the two scores are averaged. Then that score is equated to x/20 points and added to your 74.48. Play with the numbers, i bet you'll find it pretty motivating!

good news, no curveballs. Go get em!!

I know, this cohort is so quiet!!! But to answer your question, there are just under 200 applicants this time around. Not bad! I've heard of cohorts having 300!!! I am looking forward to having this process over with, and counting down the days until its essay and TEAS time! I'm on the 20th. Anyone else?
