Hello! I’m in a similar situation with a previous degree and I’ve been in touch with SBCCs financial aid department. They have really good drop in hours in the afternoons and they helped me a lot. Someone else commented and had some good info! You’ll have to first do a FAFSA no matter what and then they’ll be able to help you. For my situation, I don't qualify for any grants or anything because I have been working with a decent income but I did get approved for $8000 in loans. It’s crazy how low that seems with the cost of living being so high in SB so I will likely need to look into private loans as well. The $8000 is federal and I think (emphasis on think LOL) the maximum you can get is 8k-10k for a whole academic year and then you can get more in private. As the other commenter said it does matter if you took out loans for your previous degree. Congrats on getting in ?

I haven't heard either which is crazy because the orientation for Summer is in less than 2 weeks, LOL! I believe SBCC sends acceptance, rejection and incomplete application letters which is nice. So we will know what the answer is regardless.

Yay!! Congrats ??

I believe I had 92-94 points but can’t remember exactly, hope that’s helpful! That’s awesome!! I do think most alternates get in because most students apply to multiple programs, even if it’s not this week, you should get it by the end of the month or beginning of April. Congrats ?

Got the call yesterday!! I got in, so excited!! Now I'm just waiting to hear back from SBCC. The only reason that is my #1 choice is because they have a program that begins in May. You applied to SBCC as well? I think youre on the other thread as well ?

Ooops wrong thread.. have not heard from SBCC

Nope!! I was hoping to hear by now... hopefully this week!! ??

Yay!! Thank you for the update ? I’m getting anxious and excited !

OMG yes! Over 300, my confidence nose dived LOL

Ugh im sorry! Hopefully it won't be the deciding factor and that your other points will make up for it ?

Wow you guys are awesome! LOL I’m just applying to moorpark and SBCC, I live In ventura so it’s convenient and my husband works in SB so that would be uber convenient ?

They said for sure by April 2nd but other message boards said they come out around 6 weeks after the deadline, so most likely middle of March!

That’s awesome!! I keep reminding myself that our chances are doubled since they are picking 2 cohorts :) I’m hoping to do Summer as well. Would start in May, so exciting!! That’s awesome!!

Oops! Sorry about posting the name

Oh man! That is a bummer but hopefully it will not be the defining factor. And dang I have not been able to get ahold of -------------------! I've sent a couple emails buts she has not replied LOL. Maybe I will call the health science office and see if they schedule it haha In regards to the TEAS, I took it at the beginning of the month and it was so much easier than I anticipated! I found this website super helpful! https://nursehub.com/ They offer a tonnnn of questions for $50, great value! I would say focus on the science because that's the section that seems to stump people
