Thanks for replying! Yeah I'm not worried about getting into CSUEB, I'm worried about getting into their nursing program. I am transferring from a different university, and CSUEB claims that they will not look at my high school transcript. My college GPA is a 3.77. But I think you may be right, taking intermediate algebra could be helpful in preparing me to take the TEAS exam. I took college algebra 6 months ago and aced it, however I do not remember much of it And you're right, hopefully after I take the science classes I will be able to do well on the science portion. But I heard they put stuff about volcanoes and $&*@ on the science part! Haha what the heck? Have you taken the TEAS exam?

I am currently at a four-year university and I am working on the prereqs for their nursing program, however I have decided that I no longer want to be at this university because it is EXTREMELY religious (almost cult-ish) and promotes hatred and judgement towards minorities and homosexuals -- not okay with me at all! Well, I will be transferring back to my home state in January (I have to do fall semester at this crazy university because we already paid tuition -- I think i can stick it out, however I CANNOT stick it out for another three years) and I DESPERATELY want to go to Cal State East Bay. I've taken anatomy (got an A! I worked my BUTT off, spending 8 hours a day in the cadaver lab) at the four-year university, however I am not sure if that will transfer over to Cal State East Bay. That really isn't a concern for me, because I wouldn't mind taking anatomy again -- I love the subject and I know that it is CRITICAL to have a strong background in anatomy to be a great nurse. I have a 3.77 GPA but I know it will plummet once I get to CSUEB and take all their endless prereqs (there are a bunch of them). I have absolutely no self confidence when it comes to school and I truly believe that I am an idiot and completely incapable of achieving my goals -- yes, I know that sounds harsh, but I just can't make those thoughts go away. Anyway, I am also terrified about the TEAS exam. I bought a book about it, and I scored 100% in the math section of the practice test. However, I went online and looked at practice questions and they scared me to death. I couldn't do half of the problems! I have not taken Algebra II in 6 years (I'm 21, probably a little too old to just now decide that I want to get a BSN) and I honestly didn't do that great in it. I think I got a C. But I was 15 at the time! Same goes for the science portion of the practice exam. Sheesh. I guess I need to start studying now if there is going to be any hope at all for me to score in the 90's. I guess I just need some feedback -- a 3.77 really isn't going to cut it for CSUEB, is it? And there is no way I'm going to pass the TEAS. Does anyone have any tips about how to do well? I'm so discouraged...
