I created a facebook page for the concord students.. anyone thats attending the concord campus please add..

Lol I don't have one either , ill have to make one too when we get a Facebook page. Thank God I m not the only one. Hahaha

That's a good idea let's make one

Thanks for the heads up I'm gonna check my po box. I was thinking about going to the concord campus and making an appointmet with finacial aid office. I also can't access it online. Does anyone wanna take a class in the summer to take some classes out of the way?

Yeah I haven't recieved any kind of confirmation either, and I literally wrote back right as soon as I got the acceptance letter since east bay was my first choice. Has anyone recieved a packet in the mail?

Hey thanks so much for sharing all the info with us. It's nice to hear from someone already in the program.I am sure everyone here is excited to get together for the orientation and get to know eachother I know I am. I'm definately choosing concord campus since I'm pretty familiar with the area and love all the open space around the campus, so relaxing and I don't have to worry about parking. I have taken all my pre reqs at Diablo valley college which is on a semester system so I'm sure making the switch to quarter system is gonna take some time for me. How was your first year in the program ? Is it possible to keep a job during the program. Are the classes harder than the pre req courses? So many questions to be asked during orientations.....

Oh nice so u live in. Concord, I used to live off of Ayers road which is right across campus back in the day. So I'm pretty familiar with the area. I like the open space all around the. Campus . And not having parking issues like we would in Hayward makes it so much easier to choose that campus. Totalyy excited to meet you ....

I'm in too so excited finally the wait is over .....congrats everyone.... Anyone commuting from Pleasanton/ San Ramon area to the concord campus?

Yes I'm in just got the email .....so exciting finally the wait is over.... My stats were 3.88 pre req GPA and 84 teas test ....oh and I also filled in the launguage form.... I'm sure that helped a lot... So any of you guys commuting from Pleasanton/ San Ramon area to the concord campus? That's definately my choice

Yes its totally nerve racking, the past 2 days seem like weeks, I called the nursing department yesterday morning and they told me the letter are going out this week via snail mail and email. So literally I have been checking my email every 15 minutes. East bay is my first choice although I applied to 4 more schools. Just wondering what is everyone stat here that applied to cal state east bay? My GPA was 3.88 on my pre reqs, and I got an 84 on the teas ( not.as good as I was planning to do) I only took the teas once even though the school allows 2 tries, something came up and I wasn't able to retake it to improve ny score. I also.filled.out the foreign language form.

I appplied to cal state east bay nursing program and I'm so anxious these days as the acceptance in the program is gonna change the direction of my life. I called east bay today and they said that they are going to send out the acceptance letters sometimes this week. I can't even begin to describe how nervous I am these days. My pre req GPA was a 3.88 (I only got a B in one of my pre reqs.) I took the teas test only once altough the school allowed two tries, I got a 84 on my first try and wanted to take it a second time but didn't go through. ( main reason why I'm so nervous now I wish I took the second I also got 5 extra points for speaking a foreign launguage fluently.

Okay so I took the teas test Saturday morning...gosh it was a long test...by the time we got to the English grammar part i just wanted to get out of there.... im still waiting on my results...... i took version 5 the paper version......does anyone know how long it takes for the results to show on your ati account?...also when they post the score do you get an e-mail notification right away?.... i thought i was ready since i bought the manual about 8 weeks ago and started to go through it right away made flash cards note cards, and started memorizing concepts and revisiting old ones i had learned.... i even took the last 2 practice tests at the end of the book and missed only 1 or 2 questions from each section.......thats kind of signaled me into thinking i was ready to take the test.........not at all the case... I am a math person so i wasn't too worried about the math part but i revisited all the concepts anyways......i thought the actual teas was much easier than the ati manual..i had like 15 minutes of extra time..... too bad they dont let you go back sections.....but that's about the only thing that was easier.. i thought the science was completely written by a different company all together..... even though i had practiced and went over all the concepts mentioned in the ati book ..........even as far as expanding more upon the concepts it had mentioned...for example the mitosis and meiosis steps, differences,.....human anatomy... lots of chemistry( i was a chemistry major so i have taken chemistry beyond pre reqs for nursing)..... i felt l was not prepared........ the science part was definitely not at all like the manual....i am actually kind of mad now at ati..,.for kind of attempting to fool me.....1)into thinking i had to know things that i wouldn't even have one question of like lots of human anatomy.......and 2) for not providing a clear list and topics and concepts necessary for preparing for the TEAS.....3) for having so many mistakes in the books i had to contact them and they said there was 3 page correction up on the ati website for the book seriously who writes this test??or should i say the manual? or are they separate entities?do they know each other or at least keep in contact??.......are they just doing that so that you take a second time test meaning more MONEY for them................................... okay enough of me complaining.... i need some advice from those of you who got 90% and above on the test...what is your secret? how did you study for the test?? the program im trying to get into is extremely competitive and i need to score above 90% to even be considered!!!! so please share your study secrets.......... thanks in advance ps (although i don't have my test score yet i know its not that hot since i glanced over the science section and could barely answer the first 5 questions i panicked and probably did worse than i would normally i will let you guys know how i did once it posts)

i think they might have more dates later on, but i wouldn't risk it just make an appointment with ati website there is a testing center in oakland and one in sacramento i believe. https://www.atitesting.com/Home.aspx

I'm applying to the same schools as you, just to be safe, but my first choice is east bay. where do you live?

hopefully we will all be classmates

hey both campuses are the same distance to me , Im in San Ramon. I prefer the concord campus, since its quieter there. like nicole said its tiny, only 2 or 3 buildings, a few times that i have been there I didn't even see any students. The only problem is that you dont get the whole UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE experience, but honestly that's not very important to me.

hey Nicole i went to the general advising two weeks ago,she said that not a lot of people have the special criteria, and only a few per year submit them and that usually everyones score is below 90.....

"So I'm currently taking physiology, microbiology, & statistics for this semester. I have an overall GPA of 3.8 & my TEAS score is 93. " hey where are you taking your classes at? im currently taking my last 2 pre reqs too speech and critical thinking at DVC figured i would take easy ones last so i can focus on my teas test. I'm scheduled to take it November 19th you did so well 93....how did you study for the teas?what books did u use...? thanks
