I only got 84 points. One reason could be my volunteer hours; I didn't have that much (only 60 hours, I think) and my GPA isn't really as outstanding compared to other applicants. Idk about universities, they seem to have more complex pre-reqs compared to other colleges. Also, I want to get my ADN first, get licensed and work as a RN, save up, get some work experience and proceed to BSN eventually.

Hi Thanksforthedonuts, I heard from a few people that Seattle Central has a very disorganized program. Do you know in terms of what? Is it the scheduling? The teachers? Lesson plan? The reason I'm curious about all these is because I just got an acceptance letter from Seattle Central this morning and I only have 8 days to think about whether to accept the spot or not. But hearing all these negative things about the college makes me have second thoughts. I also got waitlisted on BC, prob is I'm on the 15th rank... so I'm not really so sure about getting into fall cohort. So it's kind of a tough decision for me right now.

It seems like nursing schools are getting more and more competitive every cycle and it stresses me out. The TEAS VI really dragged my points down. I wish I can take it again but I already took it twice last December. It sucks that I have to wait another year to re-take it. If I don't make it this year -- Fall or Winter, I am thinking of pursuing Respiratory Therapy since both programs have kind of similar pre-requisites. Anyway, Good luck! I hope you get accepted at LCC. :)

Hi everyone, I am worried about my nursing application. I applied to 7 nursing schools in WA state for fall quarter (BC, LWTech, North Seattle, Seattle Central, Shoreline, Highline, and South Puget Sound CC). I am also waiting for June to apply in TCC and Skagit Valley. I already got 2 rejection letters from SPSCC and Shoreline. I was wondering if I have chances getting into the other programs I applied to. My GPA isn't that impressive -- 3.5, I got B's in Nutrition, A&P 1, and 2 then B+ in Microbiology. I got A- in Stats and A's in Eng, Psych, and Chem. I took TEAS 6 twice and only got a 78 on my last re-take. I have been working as a CNA/Patient Care Technician in a hospital for 2 years now (but I doubt this will make my application stronger than other applicants). I am slowly losing hope right now but I really wanted nursing as a long-term career. I am thinking of re-taking my science classes if I don't get into any programs this fall. I am just wondering if anyone got into these schools with similar circumstances? Thank you!
