I got the acceptance email yesterday as well! I am so excited. @doulatorn2016 are you able to access the orientation materials on canvas yet?

Well that's good news! Me too, I took anatomy and physiology in the spring, and Micro this past summer! I am presently doing a second semester of chem at coc, while waiting to get into a program. You still did well in anatomy, that is impressive to have a baby during the semester, I can't even imagine! Good luck with the TEAS, and keep me updated about your journey. Hopefully we will both be starting this fall :)

Very cool! I too am intrigued with pursing nurse midwife, but I am open to other possibilities. I became a CLE about 3 years ago, and was working in a lactation center. I started taking classes with the idea of becoming an IBCLC, but as I went along, I decided RN would be a better choice for me. I still would like to work in lactation, and I may get my IBCLC certification after I complete my RN. COC is my first choice too, because I live locally. I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old, and am a single parent, so staying in town would be awesome! Ask your counselor about academic renewal...I was able to remove old math classes from my gpa, and replace them with my new grade. Did you take your pre-reqs at COC?

I took it through PSI testing, because I needed to have my score on file with AVC by march 1st. I am glad I got it out of the way, because I was really nervous going into it. Hopefully they don't penalize you too much for the W, especially since it is so old! It might be too late, but I wonder if you could do academic renewal on that to get it taken off of your transcript? Either way, your points sound competitive. Do you have a background as a doula? I ask, because I ended up choosing nursing after going back to school to be a lactation consultant, so that is within my area of interest as well :) Good luck with everything! :)

Hi! I have applied to COC and AVC for the fall. I have a 3.2 overall, a 4.0 in the sciences, work experience, and a 90.7 on the TEAS. I spoke with someone in the nursing office who told me that last year 65 points and up (on their multi-criteria points system) got you into the program. I really hope I get in!! Good luck!

Anyone else willing to share their stats?

I have a 4.0 in the sciences and a 3.2 or so over-all. I also have healthcare experience. I haven't taken the teas yet. I am studying for it now, and it is stressing me out! What resources are you guys using to study? I have found that there are not many resources available for the new version of the Teas.

Hello. I was wondering if those of you who were waiting on pre-req evaluations have applied yet? I just submitted my application this morning, even though I never heard back about my pre-reqs. Have you guys applied to any other schools? I am really hoping to get into COC, I am not applying anywhere else this session. Now I am just waiting for the first round of emails to be sent out in mid September! And trying to study for the teas! Good luck everyone!

I was so happy to see someone started this thread! COC is my first choice, and I have been looking forward to applying there for so long. I'm so happy to finally be done with all of the prereqs! I am waiting for the email from COC to let me know that I can apply...It took a little longer because I took Micro at coc this summer, and my grade needed to post. I was considering Moorpark too, but the commute would be a bit tough for me. Glendale is a good option too. I'm not sure how much those C's will hurt you...with the point system you may be able to make up the points in other areas. I started studying for the teas, but I plan to start really focusing on it more near the end of September. Good luck!!
