Riverside Community College Spring 2012 Applicants

MishBezer · Nov 24, 2011

Thank for every ones reply!

I was wondering though, does anyone know how many applicants applied this Spring Semester. I spoke with a counselor at the RCC nursing department and she told me that only 120 got invited to take the TEAS at RCC. That being the case, and since I got accepted, does any think I would have a chance of getting into the program?

Sadly, this is the only school I have applied at for the spring, so I am rooting on this program.

Rcc goes by a point system. If u weren't invited to take teas at rcc u can still go some

Where else and take it. the better u do on teas gives u more pts

MADISON1234 · Nov 24, 2011

So people who were invited to rcc don't have priority over the ones who didn't get invited. It's strictly all pts. Hope that helps

Madison1234,

I completely understand stand, but what were the reasons that allowed others to get invited vs others that did not get invited? You would think that if someone did not get invited to take the TEAS at RCC, he or she possibly has a bad science GPA or has not completed all of the necessary prerequisites. In either case, he or she would have a difficult time getting into the program. Don't you think?

Also,

Since I completed all my prerequisites and all the general educational requirements and have a total of 70 points, do you think I have a chance of getting into the Spring program?

Thank You

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Invites we're by science gpa only that doesn't mean the person has all the PTs in other areas plus if they got a low teas score that means less PTs for their teas. I'm hoping they let in 75 PTs since last semester some got in

How does RCC picks the applicants when the points are tied? For instance, 20 applicants have 70 points, and only one spot is available. Lottery?

MishBezer · Nov 24, 2011

Madison, how many points do you have? by the way, do you have all of your prerequisites completed?

MADISON1234 · Nov 24, 2011

Not sure how they pick if more than one have 70. I have 85 pts and all per read everything done

MADISON1234 · Nov 24, 2011

I mean 75 pts. I wish I had 85 Lol

MishBezer · Nov 24, 2011

Madison,

Do you think I have a chance with 70? I have every class completed.

MADISON1234 · Nov 24, 2011

I have no idea

So you were invited to take the TEAS at RCC? AND you finished all your GE? If that is the case I am assuming you did very well in your science pre-reqs and GE and the only thing that is pulling your score down is your TEAS V score. I would re-take it if you didn't do so well then you can really get some more points! :) And just because some people were invited to take the TEAS doesn't mean they have more of a chance in getting in. For example, I wasn't invited to take the TEAS at RCC but I took it somewhere else and it boosted my points by 30 points as opposed to someone who did get invited to take the TEAS at RCC but didn't do so well and maybe only got 20 points. Hope that makes sense... Good luck I hope we can all get in!!
