San Diego National University Cohort 68

Updated:   Published

Hi! I wanted to see what people were planning on applying with for Nationals San Diego Cohort 68. The application deadline is Mid August 2021.

I am not quite finished with my pre-reqs yet nor have I taken my TEAS, but I will update when I have!

My goal is no lower than a 3.6GPA, and 86% or higher on the TEAS

I can relate to the 10 year process. I am in the same situation. Still nothing. Maybe a lot of people that got emailed today were second attempts.

Yes, I interviewed for last cohort as well. Then when I got denied, they said your GPA was low. I had 3.4 now I'm at 3.8

Hi all! I'm part of Cohort 60 that's graduating next month. Feel free to ask me anything!

Hi There! Do you have any advice on the interview for the application process? What types of questions do they ask and if I have 0 patient care, does that completely ruin my chances of getting accepted?

Hey guys, I’m from cohort 60. I got a 94 on the TEAS, first try. Here’s my recommendations:

Study the reading questions. The way they word them can be tricky. You can know the content but still get the question wrong. 

Which leads to my next point: spend the time to read the section of the prep book that talks about how to read the questions. You have to know what they’re actually asking for. That was the biggest problem I had. Once I figured it out I did a lot better.

Practice tests A and B on ATI we’re really helpful. Yes, they’re expensive but I recommend you do at least one. If you can only do one, do the B exam. It’s a lot harder than A BUT I found the TEAS to be easier than B so it was good practice. I scored 4% higher on the TEAS than the B exam. 
 

Feel free to ask any other questions 

Do you have any suggestions for the interview? What types of questions do they ask? And how important is it to have professional patient care experience?
