San Joaquin Valley College (SJVC) - RN program Cohort August 2024

[Celeste94]

Hi everyone, I summited my application last month (May 2024) for the next cohort that will take place in August. My GPA is 3.5 and my TEAS is 66% (Not high enough) . I'm really nervous and not sure if these scores are strong enough to get in. Share your thoughts.

Just scholarships, they gave a paper during financial aide interview. Also looking for third party loans on your own. Those options aren't the Best but worth a shot.

No other private lender works with them as far as I could tell. I've tried pretty much everywhere. Only options are Sallie Mae, institutional financing or personal loans but I've read that you can't use personal loans on tuition unfortunately.

I got the paper , that's a bummer only got half the cost covered and even with a co-signer there credit needs to very good as well for Sallie Mae I tried 2 different co-signers and couldn't get approved for Sallie Mae so I was curious what loan options other students are using?!I've looked everywhere a lot of places arnt working with this school I got 17k covered thru fafsha and the other 24,000 I need covered for their lvn-RN bridge program 😞 

[Dnurse00]

is it best to get approved for the loan now if youre going through sallie mae?

 

[Clarissap1]

Yes, cause if you can't get the funding then it won't matter it shows a instant decision if your approved

August Cohort - Theory/Lecture is on Wednesdays and Fridays (all day, usually around 7-5 or a comparable time), plus one day of Clinical Rotation per week as well. Clinical day will vary based on what portion of the program you're in and what site you're assigned to.

 That's directly from an email I received. They told me clinicals wouldn't start until 5 weeks in

Did everyone get that email with the schedule? I didn't, I was thinking the the days were Tuesday and Thursdays and of course that extra day once clinicals start.
