4.0 GPA and I got 70.7% on my TEAS.

Did you apply anywhere else? With those stats you have a good shot at cos or pc 

Tomorrow marks 2 weeks that applications closed and I'd be lying if I say I'm not worried because I haven't received a call for an interview yet

No I didn't. I reviewed cos grading system I didn't think I would make it. But I did apply to Fresno city college and west hill lemoore.

Ohh okay. I didn't apply to cos either. I was thinking of applying to Fresno city but I honestly don't want to commute so I didn't apply. I applied to pc but that's a shot in the dark and I know I'm not getting in there. My only real hope is sjvc. I'm assuming the cream of the crop will go towards the cheaper routes and maybe I will get in that way as an alternative to their seats LOL

I hope you get in to SJVC too. You did your interview already right?

OK so after the interview they'll  let us know if we got accepted right? Don't worry too much, I'm pretty sure they're still going through application. I would much rather go with community college just cause it's much cheaper.

Yes. I think someone mentioned on here that in march they'll be announcing who was accepted

So I got impatient and walked into sjvc to ask if they already had made all their calls for interviews and the front ladies told me yes that they were already scheduled for the next two weeks. I never got a call at all so I'm going to assume that means I didn't get in at all. Unless by some miracle I get called I'm going to take it as a rejection. I honestly feel so shattered. IDK what I am going to do with my life now. This is all I've ever wanted to be and I can't keep retaking classes because most programs take off points or just don't let you apply if there is more than 2 repeats. This was my last shot. Unless I get my CNA license and go LVN then bridge over to RN but I just didn't want to go through nursing school twice because I'm already 30 with 3 kids. I don't have that kind of time. Honestly I'm devastated. What's your guys plan B if you guys don't get in. I'm sure yall will get in though with 4.0s and high gpas.

Sorry to hear that. I understand how frustrated and devastated it is for you. But just because people have their interview doesn't guaranteed them a spot either. Have you consider applying with Gurnick? Also apply to other community college next year when the applications are open again. West hill lemoore is an all point system and Fresno city is half points and half lottery. If you couldn't get in to nursing school this year I would suggest do something like you mentioned CNA and work your way up. Being a CNA also give you points and help getting in as well.

Yeah I'm taking a deep breath and trying to think rationally about this. I am going to go for my CNA try to get into the hospital and reapply from there. I guess if LVN is my only option I'll go that route. It's not the end of the world it just feels like that at this crushing moment. I know I'll be okay at the end. Goodluck to everyone

Not going to lie it is a difficult time and I am in a similar boat. Did you try scheduling something with them when you went there? Regardless; I am trying to exhaust as much possible routes as possible. I was originally going to a different private school that charged a lot more, unless I retake courses (anatomy, physiology, Microbiology and G.E.s) to cut down the cost. I got into a rabbit hole about "recency" and how long my sciences last until they expire. I intend to apply to a few of the nursing programs at community colleges and see where that takes me. At the same time; I am leaning towards being a CNA so I can also apply to be  LVN. The pay is still good and it is something you can do while being in a RN program. I am 36 and of course I feel the urgency to get this done with. But the entire ADN program will take you 2 years from start regardless. It is a pretty horrible situation to continually wait while you feel hopeless and not having a direction. My problem now is that I feel like there is too many directions for me to choose. Efforts to attaining a Career that is going to sit with you for the next few decades is going to take some time. It is unfortunate but I am also coming to terms with that. I have found so many LVN programs that ranges between 35-45k then I eventually found city programs that offers them between $8K to $11k. So if there is a will there is a way.

Since I came here crying a few days ago about not getting a call I think it's only fair I updated yall. I got the call today and am set to interview next week. I'm so excited/nervous. Best wishes to everyone!!
