Hello!! This will be my 3rd time applying to SAC RN program! Was denied the last 2 times. ?

They say 3rd times a charm! ??

I'll being applying with either 85 or 83.5 points depending on how the TEAS goes next month. I'm praying to get into the Extended Campus Program. I have a ton of experience and work for St. Joseph I'm praying that will all be enough.

The nursing counselor Mary is an absolute gem, she was so nice and helpful going over everything with me I highly recommend talking to her if you have questions.

Thank you so much for the support! I'm praying it should be enough. I was told to shoot for around 81 points.

If I may ask. How many points did you apply with the last couple times?

Hello!

I will be applying with 84.2 points. This will be my second time applying. Last semester I applied with 82 points and did not get accepted. The cut off last semester was 87 (it says on my rejection letter). Since my last application I have retaken my TEAS so I slightly bumped up my points. Hopefully its not as competitive this time around.

Hi everyone!

I'll be applying with 88-91.5 points. I applied last semester with 82.5 and did not get in. This is my 6th time applying (3rd time at Santa Ana) so I'm really hoping to get in!

Hi,

I will be applying with 89.5. If I calculated correctly.

JD1989 · Feb 15, 2020

Just got my TEAS results. Scored an 80% grammar and chemistry killed me but I’ll be applying with 83.5 or so points. Good luck everyone.

Has anyone here attended a workshop that they could share info about for those who have not been able to attend. I might be applying with 88.5 afterall.

A little confused about the social/educational disadvantage part.

Thats great you scored at 80. I also scored 80 though of course was aiming higher. Surprisngly scored 87 in the science part. But there are many other ways to gain points. Goodluck

Where does it explain what the extended campus program is about? How do you get in that? Do they choose or do you? Does your experience only have to be at St. Josephs? Ive worked for a hospital for a year and a half but not there.
