SJSU FALL 2021 BSN

Published

Hey Guy! I am creating this for those applying to SJSU Fall 2021 nursing program. I wanted to see what the applicant pool looks like! Here's my stats so far:

Big 5 GPA: 4.0

TEAS: 80%

Impaction score: 6.66

I don't feel so confident due to how competitive it's been :/

I'm in the exact same boat. I thought one B in Philosophy of all classes wouldn't matter - especially because it was only the big FIVE at the time that counted for SJSU!! So stressful. And a huge bummer...

LITERALLY! I got 89.6 in micro. It was like 3 points from an A. I was so salty when she hit me with the B. I slayed myself that semester for that grade too??

Hey yall,

GPA for Big 8: 3.86

TEAS: 95.3%

Impaction: 7.04 (I think? GPA + TEAS/30)

Does anyone know if micro would count as 4 or 5 units for SJSU if I took it at another school that counts it as 4? Every email reply I get from the nursing director is always unclear or doesn't answer my questions completely. ? 

 

I took a 4 unit micro class.  Program coordinator said it should be fine as long as it had the lab included.

Hello,

I’m not applying for Fall 2021 but for Spring 2022! I was curious about the impaction scores and statistics because I am not the most confident in my chances, even if SJSU is my dream nursing program. I’m currently taking Microbiology, which is the last of the Big 8 courses.

Big 8 GPA (assuming I get an A in Microbiology): 3.62

TEAS: 95%

What will my impaction score be, and what do you think of my chances? And please don’t look down on me for having a much lower GPA than the other students here ?

Hey! Thanks for posting this!! Would you mind sharing your TEAS/GPA in the big 5 (or 8?) and what semester you were admitted?

I got a 92 on my TEAS with around a 3.6 GPA and was admitted for Spring. A higher GPA would be ideal for fall admission due to its more competitive nature. But don't lose hope! SJSU was my do or die school and it took me two applications to get accepted (also had to retake the TEAS again since my first score was low 80's). If you don't get accepted for fall  2021 and you know you have decent stats you can choose to still attend the university to be eligible for Spring 2022 which is a much smaller application pool.

oh no yall I applied with a TEAS score of 80 & I took it before dec. 17, 2020. I had no idea that they didn't accept online proctored exams before then. I already used up my 2 tries too. am I going to expect a rejection letter?

is Spring admission only for sjsu students?

Hi guys, 

I know that we have to send our transcripts to nursing, but do we have to send to sjsu as well before feb 15?

Yes, Spring is only for current sjsu students and those with prior bachelor's degree. 

You don't have to send any transcript to the school itself until they specifically request you to. Go to your sjsu account and it will say in your "to do list" if they need a transcript.

If we don't get in to the program but we get into sjsu for our alternative major, we can apply for Spring nursing? I never knew that! that's good information. thank you! :)

for those who have scored above 90 on TEAS... what tools helped you the most, and any tips ? ❤️
