SJSU fall 2009 semester

Published

Hello all,

I just applied to SJSU's program. I don't think I'll get in. My 30 last units gpa is 3.39, my pre req gpa is 3.23, and I scored 90.6 on the Teas, which means my impaction score is 10.24.

Though one part of me says that I may have a chance because students who already have bachelor degrees aren't alllowed to apply anymore (this is the first semester the rule is in effect), and there were several of them in the previous classes....I think someone told me there are about 15 every semester?

Your thoughts?

Don't give up hope but look into alternative programs and plan where you will next apply if the worst happens. Good luck.

This. Most likely you're living in Santa Clara County, and with that high of a TEAS score and decent GPA, your shot at EVC probably would be better. I made it in with a 3.33 GPA for both my overall and prerequisite science courses and a 80 flat on my TEAS.

Strobeable,

you're in EVC's program or SJSU's? And yes, i'm a Santa Clara County resident.

EVC. I was in the process of applying to SJSU's but I haven't even applied to the actual school itself.

I'm in my first semester of the program at SJSU and even though we were told that the limit was 60 students, they admitted 73 (perhaps due to extra grants, etc). One of my classmates was admitted into the program 3 weeks after acceptance packages were sent to everyone else. My class is the last semester to take in 2nd bach. students, and yes, there are a good number of them.

I applied to De Anza, Humboldt and SJSU. Was #10 on the alternate list for Humboldt (probably because local residents had higher priority). Didn't have a chance at De Anza's lottery.

Did you apply to other schools? Got any back up plans? My backup plan was to apply for Foothill's Dental Hygiene program (great school), but I'm glad to have gotten into SJSU.

thanks for the info. i'm glad to know there's a lot of bac degrees in your class! what were your teas, gpas if you don't mind me asking?

i've recently become a little more optimistic about getting in...i heard from a staff member that there are significantly less applicants this semester due to the new requirements ( higher gpa and teas, no more bach degrees, and less people being admitted into the school)...also, several of the applications received weren't even complete, so they were tossed immediately.

i guess EVC's my back up plan, but i really don't want to resort to that.

I had to deal with some issues with calculating my GPA because I transferred from DeAnza/Foothill but as I recall, my prereq's were 3.3, overall 3.7, TEAS 89 so my impaction score was about 10.56

that's good. i wish mine was 10.5....but i suppose i'm not too far from it. thanks!
