After reading over the topic discussions for SSU for the last 6 cohorts, I have finally been inspired to start a topic! I just just submitted my application for SSU's pre-licensure BSN program. On one hand I am happy it is out of my hands, on the other - it's going to be a loooong six weeks.
While I was preparing to apply, I spent a lot of time trying to see how I measured up against previous cohorts. I found the application statistics (e.g. GPA and TEAS score) that previous applicants had published to be extremely helpful and wanted to initiate something similar for future applicants. Since we will likely never know what we earned on the essays, we can figure our score out of 80.
This application cycle SSU awards points for the following:
Prereq GPA 25 points
Overall GPA 25 points
TEAS 15 points
Local area 15 points
Essays 20 points
So, what does our applicant pool look like?
What are your statistics and how many points did you score in each area?
Good luck and I am really hoping to meet some of you in the fall!!!!
Hi there. I am an alternate as well. I wish I had more information about how many they usually pull from the alt list. I want to get excited but am also trying to be realistic.
I know this is an older thread but I was curious about the essays. I'm writing mine now and will be applying for the Fall 2018 semester. How long did you guys make your essays - I didn't want to go overboard and write too much.
Also, did any of you ever get told what you got on your essays?
