Hi everyone! I’m starting this thread so we can share our application criteria points with each other! I just turned in my application today. I have between 85 and 88 points. I have 3 B’s on my science prerequisites :((, 4.0 gpa for all the general Ed courses. I have fluency in Spanish, an associates degree, CNA, and volunteer experience. I scored an 88 on my TEAS! I hope they can look past my grades in my prerequisite courses and I get in!!! I hope we all get into this cohort! Good luck everyone

Thank you! I will relax.... Sorry to be super annoying... I'm annoying myself ?

I also feel like I'm being annoying by asking so many questions. Oh well, closed mouths dont get fed?‍♀️?

Ah, no they never asked for any money to cover that yet. I was wondering what will be going on at orientation. Do we do all that then ? Do we get our picture taken and scrubs issued? I'm not sure. I wish I can take a pic of the acceptance letter and post it and show people. I always wondered what it said when I was snooping through these posts.

Well hopefully the alternates don't have to get the ADB check until after we get an official acceptance, should we be accepted... I don't want to also have to pay $80 until I am 100% in. Lol

Sure they will go through everything during orientation. Hopefully 4 hrs is a long enough time for them to go over everything, and answer all our questions! ?

Last thing I will say or ask for a while.... Lol

Did you get an email confirming they received your acceptance? I just hope they received my email.

No, we all didnt get an email confirming they received ours. Someone asked that on the Facebook group. I just checked my sent outbox to make sure it sent. And its 80 dollars for the background check and drug test? You know alot of details. Lol

I’ll say this again everyone on my cohorts alternative list got in I wouldn’t worry so much also being you guys got accepted so late usually those with a lot of points got in somewhere else and will forfeit their seats do not stress and if you didn’t get denial or a seat letter your most likely on the second list of alternatives I have a feeling a lot of you will get in. We found out in March if we got in or if we were alternatives and the alternatives got emails April 5th for a spot and some even got in a few days before the school started stay positive guys not everyone knows this website is out there so you won’t know for sure but stay positive please alternative email is better than nothing trust me on that adn i was an alternative and I got in!

I’m from your cohort and I personally know an alternate who didn’t get in. ?

That's not bad. The program I went to was 1800 for everything included. It was a 22 day fast course.

I went to the Red Cross for my CNA and it was 4 months long on Saturdays/Sundays and it was $1500! I wish I knew of a cheaper option back then.

I heard there are free cna programs but there is a waitlist.
