I got a 75% on my TEAS V test. I know I needed to get at least 85% on my Teas V score to be competitive on most BSN programs.
I found out that West Coast University is now accepting Teas V scores with a minimum score of 58%. So with a 75% score on the Teas V, I was a qualified applicant and I didn't have to take their HESI exam.
Once you're qualified based on taking their HESI or Teas V, the biggest qualifying factor you have is getting approved for Financial Aid or Private Student Loans. If you have all your finances straight, then that's when they secure your spot in their Nursing Program.
However, my biggest gripe right now and most of the students that I have spoken with is that they have a weird system of transferring credits. Each student I spoke to had different experiences on what classes transferred to that school and what didn't.
For example, WCU transfered all of my science classes that I took at Los Angeles Valley College:
Anatomy
Physiology
Microbiology
Psychology - Intro
Psychology - LifeSpan
BUT, they didn't transfer my General Chemistry.
They transfered my CAL STATE LA:
English 101/102 but they said that both my English 101/102 class that I took only transfers over to their English 140 Written Communication I, but not to their English 140 Written Communication II.
They also didn't transfer the following G.E. classes that I took in CAL STATE LA:
Philosophy
College Mathematics
Public Speaking
Their reason is that CAL STATE LA is a Quarter system and WCU is a Semester system. This is how they calculate it: 1 quarter unit = 0.67 semester unit
In addition, if they don't think your class is equivalent to their class they won't accept it as transfer credit.
My biggest advice is to go to their transfer credit website: 4
May I ask what 2 classes you have to finish up? Lucky you have until June to start the core! I have Hum 370 and Psyc 290 that I didn't take in CC. That will definitely be the most exciting part. Hi Jasmine my name is Julie !
Of course, I need a speech class and a math class, sorry I don't have what type of math or speech it is as in the section number, plus we also have to take the mandatory classes that wcu needs such as the first yr seminar and ge capstone and pathophysiology and all that. Your classes seem more interesting than mine do though, I'm sure you'll do great in them! It's nice to meet you julie!
Hi I'll be attending the school this month. I can help you if you have questions to the best of my ability. I just don't know how to pm you, I'm semi new to this.

Can I ask you how your schedule looks? The classes I have to take on the 22nd are First year Seminar, Lifespan Psychology, and Critical Reasoning. I have not received my class schedule yet due to some things missing with financial aid but I wanted to get an idea of how many days and the hours are for the classes. I have 2 small children so I am trying to figure out their care schedule.
Sure! Ok so for me I'm also taking the first yr seminar which I have scheduled for Monday only 12pm-5pm then Tuesday 6pm-11pm and then Wednesday 6pm-11pm. I was hoping not to get any night classes but unfortunately I did since we don't make our own schedules.
Everyone's tuition will be different based on what you qualify for financial aid. The less pre reqs you have to take, the better so you. I have to take 2 pre reqs just like you so it will take me 2 years to finish.
I received something called a book voucher which I received through a grant. It gives me a total amount of how much I'm able to spend on books alone just for the first academic year. If you don't use the whole amount that is given to you just for books you have the option to roll it over to the next year, did that make sense?
When I went to my financial aid appointment the advisor said that this voucher is included in your tuition unless you request to not get the voucher. Therefore, the school will give you the voucher code and you can use it in their bookstore.
