WGU So Cal August Cohort

Nursing Students Western Governors

Published

I just submitted my application for the August cohort. I will be coming from San Diego, so will do my clinicals [presumably] in Orange County. If you're applying for August in So Cal, feel free to pop in and commiserate. :)

Check your wgu portal! I just got in!

Congrats!!! I didn't get in this time. Still says, "qualified for consideration. in review."

So happy for you! I knew you'd get in. Back to the books for me.

maybe you did! Someone else found out before me so maybe they are updating as they decide? I’m still crossing my fingers for you!!!

Specializes in ICU.

According to my portal, I was admitted, but I have not been contacted by . Regardless, I already started a different program so I'll be denying my admission if they actually contact me.

My counselor said that they are still filling the cohort, but there are only a few sports left. So, I am not optimistic. She said that we should know in the next few days.

Talked to my counselor yesterday, and I did not get in. They only had one cohort of 10 open for August, and they had to honor the previously admitted people from the cancelled April cohort. So, there were only a couple of spaces in August open for 350+ applicants. My counselor said that the nursing director urged me to reapply for October, and that I was a strong candidate. But, there are obviously no guarantees. I am very disappointed, to be sure. Considering now whether to retake my TEAS since I finished in less than 90 minutes (went waaaay too fast) and only scored an 89 (when I had been scoring low to mid 90s in practice). The October cohort will be at Cedars and has a July 1st deadline. I am going to take a few days to think about how to proceed.

I'm sorry to hear that! Cedars is such an amazing hospital to train at though! A level 1 trauma center!

The hits just keep on coming. My admissions counselor let me know that Cedars Sinai has changed its policy. They now are asking to give preference to Cedars employees for nursing cohorts with clinical locations in Cedars hospitals.There are 17 Cedars employees that have applied for the October cohort (10 spaces), so my advisor recommended that I start applying to other schools. I am supposed to retake my TEAS next Friday, but at this point, it is all looking rather hopeless. #NursingShortage

Retook my TEAS today and got a 94.7 but, with the bias toward Cedars employees, I am not sure that it will be enough.
