⭐ What LA Students Say
"CSUN nursing is impacted — you need a 75%+ to even be competitive. My first TEAS was a 68%. My tutor spent 8 weeks targeting Science and Math with spaced repetition drills. I studied on the Metro during my commute using the micro-review sheets she made me. Final: 78% composite. Got accepted."

"I applied to Mt. SAC and ELAC simultaneously — strategy my tutor recommended. She helped me understand how points-based admission works in CA and which sections to prioritize. Scored a 76% composite — got into both programs. Chose Mt. SAC for the clinical partnerships."
