Anyone know the requirements to get into Daytona State College ADN?

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Specializes in Medical/Surgical/Bariatrics.

I just took my TEAS today and barely passed (overall score 66%, math 63.3 %, and reading 69%). My GPA is 3.79 and I was wondering if DSC looks solely at your GPA or both your GPA and your TEAS scores. I'm really nervous now that when I apply to the program next month, that my TEAS scores aren't good enough.

This was taken directly from the DSC website:

I know that you have to have a certain percentile in those areas, but it doesn't state on DSC's website if you need to just pass the TEAS or if they look for higher scores, along with a good GPA. I saw on one of these threads that some people have "heard" that you just have to pass the test and your GPA is the most looked at when the administrators decide on a candidate for the program.

Your competitiveness is relative and dependent on a variety of factors. How many applicants does the program accept? How many people typically apply? I would not listen to heresay regarding admission requirements. I would meet with a program adviser. They would be able to provide you with the most insight.
