Ohh crap, I thought 73 was low and those who didn't do so hot on the teas had a chance of getting in. I got a 78 on the teas and it said my program percentile was an 86%. Does that percent even matter when being considered for admission?

No. Its just gives you an idea of how many people did better than you. The later you took it, the more accurate the program percentile is. Looks like the average is higher this year. Last year it was in the 60s. Now I'm getting nervous.

If the average TEAS V score was about 65 (it actually dropped slightly from last spring to fall for MDC ADN applicants), I don't see how it could be 73 now. That just doesn't add up.

I agree that the avg seems higher, but that's what an advisor told me. Sometimes I think they don't give out accurate info until after they're done accepting students for the term.

Yeah its crazy. I would have scored better if I would have studied english composition. I could not tell you the difference between an adverb and adjective for the life of me. But I would say that with any competitive score in the 80's is good. The girl that took it with me had a 4.0 GPA and scored an 88.9 on TEAS and she was nervous. I said, "Get out of here with that, you have nothing to worry about unless they lose your application."

I need opinions ...? I tried to expunged it but according to the state of florida you cannot expunge burlary unnoccupied of dwelling, but i could expunge the misdeamenor.....anyways you guys think i have chance..? I already tried calling the nursing board and they told me, they cant give me a straight answer, in other words they told me to risk it. I need opinions if anybody knows somebody who succeeded with a record..please let me know....i made a mistake when i was 19, now im 25........i just wanna be succesfull in life

Hi there,

I can't give you any answers, but when I got my real estate license, I was told to be completely honest when disclosing anything (not that I had anything to disclose). It's possible that you may have to make an appeal and be able to explain where you were and where you are. Maybe you could ask an adviser or even professor how that process works for someone in your case. As it stands now, my recommendation would be to go ahead and prepare that appeal to be ready. Since I don't know how the process works, you can take what I've said with a grain of salt. I wish you luck and which ever way this goes for you, don't give up and don't go back. You've made some great accomplishments and you should be proud and continue progressing and building yourself a prosperous life.
