I don't think they go by a point system. I know they look at the number of withdrawals and repeated courses over the past five years, GPA, number of TEAS attempts and the score. They have information sessions throughout the year that really help, you can go to their website to find the dates.

Hello Watashi,If you type in the search bar here on the allnurses.com website "gpc acceptance letters," and read the posts you'll that some students received the acceptance letter as early as April 2nd.

Hello AAuld, and welcome. How did you do on the TEAS? Do you mind sharing your GPA also? Thanks and good luck!

Hi Barankasia, and welcom to you as well! You have nothing to worry about! Your scores are great, but I know how you feel...until you see black on white the result you don;t have piece of mind. I feel the same way.

TygasPoohbear, I do wish they would go by a point system, it would only be fair, in my opinion.

I ran across those blogs yesterday, and now that I know they can possibly come that early I'm going to be stalking the mailbox. I kind of wish I would have not stumbled upon it.

How does the point system work?

Tygas,

I am not entirely certain, but based on what I know and heard, it is basically based on what GPA you have they give you points, then depends on your TEAS score they give you more points, etc. Lets say for example for a perfect 4.0 GPA they give you 10 points, but if your GPA is lower they substract points, then lets say for a TEAS score of 100% they give you 10 points also, but if your score is lower they substract again points base on what your actual TEAS score is...so on and so forth...they give and take based on their requirements (science GPA, withdrawals, TEAS repeated, etc)...then they would make the decision based on that point system. I believe it is more fair and more chances for students to get in even though they have repeated a course. Without a system in place, I believe they just put aside all the students that repeated classes or TEAS, even though their GPA is much higher than the ones that got accepted in the program with no repeated classes or withdrawals.

That does sound better than what they are doing now. I don't understand why schools make it so hard for those of us that work really hard to get into these healthcare programs. I don't think they should have so many stipulatations with a so-called nursing shortage. It's really sad.

I have a 3.5 GPA and I scored a 72 on my TEAS test. I'm hoping the fact that I made an A in both Chemistry and A&P will help my chances, as well as the fact that my highest scores on my TEAS test were in Reading Comprehension (93%) and Math (88%).

I wish everyone good luck! I know it's kind of intense waiting to hear a definite answer on who made it in the program!
