Congrats! When did you get your letter? What was your rank? I'm hoping I at least made the alternates list but I guess i'll see!

I got my letter on March 17th. You should call and ask if you're tired of waiting. I don't know what my rank was but I had 159 points which was more than necessary I know.. How many points did you have? I think they accept those with 145 or more. Good luck and keep me updated!

Wow, that's pretty quick. I guess I will call. I know I would have heard something by now if I got in, I was just hoping i'd be an alternate. I had 143 points since I'm just now taking A&P :\ Thanks for replying!

Dixie, I was going to apply last semester but I lacked Anatomy. My advisor told me not to waste my time applying. She said Anatomy was important in showing that we could excel in this type of field. If you're having problems getting into Anatomy I would suggest you check out http://www.nvcc.edu . I couldn't get into anatomy at Forsyth Tech so I took it online through NVCC. You do all your tests locally through a proctor. It is a thousand a semester..so two thousand all together for A & P I and II.. but it's worth it in my opinion. It is way too hard to get into anatomy. If you have 143 points without Anatomy you're doing great :yeah:Keep up the good work..and get this Anatomy taken care of and you'll be in like Flynn. Let me know if you need anymore information about that class or if there's anything I can do.

I was in the same boat youre in last semester...and this semester I was accepted. You are probably better off this way because Anatomy is a hard class. You probably wouldn't want to take it on top of nursing classes.

Of course there's still the possibility that you got in...i'm just saying don't feel bad if you didn't. Good luck!!!!

Oh oops.. you said you're just now taking A & P as in you got in the class? If so, you'll definetly be in next semester...they just wanna see that grade.

I had 146 and did not get in the program.So I guess you needed more than that because I have not received an acceptance letter. :nurse:

is a 70.6 good enough for the teas at forsyth? what about each section? anyone know?

missdixie023 · Mar 31, 2010

tm - I would definitely have thought you would have made at least alternate list with a 146. I know I didn't get in either because I had about a 143. I was still holding out hope because I knew some folks last semester who got in off alternate's with a 140 and such- but we would know that by now for sure. I'm taking A&P 1 now and 2 over the summer so i'm going to try again for spring. maybe i'll see you then!

courtney - i'm not going to say that a 70 isn't good enough because I don't know how many points you have from your other classes. I would say though, that it would be pretty hard with a 70. You need to score at least 40% in each section. I made an 80 on my teas and felt like I did pretty badly, and obviously didn't get in for fall. I would sign up for ACA-085 if i were you :) Good luck!

if i don't get in in the fall i will reapply in the spring
