What scores do I need to get into nursing school?

[nmchile]

Jus tcompleted my TEAS test. It took me a little over 1 1/2 hours to take it and scored 90.0% composite. I went to the nursing advisor at the college I am looking at to see if I really need to take it again in January (have to wait 6 weeks from today) because they take the higher of the two scores. She pretty much could tell me that while my scores are competitive, she couldn't say whether or not they would be good enough to secure a spot in the program. The school takes the top 40 students and bases it on GPA and TEAS scores. The breakdown is this:

(GPA - 2.0) / 2.0 = P P x 500 to get GPA score

Adjusted score from TEAS x 500 = points for TEAS

My GPA score is 447.50 and my TEAS score is 450 giving me a total of 897.50 out of 1000.

The school I am looking at San Juan College in Farmington, NM... anyone know if I should bother with taking the TEAS again in January, or if the 90% is good enough?

Thanks!

If they take the best of the two scores, then you will not be hurting if you take it again and increase your score, if you don't increase your score you have lost nothing. good luck to you! Way to go on the 90%!!
