Barely passed Teas for Texas Woman's Univ -- is there still hope?

Nursing Students TEAS

Published

Hi All,

I took the Teas V and passed. I ran out of time on two sections which drastically brought down my score to a 66.7%. I lost track of time on the very first section (Reading) and never regained my momentum or composure. I am so disappointed and discouraged. I am so nervous about whether I will get accepted. I have a 3.84 GPA and 3 out of 4 first attempt A's (A&P I/II, Microbiology). I was told by my nursing advisor that I needed to get an overall score of "80" to be guaranteed acceptance. Has anyone been accepted to TWU's nursing school with a test score of 66.7%? Unfortunately, I can only take the Teas once per application period. I will be devastated to not get accepted because I have worked so hard to get good grades and prepare for the Teas. Also, I have some friends that I took all my pre-req's with and we developed a study group. We were all hoping that we would go through nursing school together and maintain our study group.

Hi Anthonyx!

I've been at TWU in Houston for the last 2 days doing orientation. I ran across several folks there that were transfers from the Denton campus. I asked them why they chose to move to Houston to attend the nursing program when the same program was offered at home, in Denton. From their feedback--it seems that TWU students automatically get a "bump up" on their scores (TEASV?) if they're already a TWU student. That makes more students qualify for the nursing program. The more students that qualify increase the number of applicants. Therefore, in reality, it makes it much tougher to actually get accepted into the program because there are just sooooooooo many applicants for so few postions. Does that make sense? Also, in Houston, there are so many nursing schools, some of them within blocks from each other. The competition is literally right around the corner. Sooooo, basically, what the kids are saying--their "bump up" scores wouldn't cut it in Denton. In Houston, however, it was a different matter. Today, there were at least 5 or 6 Denton students starting the nursing program in my class. I hope this information helps you.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Hello!

I am applying to TWU for the Spring 2013 and I am soo nervous about my TEAS score! I have a 3.7 GPA and a 2/4 first attempt "A" and I got a 73.3% on the TEAS! I applied to one other place so I am hoping that I will get into one of them!!

Where was this at? so frustrated!!!!!!

Hi CarolesChoice,

I am currently taking Pathophysiology at TWU-Denton. Still waiting to hear if I have been accepted. My understanding is that applicants should hear something by Nov. 1st. Until then, I am praying and crossing my fingers/toes. I am hopeful but have a backup plan if I do not get accepted. Dying to know already -- not sure why it takes so long.

Hope things are going well for you.

Yipeeeee, I got accepted for Spring 2013. Still can't believe it. I am so excited.
