ouch, if that's how they decide and pick those in the program percentile range I'm Screwed! I am in the 71%. I did decent on my science and reading, just not so hot on the other two.

i am pretty sure you guys will do fine! my overall gpa is kind of low so i hope that won't affect me. By the way, are you guys/girls a transfer students like myself?

I'm a transfer student as well. My overall GPA is only a 3.45 :/ Which i know is not very good especially for these highly competitive School slots. But I am hoping My TEAS score compensates for it ..high 90's program percentile. How bout everyone else?

littlekrickett, i have a feeling you will be getting your letter in no time. I think its usually an issue if your GPA is around LOW 3's. Students will not have any room for wiggle once in the program even if they do well on the Teas. But your combo is absolutely okay.

I'm a transfer student as well, so my GPA is around 3.54 or maybe a little higher, not sure yet. I'm in my last semester of Prereq's but so far my prereq gpa is a 4.0. No class repeats. My GPA is lower because of some classes i took a LONG time ago.

But from various professors i have heard that 3.5 and above is what they look for, but with your Teas score it wont matter!

I do have a question, the program percentile, is that for JUST FGCU or is that for BSN programs like ours? Thats how one of the test workers tried to explain it but it wasn't clear to me...

JC9295, I think it is program wide BSN. When I sent in my appplication FGCU told me that my TEAS was scored incorrectly for ADN but that they would rescore it for the BSN Program Percentile. Then they sent me a message that said they had rescored it and it was on GULFLINE.

hey guys.. just saying that if you are a transfer student like myself, Your overall GPA changed once you go to another school.. i had a 3.43 GPA and found out i have a lower GPA when i applied to fgcu nursing last semester. hoping i get accepted this time.

littlekrickett · Feb 12, 2014

I calculated mine based on only the courses FGCU accepted.. but I dunno if I got it right or not. Who knows. I hope so.. FGCU is my Number 1 choice.. My problem is FGCU is one of the only schools in FL that doesn''t have a 10 yr rule.Some of my PreReqs are really old. LOL .I have applications at other schools in other states.. but boy do I love the FL Sunshine.

Littler rickety, your gpa for the fgcu nursing program is ALL the classes you ever took. I sat down with a counselor and calculated mine. They look at your prerequisite gpa but what they are looking at is all incoming individually. They put the credit hours and quality points in a calculator and determine your overall gpa.

I really hate that it take 8-10 weeks for a decision. I''m so impatient.

Hi Everyone!

I applied as well, I wasn't very happy with my TEAS I got a 74 overall but a 79 in my science section my math brought me down a ton. When i applied i had a 3.5 GPA but will have a 3.6 after this semester! I am starting to get really really impatient i just want to know if i got in!!!
