First time user! I was wondering if there was anyone applying for NU cohort 49. This would be my second time applying for this program and I have been wondering if this would be a good time or when it would be good to apply again. The cohort I applied for was very competitive, the cut-off was 89 points!! Normally it's at about 82-83 points I believe. My final score was 80.7. I am interested in retaking my TEAS since I scored an 80% the first time to raise my score.
I would like to know applicants gpa and teas score if they've already taken it.
How does everyone feel about their TEAS exam? I was talking with the women that was administering the exam and she said that the average was around 78%.
Are you saying that the national average was 78% or that the average for National University applicants is 78%? I believe you can see the average % for National University applicants (and nationally) in your ATI profile.
If I understand it correctly, National University applicants scored an average 70.6%. To me this seems low, especially after seeing what everyone is posting on here. Also, the overall national score appears to be 64.3%.
Also, I didn't feel that I did that well. There were more questions than I expected that I simply had to guess. However, I got a 90% "adjusted total score".
I took the essay and TEAS today (8/19/16) so I likely saw many of you there.
I am a bit confused on one aspect with the scoring. Is the TEAS exam (worth 40% of the points) calculated based upon your "adjusted total score" or is it calculated based upon your percentile? If it is based on the "adjusted total score" I am surprised to hear how high of a cutoff there is. I scored a 90% (adjusted total score) which is in the 99th percentile nationally. So that means I would only get 36/40 points? That seems silly to me.
I have a 4.0 in all my science and math prerequisites; I'm hoping between that and a 90% TEAS will be enough. I nearly ran out of time on the essay - and wasn't all that happy with what I had written. :-(
Scored an 83.7 at National, but also scored 85.3 at SDSU. Obviously I will be using the 85.3 score. My GPA 3.7 and I feel ok but not great about my essay. Hoping there's not too many out there like MOTUOFM with 4.0 and 90 TEAS! LOL..
I am honestly surprised at how competitive this whole nursing application process is ceekay619! It's been a bit of an eye opener. I was wait-listed at the other school I applied to. With my hospital consulting experience and references I thought I'd have the red carpet rolled out...it was definitely a reality check.
4.0 and 84.3%. Not as good as I was hoping on the TEAS. I finished, but ran out of time on the essay as well. So, we'll see what happens. It's all out of my hands at this point. Good luck to everyone
Did anyone write down the email of the woman who proctored the TEAS Exam and essay on 8/19/16? (So that we could check on our essay scores) I completely forgot to write it down before I left.
She said it would take 2 weeks to grade our essays, right?

@rja1993 there was a fair amount of Anatomy n Physiology as well as chemistry, not so much microbiology in the test I took. Best of luck!
