ASU Post Bacc - 2021

Published

Hi Everyone!

I've created this chain for anyone applying to the ASU Post Bacc BSN program for the 2021 cycle.

A little about me: I've completed all the prereqs and just took the TEAS last month (scoring a 93.3% so if you have any questions/are about to take the TEAS soon please let me know!) I'm 28, originally from CA but now living in AZ, and even though nursing will be a 2nd career it's been a dream job of mine since I was 18. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Just took the TEAS and it got me worried because I did not do so well, which I already expected since I have been drained from work every single day because we lost 2 staff members at work so I had to carry that weight. So everytime I go home I didn't really have the time and energy to focus on reviewing. ???

I think the chances of me getting accepted will be low now. Because I only got 78 while others here are getting 90s

I wouldn't worry too much, I know others that have been accepted that did not do well on the TEAS either. Can you retake it?

If your GPA is good, you should be fine! We also have no idea how many people will be applying/have applied. There is a past cohort where the lowest admitted advancement score was around 1.5 something. You never know!

I'm pretty sure you can only take it once per cycle unless you failed it, which would be a 58% or so.

I cant retake it unless I failed. I think it's only one test allowed per application cycle. They only allow retakes if I failed

Scored an 86.7 on the TEAS. Not quite as high as I would have liked, but I'm feeling confident about my advancement score. 

Provided that I'm accepted, my next challenge is figuring out how I'm going to pay for it all LOL.

Are you guys planning to live off of loans or work while in the program if you get in?

More than likely, a little of both. I'm trying to stash away as much money as I can right now.

Im hoping to pay at least half of it myself (from savings) and then the other half through FAFSA (that way I don't have to pay interest until 6 months after we graduate.) I did talk to the financial advisors and they suggested this site for help if you take out a private loan: https://students.asu.edu/loans/private

I've done everything except for the lab work - probably going to get that set up this week. Only one month to go before we hear back! ?

Hey everyone! 

I was just wondering if any of you went to the application workshop the Friday before the application deadline? I thought I heard one of the presenters say that we can expect a decision by Oct 1 but now my brain is playing tricks on me and I'm not sure if I'm remembering that information right. Do you all know the date we are expected to receive a decision by?
