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.

@CAROLESCHOICE Hi I just took my TEAS and I scored a 68 I'm very worried bc I thought I did better than that and I am planning to apply to TWU Houston Nursing School and I have 2/4 preferences and with a 3.483 gpa and I was wondering if I have a chance to get in? I was wondering how many preferences did you have

Hi Anthonyx! Your TEAS score is the same than mine. Your GPA is also good. What does "2/4 preferences" mean? FYI - TWU was the only nursing school I applied to.

By 2/4 preference I meant to say I got an "A" in statistic and an "A"in A and P 1. TWU will also be the only school i apply to as well and did you get into the Dallas Center? I am attending TWU in Denton right now and I hope I have a chance of getting in. Do you know any other students who got in with a 68?

Were you a transfer to TWU?

Honestly, Anthonyx, I haven't ask anyone about their scores. The only scores I've seen are those posted on this website and ALL TeasV scores have been wa'ay better than mine. Somehow, though, I was accepted. I basically posted my real scores to encourage others to 'hang in there.' You don't have to have all high scores to get accepted. I'm obviously living proof of that.

After applying, I emailed the application department and (I guess) was assigned an academic advisor. She was EXCELLENT in letting me know stuff like how many applicants I was competing against, how my chances were based on the current applicant pool and what she'd seen, etc., etc., etc. Maybe you can do this. I would think you'd be able to get even better information because you're actually attenting TWU already.

Good luck, Anthonyx! :)

Yes, I was a transfer to TWU from the local community college.

Good morning, AnthonyX. How are you doing today? Have you thought about contacting the application department. The lady I talked to was over-the-top helpful and supportive! Hang in there. As to your TEAS, I wouldn't really give it another thought. The bottom line is that you qualified, period. That's the way I look at it. I'm not proud. I would have been happy to qualify by a fraction of a point, just as long as I qualified. Your GPA is also very good! If you pray, why not pray for Divine Intervention? Leave no stone unturned! ;)

Hi 1luvofnursing! I haven't seen the fireworks yet. So, is it safe to assume you haven't heard anything yet? I think all my stuff had to be in by February 1st. They let me know March 29th via email through my student TWU email that I had been accepted. Have you checked your TWU email lately??

Hi, I haven't taken the test yet but will on the 15th. Do you have any advice on the test. I was reading your comments about the time but was that all you had difficulty with. I'm applying for the spring 2013 and I want in so bad. Also, how was the math section? That's my weakest subject. Please, if you have any intel I would love to hear it

Does TWU base admission on overall GPA or prereq GPA?

Pre req GPA only.
