Started a new thread, since the other threads on this topic look like they are from last year.
Okay,
I just got my acceptance letter in the mail today!!
I was going totally mental with anxiety, checking this board several times a day to see when people were hearing back, compared to when they had applied and what their stats were. I was also very nervous about how I had done on the TEAS, so I wanted to post my info to help other people a little. Here are my stats:
I applied to the school January 4th, 2010. I took the TEAS January 23rd, 2010.
Previous BA degree in anthropology. I graduate in August of 2009 with a 3.46 cumulative GPA.
I took A&P I last fall, at Gateway: B
Developmental Psych: A
TEAS: 81.2% (mean national was 72.8% and the mean for the program 73.3%)
My adjusted individual scores were as follows:
Reading: 82.5%
Math: 82.2%
Science: 70%
English: 85.5%
In all my nervousness, I called two days ago and was told that I would likely hear back from the in school 4-6 weeks. Then I got my letter today, February 5th. For the record, my admissions essay was based on a CNA training course I took in the fall and I also think that having a previous BA really helped, especially in seeing past that nasty 70% in the science section of the TEAS.
Good luck and I hope this information was helpful, or at least of interest, to some of you!!
I applied in late december, but it took a while to get all my transcripts to the school. I got confirmation via email that the school had everything mid January. I took the teas exam Jan. 22nd and it was exam 5! I had studied from a book that was for exam 3. I was so upset! I have a great gpa and wonderful recommendations, but the waiting is killing me!!
I just sent everything in last week, and had taken the TEAS prior to applying. I know its pathetic it has only been a week and I am already driving myself crazy. Did you find out your TEAS score yet? You have good stats already so that's a good thing.
@pinklady - I'm definitely going. I just paid my deposit and turned in my confirmation paperwork. now its just a waiting game to find out if i got into days or nights. I'm anxious to get my schedule so i can work things out schedule wise for my other committments. I cant not work but i need to let my employer know asap.
So my stats.. I believe someone asked. I have a 3.6 and took the teas twice. First time, not so hot.... 2nd time a 79.2 . I'm not a great test taker, but i think they just want atleast the program average or better. I'm also sure it helped that i had 3 great letters of recommendation.
I sent in my application in October, but i took the teas for the 2nd time January 14, and my acceptance letter was dated 1/26
I can't wait to meet those of you that i will be on this crazy adventure with!! and best of luck to those of you who are still waiting to hear.

Don't forget you had to write an essay. Something I wish more schools did.

Hi bkgrosso,
I applied in late december, but it took a while to get all my transcripts to the school. I got confirmation via email that the school had everything mid January. I took the teas exam Jan. 22nd and it was exam 5! I had studied from a book that was for exam 3. I was so upset! I have a great gpa and wonderful recommendations, but the waiting is killing me!!
How about you? when did you apply?
