BSN Admission Anxiety

[TheNUPE1911]

Hello Everyone!

I am currently in the process of applying

into my University's BSN program here in Louisiana. My university most of the time only accepts students that have completed their general education coursework at the university. Normally there are between 80-90 applicants for 60 spots. The college stipulates that applicants must score a > 68% on TEAS and have a > 2.7 GPA science and overall . I am currently applying with a an 84.7% (top 10% at University and top 5% nationwide) on TEAS and 3.37 GPA. I have no C's nor repeated courses. GPA and test scores are combined together for ranking. I am extremely concerned that my stats are uncompetitive. A professor told me during advising that anyone with a TEAS greater than 80 is "basically guaranteed" a spot. Am I dead in the water, or is my anxiety warranted? Sorry for the long post. Also, we have no wait lists.

It's kind of hard for any of us to know without knowing the average GPA of those accepted and how applicants are ranked for acceptance, such as the weight of certain stats. For instance, in my program, the prereq GPA was less important when compared to the TEAS score because of how they weighed the scores when configuring your overall rank. Someone had a 3.3 and got in off of their 90% TEAS score and interview (when our average prereq GPA for those accepted was like a 3.8). So like your TEAS could significantly help you get it depending on how it's weighted. Or it could not help you as much if everything is weighted evenly.

If the advisor said that those with 80% are pretty much going to be accepted specifically to you knowing all the info in your application, I'd trust that person more than us.
