Hi all,

I was accepted into the Fall 2020 class and currently enrolled. I always appreciated honesty when getting info about programs when I was applying, so I wanted to pay it forward. This was my second time applying to this program, I did apply for the Spring 2020 term, but I did not meet the cut-off mark. My pre-req GPA at the time was a 3.46 and the end mark was 3.53, I took Math 1275CO (applied my first time with Math 1190) and earned an A in the course which helped my GPA boot to at 3.57. With that being said, I would STRONGLY recommend you all to apply with at least a 3.55 or higher as for the past two semesters the cut-off mark has been between 3.53-3.54. One of the professors from the nursing dept said at one point they did go down to 3.30-3.40, but with each semester it seems to be getting increasingly competitive. I do not want to discourage you all, but I wanted to lay the facts out there and be completely transparent. However, DO NOT GIVE UP no matter how many times it may take you, believe me, I've been there so many times before, but if this is something you truly want to you'll find a way to figure it out whether it be here or at another program.

Best of luck to you all!

Hey,

Thanks for the information. I calculated my pre req GPA and it says it would be 3.55. I wanted to ask, what grade did you get in your TEAS? Is there something you recommend to study for it? I'm nervous about taking it since I'm so close to the cut off. I don't want to mess up.

Hey @Lauraxoxo,

Your GPA is good, but as I said before, the GPA changes every semester. I'm just going based on the past few semesters in terms of the cut-off mark. My TEAS score was around 72, however, as long as you meet the minimum passing score, the department doesn't really care what score you've earned. Your TEAS score only comes into play if for example the cut-off mark is 3.5 and there are 6 students with the same GPA with only 4 seats left then the dept would base it off your TEAS score to fill up those 4 seats remaining. Personally for me, the reading and the math where both my strong subjects so I just concentrated on those. I also tell people to really focus on both reading and math as they are the easier sections on the exam.

Hope this helps!

Does anyone have any info to if City tech will count TEAS score from another school? or do I have to Take the TEAS for City tech.

I believe you can but there is an extra fee to transfer your TEAS score. Keep in mind that city tech only considers the TEAS score that is taken within 1 year.

I know for the city tech nursing application to register for the TEAS they said once per semester and twice overall. Does that mean if I have taken the tease in a different school, that TEAS score will count as one try? Or for city tech I have two tries overall?

Hey there,

I believe you can use a TEAS scores from a different school as long as its within a year. You shouldn't be charged a fee because city tech doesn't accept your transcript directly from ATI. You have to manually print out your transcript yourself and send it over to the nursing department therefore not owing a fee. Regarding the twice overall thing, I'm not too sure how that works, but what I do now is when you go to download your individual performance Transcript report it does tell you on the upper left side how many attempts you've taken for the exam. I would email the nursing department and ask them about their policy in regards to that.

hope this helps!

@B20 basically what im saying is I took the TEAS in KBCC in 2015 and then after I enrolled to city tech I have taken it ( two times in city tech) the most recent was last month and I have gotten a 75 on my score. I wasn’t really in school for a while. But I read the TEAS application online for city tech and it says. I may only take the TEAS once for every semester and twice overall. Do you think that means overall for city tech or for overall in my life? I dint think city tech would also count my TEAS from another school as a first attempt

@Farhan3g I see what you're saying now, I would email the nursing dept and explain the situation. In that case, it may count as your overall, but like I said email the department and see what they say. I believe his name is (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME), he's the person who you would want to speak to.

Hi guys,

I am hoping to get into the Spring 2021 cohort. I just transferred and I am taking the rest of my prereqs. I am doing well so far but I can't help but be a little nervous. I just thought that reading the comments and talking to others who are going through the same process might give me some helpful insight.
