Do you know by chance how long it takes to get your TSI scores back?

Tprofitt, BSN · Feb 24, 2016

I got mine back as soon as I took it. I ended up with a 384.

Great! I plan on going over to take it this week.

I didn't get to mention it in my opening paragraph but I this thread was for the ADN program. And to md0627 good luck!

Just saw your forum and same thing happened to me! I got denied for the Spring 2016 all because admissions changed the name of my microbiology class on my transcript that I sent them to it saying general science so when nursing was reviewing applications they didn't see my microbiology class and so of course they automatically denied me! So I applied again for this fall and have been checking constantly and even went up there to make sure they see all my classes and make sure they have everything they need. I am trying to re-take the TSI reading exam though to score higher because I only got like 3 points above the minimum requirement to apply. I'm praying that I get in for fall 2016.

Good luck on the test. Apparently for me, they said my gpa was too low and they didn't even add in all of the classes. They only used 3 of the 5. I didn't question it though, in just let it go. Although I should have called Mr.Moody because he is the one that is supposed to check all of the criteria so we can even be considered in the applicant pool. What is your overall score? Mine is a 446

Same with me whe they denied me I just let it go I did try to contact mr.moody but never heard from him. So I called like in December and that's when they told me the reason and they were like "if you would've contacted us earlier we could've done something about it and given you a spot but now is too late because you have to get the background check and that take 3 months and classes start in January" I was so pissed off. I added up my score and I have a 397 which I know is low :/ so I'm going to try to score higher on the TSI so it can add up the points.

I wonder what is the lowest score they have accepted.....do you know?

Tprofitt, BSN · Mar 23, 2016

Not sure the exact one but in a thread on here for the spring. One person in there got in with like, 402. So if you score somewhere around there you should be in luck. In the meantime I'm just taking classes towards my bsn. Chemistry and govt. What have you done with the extra semester?

vanessa0710 · Mar 24, 2016

I got permission to take Health Assessment class at San jac for the summer which is good because I would get that out of the way other than that I'm just missing my govt. Classes and chemistry to finish my bsn courses but since I plan on doing bsn at UT Arlington online they don't require chemistry so I just basically need my 2 govt classes.

Tprofitt, BSN · Mar 24, 2016

Oh wow that's great, and I didn't know they don't require chemistry. Was last semester your first time applying to an adn program?
