That TEAS score is amazing! I'm pretty sure that puts you above average compared to the Spring 2022 cycle so I think you're nearly guaranteed to get in! 
Mind giving a few tips for the TEAS? That's the last part of my application and I'd love to get a similar score

I bought the mometrix book and the smart edition course. I thought the smart edition really helped me with English and science while mometrix helped me with reading. I also used YouTube, I watched nurse cheung, Professor yu, and Carolyn McAllister.

Hi Chica! Might be a dumb question but how is your GE GPA 4.0 and Science GPA 3.76. Does it mean that they do not include science in the other GPA category for impaction score calculation?

Science and the ge foundation are counted separately. Science GPA is solely chem, Microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. I got a b in micro and when I calculate the GPA for just these 4 classes together, it turn out to be 3.76. The Ge foundation classes that they are taking into consideration for the application  are oral comm, written comm, critical thinking, and stats. I had all A's in those classes and ap credit for written comm so my GPA for ge would 4.0. They don't look at your other ge classes like ethnic studies or humanities stuff.

I see. I thought they count overall GPA regardless of what classes you took. Thank you for the clarification!

Hi, thanks for creating this thread! This is a silly question, but how do you calculate the impaction score? And also please let me know if you know the cutoff score. Thank you! :)

(Science GPA) + (Gen ED GPA/2) + (TEAS Overall x .02) + (TEAS Reading x .02)

Took the TEAS so time to list my stats!

Science GPA = 4.0
General ED GPA - 4.0 
Overall TEAS = 94
TEAS Reading = 92.3 

4+2+1.88+1.846 = 9.726 Impact score 

Hopefully, this is more than enough to get in!
