Hi all! I know it's early in the game, as the previous application cycle just ended, but I'm applying to Gateway's ADN program for the next cycle and felt like comparing stats.
My Stats
Bachelor's Degree in non-nursing field from UConn
School I'm applying to: Gateway
GPA: 3.69
A&P I grade: A
TEAS: 90
Rank: 93.625
I'm very nervous about acceptance because I heard Gateway is one of the more competitive schools and a nurse at the LTC I'm working told me they won't accept you if you have a chem grade below A even if your GPA and everything else is high. Is that a myth or true?? My UConn chem grade is B-, I've never been good at chemistry. But my A&P I and II and all my other courses besides microbio are A.
One question: Does anyone know how many apply to Gateway on average and how many get accepted?
Feel free to copy and paste the template to share your stats! Let's get this conversation going! Good luck everyone!

Information About Others:
No potentially libelous information about specific schools, instructors, or health care facilities/entities should be posted in these forums. While it is important to be able to network, everyone should be mindful of the following:
It is a small world - when we narrow it down to a state and throw in some personal info, there is actually a pretty good chance someone may recognize you if you are not careful. Your privacy is paramount to us.
While this site is a wonderful place to vent (without excess personally identifiable details) it is not the place to express why ("x" specific person, place or program) is terrible. Gripe away, but since we cannot permit allegations to be made about named entities, your care in not naming them is very much appreciated.
Please do not give out personal identifying information about yourself or others. Do not name names where anyone could identify any person in any facility including your nursing programs or place of employment.
I'm not sure how or where to find my ranking but if you do I'll go check it out and update.
Here's how you can calculate your rank!
(GPA x 25 x .5) + (A&P I GPA x 25 x.25) + (TEAS x .25) = X

Hi! I applied to Gateway's ADN program for the 2023-2024 application cycle. I also applied to Southern's traditional BSN program. I'm already dreading the wait to find out if I've been accepted or not..
GPA: 3.96
A&P I grade: A-
TEAS: 72.7%
Rank: 90.8
For those who may not know*Calculate your rank with this: (GPA x 25 x .5) + (A&P I GPA x 25 x.25) + (TEAS x .25) = X
You do not need an A in chemistry to be accepted into Gateway, but of course, your grade will matter for the overall nursing GPA. The nurse who told you that is spreading false information. This is coming from someone who attends Gateway, and has went to their nursing information sessions.
I will let you know if I get accepted when the time comes!
Hey there! I hope you're doing well. Any news on your acceptance to Gateway?
Hi is anyone still waiting on a decision? I haven't received the email nor has my account been updated. It still shows that my application was completed.

It's my understanding that all the decisions were sent out on Friday. I would definitely reach out to your school..
Hi! I applied to the nursing program at the Norwalk campus for Fall 2024, and I'm wondering if anyone from past (or current) cohorts could tell me what they think my chances of acceptance are given my stats, and tell me about their experience in the program.
Nursing GPA: 3.37
A&P1 grade: A
TEAS score: 78
I think using the formula someone else provided above, this should make my "points" 86.625/100. Is this typically competitive enough to get into the Norwalk program based on ranking?
