Applying to schools is a long & stressful process, I know exactly how you're feeling right now. I was admitted to the FGCU BSN program last semester (Fall 2010). I scored an 86% overall on the TEAS & a 76% on the science portion, and my GPA was a 3.3. The average GPA was between a 3.4 and a 3.5 last semester. There was a girl who got in with a 3.0 but she had in the 90s on the TEAS. I would say you're right at the cutoff & it could be a 50/50 chance. DEFINITELY apply to more than one school, I applied to three or four w/ only one acceptance. Even apply to community college associates programs...you get paid the same as a BSN RN!!
Hey I applied to FGCU too. When did the Fall 2010 applicants receive their acceptance letters last year? I'm anxious to find out if im in or not. I have a 3.5 science gpa and a 3.46 overall GPA and a 84 TEAS score. Any advice?
Thanks for the info Itsjlarious, are you in the program now? if so, how do you like it there? How's your schedule, how tough is the program? Details please!!!
