FGCU nursing program

I am applying too! Do you know when we find out?

We should find out in mid April. In regards to the first post about the TEAS exam...there really is no 'minimum' score, but as a rough guideline I would say 65% and above. Do you guys know how competitive the FGCU SON is? I know my school (UNF) only accepts 48 people...I'm scared, lol. Good luck ladies.

YES, I heard that we should hear about acceptance in Mid April. Also, the nursing adviser said the average mean score for the Teas science was 76.91.

To itsjlarious: Are you applying to UNF as well?

I am applying to UNF and FGCU and UCF.

well I'll keep you guys posted if I get accepted to the Nursing Program. Good Luck everyone!!

I am applying to UNF, FGCU and UF. Couldn't apply to UCF because I got a C+ in chem instead of a B. Where do you attend school now?

:)Hi, I'm Currently attending Edison State college and I'm also applying to their program as well (forgot to include). I'm 19 years old and I already received my A.A. degree but I'm deciding whether to get My bachelors in Nursing or my Associates in Nursing. I know it probably makes more sense to get my Bachelor's but just in case I don't get accepted to a Bachelor's program, I will be applying to a Edison State's Nursing program just in case and do my bachelors right after that becuz Edison has a RN - BSN. :uhoh3:So, what's your plan??

Wellllll my plan is similar to yours. I'm 19 & have my A.A. as well. I know I want to get my BSN, but if I don't get into a nursing school at a University, I might just have to get an A.S. & do the RN-BSN program (which I'd rather not do...) I am very worried because my cum GPA is only a 3.34 & I got an 83% on the TEAS--other applicants seem to be doing way better than me. I just recently learned that a 3.3 is pretty low for nursing school. Wish me luck, I'm scared. On the bright side, someone will always have a better GPA than me and someone will always have a worse GPA than me. I should stop worrying about the competitive factor because the decision is not in my hands & there is nothing I can do about it. =/ Do you know how competitive FGCU's admission process is? Do you think I have a shot with a 3.34?

i don't know how competitive fgcu it's nerve wracking, i can only speculate i emailed the nursing adviser and she said the average (mean) score for those who were accepted were as follows:

teas percentile rank - 73.35

teas science - 76.91

i think if you fall between these scores you should have possibility of getting in but gpa i'm not sure. my gpa is not all that high either i have a 3.27 but i didn't take general chemistry yet (4 credits). i'm just as scared but i can only hope and pray that i get accepted. i don't really know how many applied to the school or what their teas scores are. but i have to look on the bright side i'm still young and i can always do it the long way and i can't give up. i hope they look at more than just look at gpa . i think if we have a shot and just stay positive!!!

let me know when you hear something.

How did you do on the TEAS? I only got a 73 in science but an 83 overall. ahhhhh! thanks for the positivity, I really need it right now =/ sorry to keep questioning you lol

That's no problem I like to hear others that are going through the same thing I am.

well, for the Science I got a 73.3 and Overall i got a 73.

Now I feel a little less confident that's not really high, but I thought the science was a little difficult and your score is pretty high. If I had to guess what the committee would be looking at closely it would definitely be the Science score and percentile rank and Prerequisite GPA!!

But Lets hope for the Best I think we still might have a chance just stay positive. :)

Oh, let me know if you got an interview to the UNF program, we should get a letter in the mail tomorrow or Friday!!

I talked to FGCU today. They do not look at pre-req GPA, only cum. The average GPA is a 3.4. TEAS: they look at science and your percentile rank. Those are averaged in the 70's. She said the lowest GPA they've accepted is a 3.01 & the lowest TEAS scores were in the high 50's low 60's. If we do not get in for fall, they can automatically reprocess our applications for spring.
