I took the TEAS V on the 4th and my GPA is 4.0. Check your student email if you got in they sent it out on monday the 18th. I hope you made it

Okay, good just making sure I have read so many different post on here but anyways. yes I made it and I am sorry that you didn't make it in but there is a rumor that they are going to widen the program for January 2013 and they will pick 50 students instead of 25 even though they only pick 17 this time, so I was told. (you might want to ask your nursing adviser).. I was rooting for you to get in I saw where you posted about taking the TEAS V exam.. but have you considered other schools close to you? That was ALWAYS a option I left open for myself. What was your TEAS V score?

Please Do not get discouraged, God will make a way for you

Oh really? 50 ppl? I dont know why they only accept so little now.This is my second time trying. I made a 64 on the teas test. I didnt finish 15 questions in the reading part...wasnt paying attention to the time. I have a 3.4 gpa. I spoke to a girl that had a 2.8 and she said she got in. she scored in the 70s on her teas. I am really really in awe at how she got in. but anyways I have been looking into other schools but they are so far away. but anyways....what did you score on you teas?

Kayla<3, LPN · Jun 25, 2012

Ya that was what I was told but like I said, I would speak to an adviser. I made a 62 but I have a 4.0 so my overall score was a 50. I think the reason why I did so poorly cause I had to guess on the reading part and some of the math bc I was running out of time. I wish I would've managed my time better, but hey I can't fix that. I did better on my practice TEAS V test. I will just blame my low score on nerves and running out of time lol :) . Are you going to try again in the fall? You do know they will be selecting again? That was one of my plans if I didn't make it..

Yeah I will try one more time if I dont go to southern crescent. Im looking into that school as we speak. But a friend of mine tried to get in and she got a 71 and had a 3.75 and she didnt get in either. They say they look at the combine score but honestly I dont know anymore. I never in my life expected to be rejected twice! I think they need to raise the TEAS score to a low 70, so the selection process wont have so many applicants and those of us that do better will have a better chance getting in. Oh and I did way better on my practice test....I made an 86........If I retake it in the fall, Ill be sure to pay close attention to the readingpart and make sure I dont run out of time. Oh and I have tried calling and adviser, emailing them too, and no one ever responds.Its frustrating! But keep in touch with me....when is your mandatory meeting?

Kayla<3, LPN · Jul 2, 2012

She should have got in, is she a transfer student? I think that even if they raise the score they are going to have a lot of students applying to get in because we have no Idea what score we have to pass until we actually sit down. Did you leave your advisor a message? They usually call back..I think that you should study all summer and then retake the TEAS V in the fall, you have to try at least on more time. I think southern crescent is a good school but you have to have at least have a 3.0 to even try to get into the program but they combine your GPA with your TEAS V score too and I don't think they take that many students either; but it will be worth looking into as a back up plan. I will be stay in touch and you do the same and my meeting is sometime this month and I will let you know how that goes, from what I hear it lasts for hours.. I'm excited!:)

Hey! No she isnt a transfer student. ABout raising the Teas score....I think it would be a good idea because so many students just hit the high 50's mark. So I feel it would eliminate a bunch of applicants making it to the selection process and they wouldnt have so many "maybes" to sift through. They seriously need to widen the program. On the adviser, I have called her, emailed,and dropped by on mondays and tuesdays and she will not make any attempt what so ever to contact me back. It is absolutely uncalled for. I am starting to wonder what her deal is. I am going to try ONE more time at this school! just ONE more.......if I can even get my adviser to contact me!!! ugh so frustrating! I am going to stay in touch dont worry!
