I don't think my TEAS score is good enough :(

[Strawberrygirl2]

I am applying to a local public college's ADN program. The program has a minimum TEAS score requirement of 74. The minimum GPA requirement is 3.0 with a minimum of 2.0 in any given course.

I scored a 79.3% on my TEAS and have an approx. GPA of 3.28.

I have been reading all the threads on allnurses and it seems like everyone else on this planet is scoring in the 80's and 90's.

My program has a fall admission and a winter admission for the runner up students who did not make it into the fall admission.

I know that all nursing schools are different and every new year brings in different applicants, but I guess I am just looking for some reassurance that I am not completely out of luck? I have tried so hard.

Dont worry, the only people that post their scores here either have really high scores or are liars. Its a percentile based test, so its impossiable for everyone to get a high score, for ever 99th percentile there is a 1 percentile, but the 1 percentile dont post their scores. Additionally AN.com is skewed in that the students that post here are very OCD about their performance, and thus there will be a larger percentage of high achievers then the true applicant pool contains.

You often hear 4.0 this and 90 percent that, but the truth is schools have averages at 3.4-3.7 because there are plenty of folks on both sides of that number.

Your stats dont make you a shoe-in, but then again no-ones do at schools that look at the whole picture. Your stats are good enough to apply, and that makes them good enough.

Keep up the hard work and try to knock your last few classes out of the park.
