I spend alot of time on here (more than is healthy, I am cutting back) and have noticed that no matter an applicants stats they seem to be bitting their nails waiting on Admissions to make a move.
I am just as guilty, I have competitive grades and TEAS scores, but even then I worry that they might not like my essay (spent alot of time on it and throughly reviewed it and my resume for errors) or that my letters of rec are not good enough (both from professors I spent alot of time with and have been my mentors over the last 2 years).
I really hate that this whole process causes so much doubt and dispair, it is so frustrating knowing that my best (well not quite my best, I might be able to do a little better on the TEAS, but there is nothing I can do about my GPA) might not be good enough.
I am very confident, but my school goes strictly by GPA to decide those who are in, and I have a great GPA. You have to take the TEAS V but it doesn't weigh in very heavily. Now, if it were a program that needed an essay too, plus references, and my GPA was lower, then yes, I would be nervous.
Specializes in Nursing Education, CVICU, Float Pool.
