Ivy Tech Spring 2020 Hopefuls

Published

I know we still have some time but I imagine a majority of us are taking or have taken the TEAS and are getting ready to get ready for the Spring 2020 application period !! Just thought I could give us a spot to chat, I know I have used the older threads from other years to help me prepare as well!

I take my TEAS (first time) Monday! What is everyone else up to?!

Nice! Thanks for the update! Did they happen to mention what was a good score to shoot for when applying for the program?? Did you like the facility there? Did the professor seem nice? Any other good info she shared with you?

Thanks for the update!! ?

She couldn't tell us a good score to shoot for with the combined TEAS and classes. We tried to ask. The facility there is awesome! I think you will really like it. The professor was very nice and easy to talk to. She seemed caring and understanding. We didn't get to meet anyone else. The rest of building was kind of dead during that time. I think most of the information she went over can be found right online. I hope this helps.

Okay, so I need advise. I will be starting online classes this fall and I was thinking about getting a new laptop, since mine is about 6 years old and slow. I am torn between a MacBook and a Microsoft Surface Pro. Anyone have any suggestions?

I need to get a new one at some point too. I can tell you DONT get an Hp ??‍♀️

I feel like I have seen macbook suggested more especially for the program itself but I cant say anything from personal experience

Thanks for your advice. ? I will stay away! I think I have pretty much only had Dells in my past, so I just don't know much about the different types out there, especially Mac. I've tried to do some research on them, but it's overwhelming with all the choices.

I got an Acer laptop from Amazon when i started school this year and it has been great. I found mine for like 350. Here is one that is a little better than what i got but its a little bit more expensive. But the specs on this one are legit.

That one looks nice. I like how thin it is. I might try to go to Best Buy and look at a few in person. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey, I looked at my laptop, it is not an Acer. I have a Lenovo. I looked at a couple other options, it just depends on how much you want to spend. My laptop has a 15 inch screen and fits perfectly in my backpack. I dont think a bigger one would fit. Here are some that are in mid 300's, mid 400's, mid 500's.
