Jeff State Spring 2016 Applicants

Okay, I've read the threads on "Jeff State Applicants" from the past several years. I couldn't find one on Spring 2016. Looks like in the past, the cut-off scores ranged from 170-180.

Apps are due next week. My husband is applying at both Shelby and Jefferson campuses with 177 points (117 on TEAS, and has only taken Bio 103 & first A&P). He does have a transferred in 3.9 GPA though. We are hoping for this semester, but worst case we feel confident on next semester after adding another 30 from the second A&P he's taking right now.

I thought I would start a thread so we can all wait out the next several weeks of misery together! ;-) I think am more nervous than my husband!

Hi nurs4kids , I have applied to the Jefferson and Shelby campus as well for the Spring 16 term. This is the only thread I have seen so far for Spring 2016.

Congratulations to you and your husband. I'm in the night program, so the points were a bit different (I think). GPA doesn't really matter as much as your points do. Good luck and I'm sure both of you will get in. That should be an interesting marriage through nursing school, lol.

Feeneisha, it is already interesting! Here I am with twenty years exp as a RN, and he is only taking the basic sciences. He discusses things, or asks me questions r/t anatomy, and I look at him like he has three heads. He has photographic memory, me-not so much. Just last week, we had a debate over a craniotomy vs craniectomy. I spent half my career in neurosurgery, so I had no doubt I was correct. Let's just say I will not argue with him about medical terminology ever again. My 16 year old daughter got a kick out of it. ;-)

Thanks for the well wishes. Congrats and good luck to you two!!

My GPA is not great. However, my cumulative score with TEAS is 199. Is GPA heavily weighted??? Anticipation is killing me!

@WarDamnEagle .... I'm not sure if its heavily weighted (I don't think it is) It does state that the minimum GPA required is 2.5 for the most recent 24 hours
