I just sent in my application rn!

My teas overall score is 91.3

GPA: 3.91

What about you? How long were your value essays & have you taken the critical thinking test? I have to still take that and I'm really nervous for it!

I took my critical thinking test, it was very challenging, but I passed! I'd happily take the TEAS again over that test, but overall its pretty quick, and if you focus on what it's asking you, it's not so bad overall!

Do you have a job?

You have wonderful stats, thats awesome, I already submitted my entire application, and all the required components!

Thank you! I just took it Monday and it was pretty hard ? I couldn’t finish a couple questions but at least I passed haha I submitted everything but I just need my recommendations

& no I don’t, do you? Is it bad if I don’t have much experience in that field

Hi all! I submitted my application this weekend but still need to add my letters of rec. I have my TEAS and Critical thinking exam scheduled and I am so nervous!

Does anyone know how they calculate the GPA portion? I have a Bachelor's with only 3.35 GPA but my Community college GPA is a 3.8 and my Prereqs. are 3.9. I'm worried my degree GPA will be too low ;(. Also what are the TEAS scores they require? Is there a minimum? I am nervous that I won't finish a section in time (especially the reading as I am a slow reader)

EDIT****also I am applying for their accelerated BA to BSN program

Mmb277 · Oct 15, 2019

The accelerated route minimum GPA is 3.3 I believe but I’m not entirely too sure how they calculate it. I think the minimum score for TEAS is a 70 or a 75 like most other programs. Time for the reading section wasn’t too much of an issue for me, but the English section was a little tricky and you only have less than 30 minutes. I would say buy a couple practice tests so you can have a feel of the time limit, but don’t let it stress you out too much!

Hi! I got a call for an interview for this week!! Have you got a call?

Myelin_gets_on_my_nerves · Oct 17, 2019

Thank you! I have both my TEAS and Critical thinking this Friday the 18th! (Has anyone taken both exams in one sitting? I don't want to get burnt out lol)

I'll add my stats for that here once I know ?

I bought one of the practice exams on the ATI website but was disappointed to find they didn't time each individual section like the actual TEAS which I found counterintuitive but it was still good practice!

Yeah I have my interview in a couple days! How was it if you’ve already had it? What type of questions do they ask & how long was it?? I’m so nervous

Hey guys! (: just checking in to see how the interview went? Do you get interviewed by an admissions panel/alumi?

kmkennedy · Nov 13, 2019

Does anyone know when those accepted into the program will be notified?

Myelin_gets_on_my_nerves · Nov 13, 2019

@kmkennedy I had my interview yesterday and I was told the admissions committee will be meeting in December and we will know if we are accepted or denied by mid to late December ? Have you had your interview yet?
