I am applying also. You have a very high chance of being conditionally excepted. I am hoping to at least make the alternate list. I have a 45 for phase 1 (which is average) and I haven't taken the TEAS yet. But I heard a lot of things about them accepting a lot of alternates in recent years. So, we shall see, good luck.
Also you got a pretty good score on the TEAS. Any pointers?
Yes, start studying for TEAS now! I read the Mometrix book (yellow and black cover) word for word and annotated/summarized notes. Try not to speed through studying and take your time with the practice tests. I also ordered the ATI study module that includes the online modules, a book, and two practice tests. Try to take those practice tests closer to your exam date because it will be more familiar and the format is the exact same.
Study more on your personal weaknesses. The math portion was easier than the practice tests and the science I found more difficult. I have all A's in sciences so I assumed it would be easier for me but I realized that I forgot a lot of knowledge. Study up on bones, muscles, joints, reproductive, and HORMONES. I had a lot of hormone questions. Also, brush up on chemistry (periodic table, protons, mass, charges, reactions, stuff like that).
I applied to LMC as well. Phase 1 - 50 points. Happy to be done with TEAS 90.7% I used the Mometrix book and also picked up a copy of the Kaplan book at my local library. I preferred how Kaplan reviewed the material, but how Mometrix had more practice tests. Planning to apply to other schools? SJDC application opens in March.

I am starting this thread to see if any one else is applying to LMC Fall 2020. my old thread must've gotten deleted somehow?
Anyway, deadline is coming up - Feb 7th. I applied with 60/75 points for Phase 1. I already took my TEAS VI with 85.3%
