MANE Fall 2019 Applicants

Published

Hey, I wanted to get a thread going for MANE program applicants for fall of 2019 to see what competitive level we are at this year. My TEAS score was 85.3 and my GPA is a 3.5 giving me a combined score of 12.3. I just submitted applications to Inver Hills (my home school), Metro State and Century college. I would love to stay at Inver since it is 10 minutes from my house, but will be pleased with any acceptance letters!! Let me know, it would be fun to figure out where the averages on scores are!!

I just received my letter from Century today ( I am currently living in California). After reading the previous posts with everyones scores I was surprised I was put on the waitlist. I was working with the counselor Star Poindexter ( she left Century last year) who helped me figure out how to transfer courses and she complied my composite score of 11.87. I don't understand how I'm wait listed. Is anyone else in a similar situation? Also in the letter it states, they would like to reconsider my application for program admission, placing me on a temporary wait list....Is this the waitlist we would find out about the order after the 10th of April? Thank you everyone for all the updated information throughout these past two weeks. Its been stressful waiting for a letter to come.

Yes your letter is the same as mine. I was told by a friend of mine that century college student applicant and in-state applicants take priority over out of state applicants. That may be true...I just never confirmed it because I had no need to. Are you originally from Minnesota? Have you attended century before?? Send the signed letter back stating you want to be on the waitlist! We will all find out a week or so after April 10th! I’m sure you’ll make it...but the wait is brutal!

Hello Pre.Nurse_tobe and Thank you for responding back so promptly. Yes I grew up in MN, went to high school and college (the first time I attended) then moved around the states with my husband for his job. Our plan is to move back to MN this year, pending I would be accepted into school (student loans then go into deferment thank goodness). I have not attended Century before. This is my first time applying to a MANE program. Long story short, I was in a nursing program here in CA but had to step out due to having my daughter. All of our family is back in MN, hence the move back so we can have more support. Goodness the waiting is the hardest!! Thank you for the good vibes. It sounds like you have a solid offer at a few schools. Do you know if most MANE schools have the same set criteria? Being an out of state applicant stinks but I believe once I'm there the counselor told me can petition for in state tuition rates if you have x, y, and or z. Fingers crossed it will all work out. I keep trying to stay positive but after receiving this letter today, it didn't help.

Ha yes I get a ping on my phone when someone posts to this thread ☺️ Century is my only hope, I was denied at inver ??‍♀️ If I don’t make it off the waitlist for century, I’m going to retake my TEAS and apply in June. I got an 80.7% with a 3.5 GPA. Maybe it’s true that since you’re classified as an out of state applicant that your application was scored differently?? I wish they would tell us all that was taken into account for the selection! It seems so vague!

I hear ya there. You will get in, sending positive vibes. Can't go wrong with positive energy ? You have good scores. I need to retake my TEAS if I don't get offered admission for fall. My TEAS was 78.8% and my GPA was 4.0 for application. I will reapply for Spring if fall doesn't pan out. I think the waiting is the hardest part but all in all we will get there. We just can't give up! Have you applied to MANE programs before? The competition is tough.

Yes I’m all about positivity! I hate wasting my energy on the things that I cannot control ?? Thank you for the encouragement ☺️ No, this term was the first time I’ve applied to the programs. Had I known how competitive it was I would have retaken the TEAS haha! So you only applied to century?

I agree! I applied to Anoka Ramsey as well but was flat out denied admission. I think partly because my transcripts and classes had not been evaluated appropriately. For Century I had to file a request for exception to admission requirements because my grades in the higher level biology classes like Micro were better than my Gen Bio. so I could improve my application GPA. The counselor there rocked (Star). She was so helpful and always answered back to emails or phone calls promptly. She was temporary at Century. :( Its been a couple years since taking the TEAS so studying for it again (many cups of coffee later) will be time consuming. My daughter is learning to walk at the moment and I work full time night shift so its a lot of work. But doable. We got this ?

I did the same! Had to petition to use a higher English composition course it helped a lot. I have a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old! So I know the feeling with trying to study! I stay home full time though, so I do catch breaks here and there. I’ll be rooting for ya too!

I did and sadly I was denied. At least this time I’ll have more time to prepare for the TEAS. Thanks all for posting.
