Hi all,
I am starting this thread for pre-nursing students that are applying for Fall 2018! I have 73-79 points depending on how well I do on my TEAS. I am not very confident in getting in, but I have my hopes up. Worst case scenario I will have my associates in biological sciences for spring 2019 and my points will be 78-84 which still are probably not enough. Someone give me some confidence! Haha.. Good luck to everyone!
Hi guys!! I applied at Mira Costa and Palomar for Fall 2018. I scored a 94.7% on my TEAS and my points are an 81-84 depending on how many points they give me for my TEAS. I've heard that they'll round my 94.7 up to a 95 which gives me 2 extra points so fingers crossed!!
I'm still worried an 84 isn't good enough though
Hi everyone! I applied to Mira Costa & Palomar as well. I have a 4.0 in the nursing core sciences, 3.8 in the pre-reqs, & my BA in Psychology. I scored an 89.3% on the TEAS (wish I had scored higher, but I was a nervous wreck taking that exam lol). Not exactly sure how many points I have. Hoping for the best for all of us! Glad that we have this thread to connect. Good luck everyone

Sounds like you should have a pretty decent amount of points! That BA will help a lot! Gosh I hope we all get in!!
Hey Guys!
I'm sitting around 83-87 points depending on life experience points. I'm hoping i'll be competitive with that but I'm concerned because I just got a call today about my English prereq the course that i had listed (an advanced english course at an advisor suggestion) was not satisfactory and that I would have to supply my AP credit as soon as possible. But since I've taken that exam more than 4 years ago I can't rush ship it and they said it'll take up to twenty days to get there . I've been in touch with mallory but I still don't know. I would really hope that if this was the difference between being accepted or not they'd grant me a conditional acceptance until my official report gets in.
Hey! So i thought id just give a full outline of my application for anyone who's interested or might be in the future.
I have 10 points from a previous bachelor's degree.
5 points from relevant work experience/Current allied health certification (CNA)
20-25points from science GPA depending on whether or not my retakes were accepted.
13 points from the fixed set (B in Public Speaking/A in Psychology...math bypassed ENGl AP credit)
1-2 points for life experience (worked for last month of prereqs and personal/family matters)
1 point for documented proficiency in a foreign language
30 points for the teas
Totaling anywhere from 80-86 depending on how the committee scores it.
Hope this helps anyone as nervous as I am
