Montefiore SON 2014/2015

I don't know if you can apply right out of HS. At least at WCC, you had to have taken Chemistry, Math, A&P 1&2, and I think a few other courses to even sit for the TEAS exam. I know Monte requires the TEAS so unless their requirements to sit for it are different, or those courses were taken while in HS, I don't know how someone could apply right out of HS.

WCC has diff pre-reqs than Monte. You have to have i think at least a 75/80 on HS chem to get considered to take the TEAS. But if you have college credits towards Monte's pre-reqs along w/ a HS or college chem then you have a better chance.

WCC & St. Paul's were my last resort coz of the extra classes and min. grades they require to even to b considered to take the TEAS or HESI. Thank God Monte accepted me.

Can you take the TEAS without A&P 1&2?

Can you take the TEAS without A&P 1&2?

Monte advises incoming students to take as many pre-reqs as possible before applying cause of the work load. Also, students need pre-approval before taking pre-req classes somewhere else during the program. If not, you'll have to take the pre-reqs at Mercy and classes cost about $500/per credit.

Have u taken any other pre-reqs? it has to total up to 2.70 GPA minimum.

I'm have a 4 year degree already and completed most everything... Enrolled in micro and lifespan over the summer and fall. Have well over 2.7... No worry there :-)

So u already told Monte u're deferring ur admission?

WestchesterNurse, RN · May 20, 2014

Waiting on the packet. But will most likely defer. I think the evening option will work better for me. Then I can start knowing everything is completed to the best of my ability. I'll take credits towards BSN at Mercy during winter and summer sessions when Monte isn't in session.

Hi. Has anyone heard when they will be making the decisions for the remainder of seats at Montefiore SON? I scored advanced and have not heard yet, have all my pre-req with GPA over 3.1. Do they base it on the TEAS only?

Hi. I think the TEAS score is just 1 factor on how they decide admission. I scored proficient along w others on this forum. Some haven't received any decision while I was lucky to receive an admission already.

I think y'all should receive an decision soon coz the TEAS testing dates are over. Good luck to u n to all that r still waiting.

Hello Ziggy,

Im sure you will hear back soon. Monte looks at everything including GPA, TEAS, and reference letter.Hang in there. I sent my application for the Spring and waiting for Teas dates. super nervous as well

Ziggygirl · May 22, 2014

The waiting is very hard....I wonder if they are also using the GPAs what was the minimum? And why would they not evaluate all the applicants at the same time when the testing is over? I thought the point of the TEAS is they take the top scores from exam.

I deferred until January 2015 so that opens a seat. I don't know what their guidelines are. My fingers are crossed for you.
