Muhlenberg School of Nursing- How long did you wait?

Published

So I have my app in and my TEAS scores just came back yesterday. I applied for the fall of 2011 term to start the accelerated program in January 2012.

My question is: how long does this school normally take to get back to people? I have tried looking around at different threads but I have not found a recent one with a similar question/answer.

Separate question: who else here applied for Muhlenberg and how did you guys do on the TEAS? I scored in the 90% percentile of higher for reading, math, and english lang, but only in the 86th percentile for critical thinking (had to take that one cold; didn't seem to be any study material for it).

I am an Accelerated Muhlenberg Student and started in January. After I completed all of the paperwork and my test scores were sent out, I got accepted pretty quickly, a few weeks after they received my score. I did not take the TEAS, though, I took the NET; so I wouldn't be able to help you on your second question. Good Luck!

Thanks for your post! I got an email later on the same day as my original post stating that they had received everything and I should expect to hear from them via mail in 2-3 weeks.

How do you like the accelerated program? I expect it to be tough, but how tough is it? Do you have a ton of reading every day? How is it having clinical 3 days a week? Any program insights you would be able to provide would be great.

Hi, I am sscheduled to take my TEAS later this month. Was the math section hard? Is there a cut off score or percentage they are looking for? Any information is helpful.

Thank you and good luck in all your studies!

Get the TEAS study guide off of the ATI site and purchase the online practice exams as well. Study from those and you will be fine. The math is super easy. It is basic addition/subtraction/multiplication/division, fractions, decimals, metric conversions (and they give you the conversion numbers so its really multiplication) and some BASIC algebra. Read the study guide, do the practice tests, and RELAX. It's not anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

But back on my original topic..... it's now been about four weeks and I still havent heard back from the school. What the hell? This wait is killing me. Should I call them to check on my application or wait some more?

Thank you for the insight. You should call even though they say not to.... mail gets lost all the time and sometimes we are so busy we forget. Good luck!:up:
