Hello, my name is Ashley and I have recently applied to the nursing program at NU, cohort 53. I am wondering what are the past cut off points to evaluate my likelihood of being accepted, does anyone know ? Also, here is where is stand, TEAS 84% with 3.25 GPA (low I know) and waiting to take the essay portion. I would love to hear some feedback!

I would recommend reading on the last Cohort 52. I believe their cut off is 86.9 and cohort 51 is around 83.

Hello there. I applied for the last cohort and was denied. My scores were, Teas 84%, GPA 3.147, and my essay 2.5. Honestly I was really surprised by the score on my essay because every paper I have written in my classes so far at National have been 90% and above. I know what I need to work on for the next one. I was informed that if my essay was at a 4.5 I would have been an alternate. I will be working on some practice essays to better prepare this next time around.
Wow, sorry to hear that you were not accepted that time around, I hope you get into this next cohort. The 4.5 on the essay would give you around 83.07 points in total. And the cutoff was 86 is what I was reading? I just feel like those numbers are off by a lot (in the nursing application world). I usually am a great writer as well but that now makes me nervous to hear someone with a strong background not do as well as expected. I do wish you good luck with the nursing application and maybe we will meet soon! Fingers crossed. We are practically in the same boat with the point system.

I'm applying as well! My essay date is the 15th!!
Hey all. I'm starting to get prepared for the essay question portion and am praying that I'll be able to do a little better on the TEAS. Courtney I have a 3.174 (I got one C in Micro) and currently a 84% on my TEAS. My essay date is the 15th as well. Only a couple weeks left then the waiting game starts. How is everyone preparing?
I've been using pocket prep, mometrix, and just finished one of the practice exams on ATI. I currently have a 3.71 gpa, I'm just hoping I score high on the TEAS and essay!
Hi Courtney,
What is your GPA. My test date is Aug 16th..
