I don’t think that’s the case. I’m in your exact same position, but I’m a VA resident. Still didn’t get in with the 4.0 prerequisites and completed co-reqs

The same here 4.0 with pre-reqs and all co-TEAS completed.

When did you apply? I did apply March 26, but I called the MEC counselor and they said you will not be penalized if you apply after the March 20th deadline, because they extended it until April 20th.

I’ve noticed a lot of people got in who applied multiple times. I just don’t understand why waive the TEAS. I think they were “trying” to be fair by waiving it and extending the deadline, but all they did was invite 550 people to apply and not accept the people who have completely maxed out the requirements

I also applied around that time frame. I’ve noticed in this thread that some people that were excepted to the program have completed some or ALL the co-reqs. I’m just wondering how there point system works. I just think we need some clarification..

Waiving the TEAS wasn't fair. I'm sorry, if you didn't take it by a WEEK before application deadline , then it is applicants fault not all the other people who had already submitted TEAS scores.

I think you definitely need clarification from NOVA about why you received both accept/ reject letters today. Maybe someone jumped the gun on a second batch of accept. letters and more are coming?? I haven't heard anyone saying that they received a wait-list letter either. Maybe some other criteria was considered b/c it seems like too many people would have had the exact same score so what was used as tie-breakers? Just spitballing here.

You should reply directly to the email that was sent to you from the nursing division if you were sent two different emails.

I agree. I understand extending the deadline, because maybe some of the 8 week classes were delayed with posting their grades.

other than that, there was no reason to waive the TEAS. There are people who got in and never even took the TEAS. I took it twice to improve my score. I couldn’t imagine waiting 2 weeks before the deadline to take it just once. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Hey guys,

for all my applicants who got an “accidental” acceptance letter. This is what I just got.

It also states that TEAS will not be used for next cycle either. All I’m saying is if I am physically unable to improve my application, because I got a 4.0 and completed all my co-reqs and DID NOT get in this semester, why would I waste my time submitting another application next semester when it will be the same scenario. Too many applicants, no way to differentiate.

This is so disappointing. The whole point of it being a “competitive” program, is that we can take this exam and improve our score and give us a better chance.

I would apply again! It doesn’t cost anything, takes 5 minutes, and if it was a luck of the draw thing maybe you’ll get lucky next time. I wouldn’t put all my hopes and dreams on it, but I would at least apply again.

this truly does not make sense. If you have a perfect app, how can ppl who have gotten even one B have gotten in over you? this scares me, because I will have all A’s with everything completed for Spring, but an applicant whose app is not as strong can be accepted over me??

Same here, all pre reqs a-b but and didn’t get in ?

Yea, not cool. I feel the same way. I CANNOT believe they are not using the TEAS again. They should refund us for the hundreds of dollars spent studying for that test in order to be "competitive". I have spent thousands a nvcc to get my pre and co reqs up to speed, really sad and discouraging for them as an institution.

Was anyone accepted with only 3 of the 4 corequisites?

I also received an acceptance then denial email, but figured to take the acceptance since it was the first one and the denial had a date of June 1 on the pdf. Emailed them just for clarification and they responded by saying they ACCIDENTALLY emailed me an acceptance to my personal email?...... I have never heard of an acceptance letter being sent on accident. The acceptance email was first and the pdf attached was dated June 3, but the denial email was the latest (5 minutes later) and the pdf attached was June 1. My cum GPA is a 3.9 and I had a 4.0 Spring semester with every class done except BIO150, including more than 1/2 the credits needed for MasonCore and Mason’s BSN that weren’t nursing. Also took the TEAS and got a decent score, which didn’t make sense why the application deadline was pushed in the first place if it was no longer required..
