Hi Nursingprospect! :) I plan on applying in September for the Spring 2016 Term. If you don't mind me asking, what will you be applying with?

Nursingprospect · Aug 11, 2015

I have 112.5 points. Is that what you were asking? What do you have?

NursingHopeful2 · Aug 11, 2015

I'm not sure about my points exactly...I mean when I figure them up myself they come out to 121.5...but I'm not sure if that is correct. Did the advisor calculate yours for you?

Nursingprospect · Aug 11, 2015

I did it myself. I have an 80 on the TEAS, 2.6 overall GPA, and 3.1 prereq GPA, and a Bachelors.

121.5 is awesome. From what I have gathered, information from the department, it seems like anything above a 110 is good.

I thought it was really good too..that's why I was like that cant be right. LOL I got an 86.7 on my TEAS, I have a 3.45 overall GPA and a 3.5 prereq GPA but I don't have any degrees yet. I am so nervous about applying. I know I'll be a wreck until they send out the letters.

I was told that there has never been a student with a score of at least 80, meeting all the requirements for admission that has not gotten into the program. Looks like we should be classmates in the Spring (knock on wood).

I'm being optimistic!

NursingHopeful2 · Aug 11, 2015

That's what I was told too. I hope we will be. I guess I need some of your optimism. LOL :)

Hello! I am applying in September for the PSC Nursing Program that is starting in January 2016 as well. I am getting a super late start on my TEAS-V. I take it August 25th. I know I am cutting it close, but I've been studying for about a month now, so I'm pretty confident I will score at least an 80 or above. My overall GPA is a 3.27 and my GPA for the nursing prerequisites is a 3.0. So hopefully I will be accepted into the program! I look forward to hearing more from you guys (and hopefully more future nurses will join our discussion). Best of luck to all! I know the application due date keeps creeping closer & closer!

Good luck on your TEAS! I' m sure if you've been studying for a month you should have no problem scoring over an 80. :) Hopefully, we'll be classmates come January!

I know it's so nerve wrecking knowing that it is all out of our hands for now. Makes me wish there was something else I could do to get a few extra safety points. But hey, from what we've heard, 80 is a magic number!

Hello all! I also will be applying for the program to start in Jan 2016. It's so exciting that the application period begins today! I got an 88.7 on my teas, 3.7 overall GPA, and 3.25 GPA in pre-reqs. Really hoping I get in, good luck to everyone!!!
