Hey Bethany, I just submitted my application. Hope your scores are submitted soon! Good luck 

I just checked and my TEAS scores are in, so now im just waiting for my IB scores which were sent on Friday. I’m hoping they’ll be in by mid next week.

Hey guys. I applied yesterday too and I wasn't that nervous until I found these message boards from past semesters! They bring up so many questions. I have a 115.7 score and last semester the people in that rage were alternates and then all ended up getting in. Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Where did everybody else apply besides Polk?

I also applied to Hillsborough Community College, but honestly have a better feeling about Polk.

What are IB scores?

They’re like AP scores. Basically I took a test in high school and got credit for the equivalent college course. I got credit for ENC1101, so I had to have them sent since that’s a prerequisite for the nursing program.

I wish there was a way to know how many applications have been submitted already. I'm super nervous about getting in. 

[docbam81]

Yeah I wish we knew that too. Does anybody have an idea of how many applications are submitted on average? I know I read somewhere that there are like 100 seats.

I was just looking back at some of the other semesters and it seems like we have way fewer people commenting on this thread compared to this time in previous semesters. I wonder if that just means fewer applicants?

You know I was wondering the same thing. It could be the whole COVID thing going on. It has affected many people.

Me too, I wonder if they’re going to accept less students this semester too due to COVID. 

[Knotme93]

I really hope they don't accept less people.

Oh my gosh! I am so happy someone started this thread! 

Hi, Guys! my name is Amanda and I am also applying for Polk state. My GPA is just a 3.0 and I am studying for my TEAS! (My last score was a 68% so Im hoping to at least get up into the 80% percentile!) Any tips?? 

Also! I emailed ------------------- and she said that the lowest score who got accepted into last fall was a 110! But she also mentioned how that isn't a good indicator since scores are constantly fluctuating. She also mentioned that Spring is easier to get accepted into. 

Sometimes I'm doubting my abilities due to my low GPA and entrance exam score! kind of stressed! 

[docbam81]

I don't think they will. These schools function off of tuition so if they accepted less students they would be shooting themselves in the foot.

You're studying for your TEAS now? So you aren't going to be applying for the Spring 2021 semester then?
