Retake a&p I, yes the C+ is not great, but 25% of admissions criteria is based on A&P I alone. Your GPA is killing your chances. Retake your lower ones. The CT community colleges are numbers driven. You can do this! My friend had a lower Te...

Good luck to all! I graduated from Gateway a year ago, I moved down South for a new grad residency program. I love my job! I still keep in touch with some professors and clinical instructors; as a whole they are very supportive. If anyone has questio...

Agnes, your stats are good, but TEAS are low. When you take them on Friday make sure you get a print out to see where your weakest section is. If you don't pass on Friday you have a couple of weeks to practice and retake it one more time. Amazon h...

It's really hard to say based on the info you've given. But you can do this! I was in your shoes too, my undergrad gpa was 2.9 but my applying gpa was 3.69 which helped out a lot. Maybe meet with somone from the nursing deptmarment or info sessio...

I'm at Gateway, I have a Bachelor's in biology, and couldn't afford the accelerated programs. I think with the an associate program you can work 24 hours ok, but it would be tremendously difficult in an accelerated program. The community colleges h...

Hi guys. I'm at Gateway finishing my first year. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, but I love it. My clinical group is like a family. I was pulled from the waitlist, I was under ten last year. They had over 400 people apply this year. Don'...

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Honestly, you will find a tremendous support system at school. Not everyone, but most people at school will be in the same boat as you. During our student orientation, we actually discussed that not everyon...

Hi all! Here's a bit of my background, I'm starting my ADN program in 2 weeks. I already have a bachelors degree, from 8 years ago. My main hurdle is a weak GPA, undergrad was a 2.9, which is not representative of my abilities at all. I have no h...

I don't think the specific pb cuff matters, ask at orientation to be sure. I would say make sure you get a large cuff? I have a regular LL Bean backpack already, but maybe one with wheels for our heavy books? Two weeks before orientation, crazy!

With professor *? She's great! Good luck either way :)

Ok, we can figure something out. Don't forget Monday is our last day to register, that's what MB told me. Of course I went to pay and the amount they told me I needed to hold my classes was wrong I'm praying they won't drop my class, I have to cal...

It would be nice to somehow actually physically say hi on Thurdsay. Although, there's a lot of us in one room :) Do you think you will sign up for day or night clinicals?

To the accepted Gateway students, when do you guys have to register by? I am wondering when they start pulling people from the waitlist. Thanks everyone :)

What is the accelerated vs traditional track? Thank you.

I75 is for gateway only. I know it sounds crazy that each school has such a big list, I bet almost no one gets called for their 2nd choice. 10 to 15 years ago they virtually had no wait lists or short ones, so people got pulled to their 2nd choic...

Cost wise go with Gateway. Where do you live? I have heard good and bad about both programs. I only applied to Gateway, due to cost. Gateway does have really good professors, my friend loves Bridgeport nursing school. It's hard to decide. The th...

It's so weird that you are 19, there must be a bigger spread in Teas score. Because I thought you would be higher than me, it really just shows how CLOSE the applicants are. In any case, your hard work has paid off

Polysuazo congratulations!!!!!! That's awsesome. Gateway or Bridgeport? I got my waitlist number, 8. I hope they get to 8 over the summer.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm still super sad I'm not going this year, I know I'm not alone here.

Check back every month or so, they keep adding new dates. I know they offer a lot during the fall and spring semesters, I am not sure about summer though. Good luck!

Any advice on this would be so appreciated. I was waitlisted at Gateway. A CC college is really my only option due to finances. My teas score 76, is pretty good i think. I could retake it again, but I find I can't get any higher. My A&P I gra...

I got waitlisted at Gateway I have 3.43 GPA, 76.3 TEAS, and A- A&P I grade. I have no idea what my # will be. Fellow Gateway waitlisters, good luck! It's certainly a good program, and worthwhile. I think if you are in the top 10 you have a ...

Congrats to all who will get in! But how on earth will you pay for school, $60,000+, and living expenses? I would have applied to a program like this, but didn't strictly due to costs did not. I know this program is competitive so there is a good c...

Had to quit nursing school due to illness...I am broken hearted. Hi all! I am in my early thirties, single, and live with my parents...that alone makes me feel stuck. I have to work at least 32 hours a week to keep my health insurance. I am in ...

This thread is so so quiet compared to last year! How is everyone dealing with the stress? Good luck :)
