What do you consider a high TEAS score? Thanks for the positive feedback! :)

Wow, congrats on getting admitted to 2 nursing schools! Would you mind telling me your GPA and TEAS score when you applied that year.

My first semester of college, I made a huge mistake by taking both Statistics and Chemistry in one semester (I struggle in both). I'm taking Anatomy and English (both prereq's for SJSU) this semester and I'm positive I can get an A in both the courses. If I do manage to get an A in both courses (I'll make sure I will), I'll bump up my Prereq GPA to a 3.73. What GPA do you feel is competitive for most CSU's? Thanks again! :)

Hello everyone, I'm currently a student at San Jose State University. I've completed half of my prereq's so far -prereq GPA: 3.58 -overall GPA: 3.78 -I have not yet taken the TEAS I've seen a lot of people post about what their GPA was before applying to nursing school and I'm honestly really scared. In most of the posts I've seen, people have stated they attained a 3.9 or a 4.0 GPA. I'm looking to apply to as many csu's as possible (csueb, sfsu, sjsu, etc). I still have a couple more prereq's to take, but as of now, if I were to apply to a csu nursing school, would I have a good chance of getting in w/ my GPA? And if so, which nursing schools do you recommend me applying to. If not, what other actions should I take to become a registered nurse (go overseas, apply to private schools, etc)? Thank you.

Can you by chance tell me what schools you applied to so I can put them on my list as well. Thanks! :)

By chance do you the GPA cutoff range for the average non CSU nursing school?

Definitely will take your advice and try to boost up my GPA. I had chemistry last semester, which is the one and only science subject I dread taking and though I used up the most time studying for chemistry, I still ended up with a B even though I was striving for an A. I couldn't sign up for any science classes this semester since I had last priority to sign up and spots got filled up quick, so I'm forced to take all GE courses. I'll definitely try to make use of this semester and try to get A's in all my GE classes. Thanks for the Advice :)

Thank you so much! I feel a lot less stressed out now. My school is really impacted in nursing which explains why the cutoff to getting in is a 3.8 GPA, but now that I know my GPA will get me into most schools, I'll continue on w/ my desired major (nursing) and will do more research on other schools! Thank you so much again! Really appreciated your feedback :)

Hello, I am currently a Biology major, but am planning on switching to Pre-Nursing. I just finished my 1st semester of college and got a 3.58 GPA. I was just wondering, if I continuously average a 3.5-3.6 GPA, would it be enough to get me into a Nursing School. I've heard around my campus that people who get lower than a 3.8 GPA should just plan on switching majors. Are there any schools you would recommend me applying to and is my GPA good enough for most Nursing Schools? (Currently in San Jose State University)
