Kind of off topic, but does anyone know the minimum passing grade for microbiology? I heard C and C+.

Question for those who have paid their deposit: has your major changed to nursing on the sccc website like the letter said? Was anyone told when we can register?

Just got my letter and I've been accepted. I can't believe it, now the anxiety really starts!

Ah that's even better! Any idea when the letters will be arriving?

Wow, faith8309, that is great to hear your counselor said that! I am trying not to get my hopes up, but I have a feeling people in our boat (4.0 GPA low TEAS score) are common and have probably made the selection process more difficult. I am having a lot of trouble in Micro now because I can't seem to commit myself, unsure if I got in the program or not. I think I just need to toughen up and just assume I'm in, and hope for the best!

Sorry for the late reply. That looks like the right path to me, chem is required before taking AP which is a pain. I took chem, english and psych all in the same semester (although it sounds like you won't have to take english). I took AP by themselves to give myself all the time I needed to concentrate on them. You could take AP1 over the summer than AP2 in the fall and apply. I am similar to you, no science background. Prepare to commit to the courses and really put the time in studying. I am in Micro right now and absolutely hate it, I am so anxious about whether or not I will get into the program I a having a lot of trouble focusing on this class.

It sounds like we are in the same boat. I have heard from a friend that a score in the mid-70's is the most common, not sure how true that is. I am very dissapointed in my score

I did not see a thread for the fall 2015 semester at Suffolk. I guess the biggest news this year is the new requirement of the TEAS V test. There was no mention of it at the last nursing information meeting last spring, but luckily I caught the information early in the fall and had plenty of time to study. Unfortunately, it seems like many people in my AP2 class were not so lucky; one person just found out monday and now has two weeks to take the test. I'm hoping we can share some info in this thread. When I went to the nursing information seminar in September, they said they that you had to score at least proficient on the test in order to be considered. My lab partner went to one last week and they told her that the TEAS score would now weigh more heavily than your GPA. For me this poses an interesting situation. My pre req grades are: Eng- A Psych- A AP1-A AP2- final on monday but should be an A My score on the teas- 74% proficient. I was always told through information seminars (I went to a ton...) that your GPA was most important. I worked hard and at the beginning of this semester was very excited that my GPA would make my chances of getting in very high...but if this info about the TEAS taking presidence over your GPA, all that hard work may have been for nothing. But I think we all know how notorious this school can be with misinformation. What have you heard?
