@future.rn.bsn I doubt it.. From what I was told the Spring semesters have less people applying and are slightly less competitive. Here's hoping we get in!

@CommittedToNurse Hmm, I was actually third.. Anyway, fingers crossed, I hope to see you in January:)

The Fall '16 round was apparently a crazy one. I myself was waitlisted with a 4.0 and 88 teas and am now applying for Spring '16. From what I was told by an advisor, a lot (40 or more) of the students that gained acceptance were honors students. This granted them automatic acceptance as long as they had a 3.0 GPA and a 64 teas. Due to the concurrent agreement with TWU's honors program, quite a few people that wouldn't have been admitted otherwise were accepted. So that's pretty much why a lot of people with stellar stats were waitlisted/rejected. It was a shock for everyone

Congrats!! I'll definitely keep your guide in mind when it's time for me to take it ?

The nights/weekends program is year round/less time off if I remember correctly

As far as the traditional BSN goes, there are summers off. Most people use this time to get externships or work to save up for the next semester

"kait_dod: No she had no bump or bachelors! In fact, she goes to NCTC! That is so strange that you got waitlisted with those scores" Is there any way to appeal or request a revision? I am so devastated and confused right now

No way, I'm currently taking patho right now as well. The final is this friday/saturday

Did she have a TWU bump, guaranteed acceptance, or previous bachelor's? I applied for the same cycle with a 4.0 (science and overall) with an 88 teas and got waitlisted

Wow I had 52 points without any bumps, I would be in if it wasn't for the guaranteed acceptance This is so depressing idk if I should take a pointless 9 hours in the Summer and 12 in the Fall to have 72 points but that would be overkill, a waste of time, and a LOT of money. There will probably be less guaranteed acceptance people applying for spring and I know it's less competitive but I was so sure I would get in this Fall with a 4.0 and 88 teas.. and well, I was rejected. What do you guys think?

Well, I hate to be a Debbie-downer but it looks like nursing school for this fall is a no-go. I'm personally thinking of taking the fall semester off from school, work, save up, and re-apply for spring. I can't improve my GPA or TEAS score anyway and apparently they give preference for people that have applied multiple times so I'm 99.999999% sure I'll get in for spring. I'm curious, what are y'all's plans?

I'm curious, does anyone have an idea of how many people usually get called from the waitlist?

Idk about the prev. bachelor's but I know if you did the honors program all you have to do is have a 64 and you're in

I know. Still haven't been able to process it. I don't mean to discredit anyone but it's crazy how someone with a 2.9 gpa and 70-something TEAS gets in because of it. Apparently, applying multiple times also helps. I don't understand how a 4.0 and top 1% score on the TEAS gets waitlisted. It's rather insulting. I've heard rumors that the bump adds 0.4 to GPA but it seems to mean guaranteed acceptance. TWU should be more open about how each preference is weighed and not be so nepotistic. I wish I was bigger than this but I can't help but to feel bitter. Hopefully we can still get in this cycle.
