Hi all, I barely applied and was able to talk to ---------------------- during office hours if he received my application, he did! So if you guys want, office hours is a good way to verify and he said it is taking him a bit but that they should be out soon! Hopefully we all get in!

Okie dokie thanks for letting us know!! I was hoping they’d just email us but I’ll message him if I have to... I just didn’t wanna bother him so much, I know he gets so many messages LOL

Oh no of course not, you don't have to email him because he will send confirmation emails soon, I was just saying in case anyone was a bit worried their application did not go through! If it's not too personal, how many points did you apply with?

Hi everyone, I scored well on the TEAS and was accepted into the program. I’ll be starting this fall. I highly recommend reading the ATI TEAS manual front to back. It gives you a breakdown of the scoring. If I’m not mistaking the reading portion weighs heavily on your overall score. The passages were long so know where to find the main idea and topic of each passage. DO NOT OVERTHINK IF IT’S NOT IMPLIED IN THE PASSAGE ITS NOT THE ANSWER.

I purchased the ATI bundle that comes with two practice exams. I took 1 of the exams before I started studying and the other exam 1 week before my testing date. From there I just focused on my weak areas. Also, if math is not your strongest subject don’t worry the math portion is very basic. For science, study the systems, the organs and it’s functions. Refer back to your A&P notes or other online resources like Khan Academy. Grammar has the least amount of questions which means that you have very little room for error. There were a lot of questions on sentence structure. Review commonly misspelled word (I.e recommend) definitely know where to place your commas and semicolons.....Don’t forget the READING section has the highest impact on your overall score...good luck and I hope you all get in!

Yes thank you! I am also using the yellow ATI TEAS Secrets book I heard that one helps a lot! Also, I included the thread I started for Spring 2021 applicants so we won't be giving everyone notifications who is already in the program LOL, let's talk about our journey though the process on there!
