Sentara College of Health Sciences BSN 2019 Application

[Steris]

Anyone else applying to Sentara's program to start Jan 2020? I'm in the process of preparing for the TEAS right now. I can't wait till have a score to work with.

Anyone have an insight to the admissions process? Or any info on how hard the program is once your in?

Hey There! Good Luck too you! Only 2 more weeks until we get our decisions emails. :)

I don't know if you went to any of their info sessions or talked to the recruiters. When i went they said for the BSN program they generally receive 300 applications for the 100 spots (so about 33% initial acceptance). He said that they generally wait list about 50 students. The first 15 on the wait list are very likely to be offered a seat as people decline theirs. The middle bit have a decent shot, and like 35-50 are unlikely to be offered a seat. So actual admission to the program is probably between 40% an 50%.

Are you applying to any other programs in the area? I'll be looking at ODU for Fall 2020 if I'm not successfully in gaining admission to Sentara.

I was waitlisted and didn't get called until 18 days later (it was brutal!), so if you do get waitlisted - keep your hopes high!

I also applied for Jan 2020, and I’m very nervous to here back!! I was just wondering what you guys got on the TEAS so I can kinda see where I’m at?

I put all my eggs in one basket. Didn’t apply anywhere else besides Sentara. My combined TEAS score is I think a 78% and GPA of 3.8. No clue how that compares to others. Just hoping for the best!

If I remember correctly, the recruiter said that last year's average teas was 82, and you are very close to that! I cant remember what the average GPA was, but I'll check my notebook when I get home. Your GPA is great. The recruiter said GPA is about 60% and TEAS is about 40% of the decision process. So that should be good news for you with your strong GPA.

Good luck you! I scored a 92, but the recruiter said average for last years admission was 82, which means people below that score were admitted too.

Hey guys! I applied a few months ago and kind of stopped thinking about it. Well now we are so close to finding out and it's all I can think about.

Same! I applied back in March and now that we have a little over a week to go it's been on my mind constantly. Are you from this area?

[Pettini]

Steris, Yeah. Hoping to get in especially since it’s such a quick drive ?

I have been nervous for a while now. I hate waiting for something important like this haha. My GPA was 3.6 and my TEAS was 84. I'm hoping my GPA doesn't hold me back ?

Hi! I also applied and am waiting not so patiently lol.

We are so close! But I agree the waiting sucks. ? nice job on the TEAS!

Also, just to offer encouragement. I checked the board from last year. Someone with an 80/3.6 was accepted. So your stats are definitely solid!
