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.
My major took couple of days to change. But I paid on Friday afternoon so maybe that's why? I'm Ammerman day as well. Do you guys also have orientation on May 1st?
oh no I misunderstood you natty! Sorry! I did not register online yet, I believe the registration starts on April 14th. I'm so excited to meet everyone on May 1st.
