I haven't recalculated my points or taken the Teas yet, but I have 69 so far! I'm hoping since I have better grades I'll be able to bring up those points.

Look at the point system. being a prior student is a plus.

You can start calculating points now.

Generally you should have 3.5+ science and 3.2+ core imo

I graduate in 7 days from UT Tyler.

Delgadido, I graduate in May with a B.S. in Kinesiology. I'm hoping they take this into account too (since it wont be completed by the application deadline). Ive seen the point system and I am in the clear according to the gpa's you just stated. Just depends on my grades in these last classes to see how much higher I can get them. Anyways I saw on their prereqs it says Stats 2 now instead of algebra. I took algebra as a requirement for my B.S.. do you know I if they are still accepting it? Or does anyone else know? Thanks. I have a meeting Wednesday, but Im anxious to know because I want to be core complete.

I'm actually at TWU right now, but if I go to their nursing school I'd probably only get into Houston which I really don't want to do.

When I was applying and looking at schools, she was the most helpful adviser I talked to. I really liked her. Ask them, if you already have a bachelors those rules may not apply to you. Are you looking to do accelerated? Have you registered for patho or concepts? Are you at the school right now? Last time I checked, it was a plus to get in. I score a 93 math and a 94 reading on Teas 4. When Teas 5 came out I got a 93 in math and liek a 74 on reading. Take a look at the excel sheet I designed years ago. Where it says Extra points, plug in anything that you qualified for such as a bachelors degree according to the point sheet.

Okay so I had my advising meeting this morning. They are still taking algebra so my points calculate to be 79.28 (If I make a B in Micro) or 81.84 (A in Micro) -- Those are also calculated with minimum scores needed on TEAS. So hopefully I will have a couple more points added.One thing that concerns me is that I will be looked at as a Transfer. I came in as a freshmen, but then I took a lot of core classes at TJC my sophomore year so I had to reapply my Junior year. So apparently that makes me a transfer all though I have taken the rest of my Undergrad at UTT :-(

Any transfers want to share their points? Or know if this is a realistic score to get in?

Thank you Delgadido for your help.

I was a transfer and I had 80 points.

I also did very well in patho. First 2 exams I got As and I got my acceptance letter after that.

Concepts I was getting As/Bs

I was penalized for retaking classes.

I honestly loved ut tyler as far as the staff and experience. Tegrity was awesome.

Sorry I havent responded, I been celebrating graduating and preparing for the boards
