Is there anyone else applying for summer 2017 at UWF?

Hi, I'm applying! Haven't turned in my app. tho. I'm still working on my hours and retaking the TEAS. Have you turned in yours?

Cassinator91 · Oct 15, 2016

Hey! Yes, I turned in my application the end of September. I'm very anxious. What are your stats? I had to take the TEAs twice as well, the second time was much easier. Im sure you will do better the second time, too! :)

I got a 79 on the TEAS the first time, and an 86 on the second try. Graduated from UWF with my first B.S. in Allied Health with a 3.8, 3.62 overall GPA, have all of the suggested courses, and have been working full time as a medical assistant since 2014.

That's great! I have an overall 3.5 GPA for UWF, 2 extra classes, the hours, and just waiting on the TEAS. First time I took the TEAS V I got a 70 :/, didn't really put much studying to it because I just had a baby. Definitely putting in more studying this time. I wonder how many applicants ther

...there are now.

Cassinator91 · Oct 15, 2016

Yeah, for me it was just finishing in time, so that's what I had to work on. I'm sure you will do better this time, especially if you did that well without studying much. And now you know what to expect, which really helps. I know, I am curious as to how many have applied, too! Hopefully me and you will be one of the lucky few to get in! Are you applying anywhere else?

SarahJane1004 · Oct 15, 2016

Yes. I underestimated the TEAS, but at least i know what to expect now. The timing also threw me off.

I'm very limited on schools because my family is military and we are expecting to move in the next two years. The only other school I applied to was Pensacola's program, which if it doesn't work out with UWF, I will be starting next Spring.

Pensacola is just an associates though, isn't it? The only other school I am looking at is USF. Got an interview for their fall start, but got waitlisted. Really hoping to get into UWF though, they are my top choice. When are you going to retake your TEAs?

SarahJane1004 · Oct 15, 2016

Yeah, that's why I'm really hoping to get into UWF's program.

I'm retaking it two weeks before deadline. Did you take Ver. 6 or 5?

Cassinator91 · Oct 15, 2016

I took version v. Already had that ATI study manuel, so I made sure to take it again before the deadline so I wouldn't have to spend another $50 on the new one. Not to mention, that's the one I had taken before and knew what to expect, didn't want any surprises with the new version. Heard you can use a calculator on the new version though, so I'm sure that's nice.

SarahJane1004 · Oct 16, 2016

Exactly. The TEAs is so expensive, especially having to retake it. I am definitely looking forward for calculator to save me some time. Honestly, I think I could've of done better taking the TEAs, I just got so anxious that I forgot and ran out of time for the Reading and Math.
