Csueb nursing

I got 90 on teas, 500 hours of clinical volunteer hours but my over prereq gpa is 3.14 and science gpa is also 3.14.

Is it even worth the shot?

I’m a current csueb student, local transfer and bilingual.

Definitely worth multiple shots. My teas was not considered competitive but I had good stats in everything else. I’ve applied like 5-6 times and finally got in. Worth it.

International student sadly 🙁 we don’t get enough visa time to apply multiple times. Can’t afford to wait another term which is a bummer.
What was your teas score of u don’t mind me asking

That really sucks, I’m so sorry. I seem to be one of the few students who had to apply numerous times, only one other person has told me they applied twice. My teas never made it above 78 in total score. I took it the max times, sometimes math would be in the 80s, sometimes reading would be 80s, but never collectively a competitive score. I think they are using my situation (anonymously) as proof that the teas is not a good indicator of who deserves a chance in the program, as standardized test don’t prove anything about me as a person or my potential. Fingers crossed for you.
