Probably not, what’s the point of a cutoff then

No, they probably aren’t. I’m in the program, and most people I know who are in the program got 80 and up. The program is based on grades, so the higher your grades, the better.

Do you know what the average gpa was ? I’m applying soon I’m so nervous

The program wants a GPA of 3.5 or higher I’m not sure about the average was but I had a 3.8 gpa you can alway go to one of the virtual nursing information session to ask.

I did but they were just making it seem like if you don’t have a 4.0 gpa u don’t stand a chance so I’m just like ugh bc then you have other ppl who are saying they got in with like a 3.4 3.5 3.6

From what I know getting into the program is just based on grades. So obviously the higher the better but it doesn’t hurt to apply. I would also go with the stats other people are saying rather than the program bc I was the same way thinking I wouldn’t get in bc I didn’t have a 4.0.

Hey! Im applying for next spring and my stats are
overall gpa-3.8, pre req gpa- 3.87 and a 90 on my teas do you think i have a good chance of getting in? Considering you’re in the program and are most likely familiar with your classmates stats. :)

u/Sudden-Ring-9087 19d ago

I think you’d get in I had a 3.8 gpa for both pre reqs and overall and a 84 teas and others has similar gpa likw 3.6 -4.0 and around 80 and up with the teas. As long as you have all the pre reqs done. Usually with stats like that the reason some don’t get in is bc of that.

Lincoln university takes HESI A2 with a minimum composite score of 70% in math, reading comp, vocab and general knowledge, grammar and A&P. Have you considered taking the hesi?

They do combine your GPA, TEAS score and I believe your prereq grades. I was accepted and got a 78 on the TEAS. But I also had a high GPA and had either B+ or A in all prereq classes. If you can study some more and take it again, I definitely would. You got this!!!

I believe, I was also told that if you are already a student at FSC, there’s a more likely you’ll get into the program but idk how true that is. I think overall you should definitely apply! Especially if your TEAS score is over 80%.
