Success rates for students using the test book have been high. The procedure is basic, with the top 40 students getting into the program. Entrance ranking score formula consists of the following:
TEAS test score = 75%
GPA of Prerequisites = 25%
3. Will my classes transfer from other colleges?
- Level I applicants: previous nursing courses will not transfer. All equivalency courses with a 2.5 GPA or better are transferable to Glen Oaks. You must transfer them officially, from your institution to ours through the mail, and you must ask for them to be evaluated for nursing.
4. Is the program full or part time, night or day?
- At this point in time we have only a full time program and it is a daytime program only.

7. If I am not currently a Glen Oaks Student, How do I keep updated on information I need to
come into the program?
- An information meeting is held every October, 10/25/10 this year, which is considered mandatory and the easiest way for you to get information. You can also meet with the director of the program before you apply. Visit the website regularly for updates and requirement information.
8. If I don't qualify when I test, does my application get moved automatically to the next year,
and will my test score be re-usable the next year or do I need to test again?
- You must re-submit an application to be considered and yes, you can keep your test score or retake the test to attempt a higher score...with the most recent test score being used to determine eligibility. Test scores can only be used within a year from the original test date.
