Nursing TEAS & GPA Composite
Nursing schools use a strict formula to rank applicants. Combine your Prerequisite Science GPA and ATI TEAS score to find your true admission rank.
Your Academic Metrics
Usually Anatomy, Physiology, Microbio, and Chem.
Overall total score out of 100%.
Program Weighting Formula
Different nursing schools weigh these factors differently. The most common split is 60% GPA / 40% TEAS. Adjust the slider to match your specific program's handbook.

A composite score above 85 usually secures a spot in the top tier of accepted applicants for competitive BSN programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Nursing Composite Score?
Nursing programs are highly impacted. Instead of just looking at your GPA, most programs calculate a Composite Score out of 100. This score usually weighs your Prerequisite Science GPA against your ATI TEAS Exam score to create a single ranking number.
What is a 'good' TEAS score?
Nationally, the average TEAS score is around 65-70%. However, for competitive BSN programs, you generally need an 'Advanced' score of 80% or higher. A score above 92% is considered 'Exemplary'.
Why do they weigh Science GPA heavier than Overall GPA?
Nursing school is brutal on the sciences (Pathophysiology, Pharmacology). Admissions committees care far more about how you performed in Anatomy & Physiology and Microbiology than they do about your 'A' in an introductory art class.
Can a high TEAS score make up for a low Science GPA?
Yes, mathematically. If a program weighs the TEAS at 40% or 50%, an Exemplary TEAS score (90%+) can pull your composite score into the competitive range even if your Science GPA is a 3.1 or 3.2. Play with the weighting sliders above to see how this works.
