GCU transfer fast track? Frustrated with CEP.

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

I'm new here, so hi! I have been on the wait list for Maricopa while I've been finishing up my pre reqs for the CEP. I'll be finished with my last class in July. I found out that they will be holding an application session possibly in August for UOP only (and of course I don't have all of those pre reqs) for a spring '13 start. Other than that I would be waiting until February just to apply to NAU or ASU CEP. I've kind of had enough waiting so I called up GCU. I am planning on getting in to a spring '13 start there. Why don't more people do this?! I had no idea it was so simple and affordable. Is anyone else heading over to GCU?

I still have a lot of information to gather, but I just can't wait another year to start nursing classes.

Yes, it's 3.7 to get the presidential scholarship (the highest) but there are other scholarships as well. A 3.5 must be maintained to keep that particular scholarship and not be bumped down to the next level of scholarships. You can be bumped up once in the program as well.

I won't have an issue with keeping it above 3.5, though I understand that could be a deterrent to people. I have also been considering applying to nursing scholarships that cover all expenses plus pay a monthly stipend, but we will see.

I wish I had that much confidence in keeping high grades, good for you ! :nurse: Which scholarship are you applying to??

Which GCU program will you do? The 18 month at St. Joseph???

I plan on doing the fast track program at AT Still in Mesa. I'm probably going to apply for the HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program. As well as some smaller state scholarships. I have been pondering the idea of joining the Army Reserves, as they have a program that pays a decent monthly stipend while in nursing school, as well as different bonuses for nurses and loan repayment plans.

Do you think you could PM me with some of the info you have for GCU? I am also on the mcccd waiting list and finishing up some pre-reqs there. I would like to see how this path could work out!
