Applying for NGCSU fall 2013 asn program?

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Hello! I am soooo nervous and anxious to get into North Georgia's program!! Last year I was wait listed and I had a 2.79 GPA and a 76.7 teas score. I've already taken a&p, with a's, b's and one c and I took micro, but failed. I'm taking it again this semester. I could've argued the grade, but the teacher was fired after one semester of working there and I figured that I needed the knowledge anyway, so I'll just retake it next semester. Anyway, I went and talked to my wonderful wonderful advisor and she looked at all my stuff, saw that all my core classes were pretty much done, save micro, computer science 1150 and English 2112, and said "well you are in very good shape, just take the teas one more time to stand out and look for some good news around saint Patrick's day" what?!?!? I now have a 2.84 GPA and I retook the teas, scoring 2 points lower. (I don't even want to talk about it lol) so, I'm curious as to what others stats are? If others have been in the same situation? Thanks :)

True that! :-) Really, I don't want to pass my stresses onto them by bothering them any further. I'll be doing that during advisement! ;-)

That's true! I am sure they are bombarded right now!

jessleigh are you applying anywhere else? I'm not sure where you live but Chattahoochee Tech accepts applications until end of May...they only look at your grades in English 1101, College Algebra, A&P 1&2 and Micro and then your TEAS score...not sure if that would help you out but definitely don't give up!!! Every school is different in their criteria...my overall GPA isn't very good so NG was a long shot for me, but I'm applying to other schools that are more focused on certain classes...you just have to figure out the right school for you!

I don't even know where to go from here. I'm in the middle portion. My GPA isn't fantastic and that's what is holding me back. I got a 78 on my teas but I see people who were wait listed last year in the middle portion and didn't get in. I am completely done with my core classes. I don't know what to do. When does the second batch of letters go out? May? By then, I'll already have registered for classes that I don't need. And my advisor, when I talked to her last semester, built me up that I was good to go and to "look for good news" and now this. They shouldn't be allowed to say things like that.[/quote']

jessleigh91, try calling TMC (Truett-McConnell College) about their new BSN program in Cleveland, GA. Registration starts every December. Their minimum GPA requirement is 2.50 and they do require the TEAS V. You could give it a shot. :-)

I think it's every December, I'm not so sure now. It's also a private Baptist school with a lot of religion courses to take on top of everything else.

I felt the same way like you. I decided to give Truett McConnell a try. Doing the religion classes was not as bad as they seem. It is just like going to another college and you have to Chemistry 2 which they don't require the additional Psy which they don't require. I had a 74 on ATI and it was accepted. It is a new program and they will be more accommodating that a more established school. I went there and like waht I saw and there and I am in . I did all their religion classes in one semester.

I live in gainesvile, so my options are limited. I'm going to apply to Brenau this spring for next year. We shall see what happens but I don't see any hope in NGCSU.

I was very tempted to apply at TMC, but the tuition held me back. HOPE and other government scholarships don't apply to me where I need to pay out-of-pocket.

It's do or die with UNG this time around! ;-)

They also have an internal scholarship that they give.

Yeah, but I only qualify to a handful of them because of my age (37) and a couple of constraints. But TMC seems like a great place to learn and I love Dr. F! :-)
