Georgia perimeter fall 2013

[seevay]

I have an overall GPA of 2.25, my program GPA is a 3.15...i got a D in my human anatomy lecture but re-took it with an A. I have yet to take the teas. However the requirements at GPC are....min. 2.0 overall GPA, 2.7 in program GPA 2.7 in biology. However i was previously studying in business administrations so i have around 5 W'S and have failed only one class. What are my chances of getting accepted? Has anyone gotten accepted with similar scores/ similar circumstances?

So once again, overall GPA: 2.25 (2.3 with this upcoming A)

Program GPA: 3.15 (with only one re-taken course )

Bio GPA:3.5 (I'm also not sure if the previous D in A&P will be included in the calculations...)

requirements:

Overall GPA: min. 2.0

Program GPA 2.7

Bio GPA:2.7

Can you retake it? What did you have trouble with?

Nurse2b don't let the requirement discourage you! If you want to go there give it a try! I don't meet the GPA requirement at N. GA but I applied anyways because I'm hoping they'll take into account the fact that I got a Chemistry degree from THEM and I had a decent TEAS score...it might not matter but I figure its worth a shot!

You're welcome!! :) I'd love to attend but my Teas scores prevented me from applying.

I got a letter from gpc yesterday saying they have received everything and I have met all the requirements so I should hear something by April 30th! I'm so nervous!

A few months ago I had emailed Mrs creel on info to the program and she told me that they "admit 200 students for 160 slots"

does anyone know how that works? Will they let you know if you are waitlisted or what?

[milesamelia]

April 30th seems so far away!!! I think they have let teachers go recently because apparently they only have 120 spots now instead of 160...if you look at the end of the GPC Fall 2012 thread you will see that...not sure if its correct though! I don't think they use an official "wait list"...I copied the FAQ from their webpage below for you. I think you get either an acceptance or denial letter but I'm pretty sure I've heard of people not getting in and then getting an acceptance letter in July...there is so much conflicting info about GPC!!! Anyways, let the wait begin! Last year acceptance letters came in March so hopefully that will be the case this year as well! Good luck:)

Is there a waiting list?

No. A waiting list is not kept. Any applicant not admitted, or accepted students who decide not to enter the program, may update their application, in writing, the succeeding semester, but will be considered according to the same criteria.

[GaNicuRN14]

Yeah I read that also that they were taking it down to 120, but I'm hoping they decide not to do that! I just didn't understand how it worked when she said they admit 200 for 160 slots, but I guess the extra forty receive rejection letters unless someone else who was accepted denies their spot? All of this is so stressful! but good luck to us all!

[milesamelia]

Seriously! I had no idea getting into nursing school would be so stressful!!! As far as the admitting extra students goes, they say they do that because not all students who receive acceptance will end up going there...thats probably why they don't do an actual wait list. I'm with you though, I want to know what happens if more people than they are planning on end up attending...seems like they're kind of taking a risk! How long went by between you submitting your application and receiving the letter? I mailed mine in but I never got a letter so I ended up submitting it electronically today just in case!

[GaNicuRN14]

First I submitted my application electronically and I think about a week later I got a letter saying they received that but they still need my teas score, so after I sent them it was about another week or so that I got this letter that I have met all requirements. So you should receive something in about a week-week and a half. I'm not sure how long it would take since you mailed yours, I'm assuming it would take a little longer than electronically.

[milesamelia]

I finally got my letter saying I met the minimum requirements...i think I was just being impatient! I know the letter says April 30 but it seems like in the past people have gotten acceptance letters as early as mid march??? Hopefully that will be the case this year because I am already antsy!

[whoadee]

Good luck ladies! Here's to hoping we all make it into the program!!

[GaNicuRN14]

I know I'm getting anxious! I think we will hear back before April 30th, I think they probably give the latest possible date so that they don't have tons of people calling them freaking out lol I'm still confused on how some people on here have said that they got an acceptance letter in like June.

[Nurse2B2016]

GOOD LUCK to you ALL!!!!!!! I will be in your shoes next year :)))

[whoadee]

I'm still confused on how some people on here have said that they got an acceptance letter in like June.

I was reading through the Fall 2012 threads and I think those were the people that called to see why the didn't get in. MY thinking on the matter was that once you get your acceptance letter, you have to then say YES I AM going to attend the program. Maybe they got letters late bc they weren't originally sent letters, but when ppl who DID get them declined, more spots opened up, so they let in the ppl that were just below the ones that did get letters. Does that make sense?
