Gordon State College Nursing Program Spring 2015 Hopefuls

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Hello, I just applied to the Gordon State College ASN program last month, but I do not many others who have applied. I'm super nervous with this being my second time applying. I would like to stay up to date with others who are applying, so if anyone is out there looking for someone to talk to through this process, please respond! I'd like to know yall's stats. I know a lot of people like to ask what my stats were when i wasnt accepted last year, so they are as follows...

gpa: 3.0

critical thinking: 68

teas (no longer need): 67.8

I'll post my current ones once someone replies, plus I'd like to know yall's. thx!!

Awesome gpa!!!!! And ct score!! I'm sure you will get in, but I will be sure to pray:) yes, a lot of people applied, but not many passed the ctt... I tlkd to a few girls at the testing area, quite a few, about four or five, but out of all of them, only me and one other passed. And a girl who was in my cna class who also is applying said practically everyone in her group failed. She took it the day before me.

Thank you :) Well I am sorry to hear a lot of people didn't pass, I know I would have been devastated if I didn't. Hopefully it does not prevent them from pursuing and reaching their goals. I hope the next month and a half goes by fast and I hope we all recieve the acceptance letters that we are hoping and praying for :nurse:

The critical thinking exam is a reasoning and logic test. It tests your ability to think critically and requires application of facts. The TEAS is 100% knowledge based. It tests science, math, English, and reading. They aren't similar at all despite being made by the same company. If anyone needs help preparing for the critical thinking exam, I am happy to pass along some tips. I scored an 87.5 on it last semester.

Yes could you please give me tips on the CT Exam. Thanks so much!

Look up practice problems/quizzes for categorical syllogisms. That's pretty much all the exam consists of :)

Good luck, guys! Five years ago, I wanted to enter their LPN-RN bridge program. Despite having been invited to join their Honors program, the nursing department wouldn't even hand me an application for the LPN-RN bridge...and it wasn't nearly as competitive as the generic program. Ten months later, I received my RN license in the mail....2 months short of Gordon's next application period.

The moral to the story is, if they turn you down, make sure you've already lined up a Plan B. Don't just sit and wait and hope that they change their minds. There are other schools. If you've already completed all of your general education requirements and they are still rejecting you for whatever reason, move on to another institution.

One of the friends that I met during my brief experience with the college had been rejected for 4 years (already had a Bachelors in another area), yet she kept applying and taking courses that didn't apply because that was all that was left to take, until they finally pulled her out of class and politely dismissed her from the school.

Well, it's October everyone!! Letters will be here soon!

I have a quick question, does anyone know if your MAJOR ON BANNER WEB changes once you're accepted? If so, what to? Right now it says nursing (asn intended).

If anyone gets their letter, a post wld be very appreciated. Thanks!!

hey guys,

I know ya'll have already applied to the program for this spring, but I wanted to know if the gpa is calculated solely based on the courses they've listed as 'pre-req core classes'? I'm interested in applying for fall 15, but I wanted to make sure my gpa will be calculated from those specific courses.

thanks for responding and well wishes on acceptance!

When I went to the lady to give my application, she checked to make sure that I had the right core classes and a good gpa, and what she exactly said to me was "looks like your gpa is well over the minimum" but she wasn't looking at my current 2.9 gpa, she was looking at my current gpa which was 3.0. She never looked on the computer for my current gpa
