University of West GA 2013

U.S.A. Georgia

Hi, I was hoping to see if there was anyone here who isapplying to UWG for 2013? I have just submitted my application. What do youthink of their new requirements?

Hi @cabzun, you do not need to study any specific topic for the writing session. It is a basic question that requires your opinion or past experience. You do not have to write a formal essay. They will tell you that it can be as short as a paragraph. I wrote five paragraphs. No worries about it. It is easy. But still take it seriously! Especially since we do not know what the purpose of the writing session is. Hope this helps.

Hello All! I took the writing session this past Saturday 2/23/13 and it was a piece of cake! The proctor said " I know you dont believe me, but this will not be graded and DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR ACCEPTANCE INTO THE PROGRAM!" I have the same question that you all have, why are we writing this essay if it is not being graded? How will they give everyone a fair chance of getting into the program besides your academic record? I just hope that I am one of the 160 students that get into the program! Newman or Carrollton! Doesn't matter I just need to get in!!

As hard as it is to comprehend, it is all out of our hands. We have done our best. We have done all that they have asked of us and then some. Will it be hard to wait until April? Yes it will, but regardles of the answer we will survive. Will be be happy? NO...I for one will be crying and stomping around wondering how much better I need to be (there will be a lot of moaning and groaning at my house). The truth is, I know I did my best. I studied hard, I made good grades, and I know I am the best person I can be. I am a good wife and mother, and I will make a GREAT nurse, because this is the only thing I have ever wanted. I wanted it so bad, I left a good job, and went back to school (even though the I was scared to death) after 25 years of being out of the classroom.

My prayers are with you all, and regardless of my outcome, I will celebrate along with you if you get in, because I know how hard you worked for it.

@tiahlee and @mytwoboysmom, I too am right there with both of you. The writing session was a piece of cake. I would almost rather the school use the essay we had to write in the admissions process than for nothing at all. I too wondered how we all would have a fair chance for the program. I am so nervous until I get that letter in the mail box! This is my third time applying for nursing school. It is so competitive right now. I am praying for alll of us and hoping that we all get good news! I am not choosy about which campus either, I just want to get this thing going!!

Yes! @leoprad22 we will get in! WE MUST CLAIM IT!! NOTHING BUT POSITIVE ENERGY!!

Indeed!

I have a cousin that is in the program at uwg right now and she said she found out she was accepted during her spring break last year. Who knows if that will be the same this year, especially with the new process, but fingers crossed we will hear soon!!

For those that applied did you apply elsewhere or just uwg?

I applied to UWG and UNG

I applied to University of West Ga only this time around and only because of time restraints! I think we will hear before April 1st. Everytime I go to the mailbox, I peak inside and still no letter yet. Should be any day though. In other forums from the past, it seems like some people received their letter starting around March 24th! So, fingers crossed for everybody.

I applied to uwg and I am trying to get my paperwork done for west ga tech also. I didn't have much time to get paperwork done because we had a last minute transfer with my hubby's job to Atlanta so I didn't have the pre-reqs for schools here.

I am also limited because we live in peachtree city and I can't relocate for schools since my husbands job is here. I am going crazy waiting....I just want to find out already!

I applied to UWG and GSWSU.

Hi everyone, I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but I would not expect letters until after April first. The deadline this year was two weeks later than last year, and when I spoke to my advisor (about something unrelated, but I couldn't help myself) she said that the letters will be put in the mail ON April first, not a day sooner. I hope this helps with the mailbox heartattack you must be having everyday when you check your mail. I know it takes about 3 days for mail to get to my house from UWG so I will start looking around the 4th. It helps that I will be out of town until the 3rd...
