U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

I browsed around and didn't see a MSON- Charlotte Fall 2012 thread, so I thought I'd create one!

Anyone else applied or planning to apply for Mercy School of Nursing for Fall 2012 acceptance??

Do she tell you if 7.2 was competative, I do not know how many points I got

The point system is based on like 1.0 point for an A in API and so forth, the teast are also point system, the reading, math and science and the total. I know she said that a 6.3 was the absolute min to even be considered. For any of you that have been accepted into MSON or CPCC now or in the past can you PLEASE tell me what your tEAS scores ran. I am really worried and feeling like I wont make it in this round due to the competitivness based on TEAS which I believe everyone considers to be the most impt thing on the app. I also now that MSON only allows people to take the teas 2 times total for consideration by them, and I would have to wait until april (3mo) to retake them. Any advice?

thanks

I just got my acceptance letter! I'm so excited! I've wanted to go to Mercy for years!

Stats:

College GPA: 3.5

TEAS V: 88

SAT (nine years ago): 1400

I have all the pre- and co-requisites completed, and if I recall correctly, these were my grades:

A&P I: A

A&P II: B

Micro: A

Nutrition: B

I don't know a lot about how the point system works, but had been told I needed between 75-80% on the sections of the TEAS to be competitive (I took it in January).

Congratulations, everybody!

Congratulations Semper_Gumby!

Have you applied anywhere else? I am still waiting to hear from CCHS and UNC but I'm not holding my breath, UNC would be a dream but Mercy was my top choice, affordable, good quality education, can't beat that.

Are you relocating to Charlotte? I will be moving from Asheville. I'm wondering how financial assistance and what housing offers they will have.

Thanks! Congratulations to you too!

I actually did not apply anywhere else, although I had several programs (including UNC) under serious consideration. I was pretty nervous about that decision! Mercy has been my dream school for several years (the increased clinical time and the educational model of diploma programs appealed to me immensely), so I am very excited! There are a couple of programs on this side of the state (Pitt CC and Wayne CC) that I would've applied to if I hadn't been accepted to Mercy, as they have later deadlines than most.

I will be relocating to Charlotte, though I'm not sure exactly when I will do that. I plan to apply for the housing they offer (apparently CMC has housing for Mercy and CCHS students), but if that doesn't work out for some reason, I will probably be roommate-hunting on Craigslist!

I, too, am wondering about financial assistance! I have a bachelor's degree, so I no longer qualify for Pell grants, but I hope to qualify for federal loans and (hopefully) scholarships. I plan to look for external scholarships as well.

Ah i see. I'm still awaiting UNC's response, but I know the value Mercy has to offer and sent in my confirmation check today. I'm so excited to start this process. I have attended small universities/colleges in the past and knew Mercy would fit right in with my experiences. And the fact that its a hospital based program brings so many benefits.

I'm interested in finding out more about the CMC housing program too. Hopefully we'll see something soon in the packet. I'm no longer on Facebook but I'm thinking someone will start a Facebook page soon for this class. Hopefully we can all get to know one another a bit before August rolls around.

I sent in my FAFSA already, I didn't even know that we second degree'ers do not qualify for pell grants and such. So I am willing to take out a loan, this school is relatively inexpensive compared to others, especially BSN programs. I'd rather take a loan, try to get a reimbursement and stay with CMC to finish up through my BSN. Or try to look for external scholarships as you say.

For now I just need to enjoy this moment b.c the pain is yet to come.. haha.
