Hey! I can understand your anxiety, I remember the wait! ? my teas was 67 and my gpa was 3.8. What campus will you be attending griffin? I wish you the best of luck!

Either griffin or thomaston. I am very anxious. Is the program difficult?

It's not easy. I just finished my first half of the semester and I felt like crying or quitting everyday. But if you really want to make it you will, by sacrificing most of your time with reading/studying all the time. Make friends with people in your class so you can have a good support group. Stay strong and focused and you'll make it. You'll see people go little by little for one reason or another. Just hope and pray you make the cut every time.

The cut? Can you elaborate. Lol

You will have exams every Monday morning over the assigned chapters from the week before. So at midterms they call each student in one by one and assess your overall score so far, if for instance your scores are below average and there's no way you can make a come back. Then you'll have an option to drop/withdraw whatever. I'm not sure how that conversation goes as I was passing. Then at the end of the first 6 weeks you will have a final exam over your fundamentals and if you fail the final you're out. All the students who passed the final can then go on to the final lab exam and head to toe check off, if you don't pass the lab or head to toe then you're out.

Wow. That seems intense. I'm sure if I get in I can dedicate myself to do so. Do the people that fail seem to be slackers?

No. That's what sucks.

Another dumb question. Do you have to wear your uniforms everyday?

Only during clinicals and head to toe check offs
