Augusta tech and 2016

auralia · Jun 7, 2016

I am waiting. I heard some people were already accepted this past week. My gpa depends on how they look at it... if they take only classes I took at augusta I have a 4.0 if they calculate transfer classes too I have a 3.75. I have A's in anatomy I and II and micro. I got a 91.2 on the teas as well. What are your stats?

Online as of now no one has registered for the classes as it still says 0 of 35 slots have been taken.

My GPA is a 3.85 and my teas is a 74, I've seen where someone said they don't caculate transfered credits, but I don't believe that is correct. I have a classmate that has been accepted (she received a phone call) but was told that class registration would be done during orientation. Congrats on your teas score.

Did you take the Teas at Augusta tech?

auralia · Jun 9, 2016

do you know what your friends stats were and if she was in the first or second ranking? I took the teas at Augusta in January. I also took anp 1,2, micro and lifespan psychology... all a's, my 2 b's are from over 15 years ago, but according to the handbook I couldnt retake the classes as it says you can only retake classes if you have less than a B in the class.... sucks that 2 classes I took in high school for college credit when I was 17 lower my gpa now

if I go to degree works page it lists my gpa as a 4.0 so they must have to go in and manually adjust it if they do consider those 2 classes.

My friend has a 4.0 and made a 91 on her teas, and it was the 2nd round. She took her teas at Augusta State.

She got the call at the end of May.

It does suck about your classes from along time ago. But your grades are great and so is your teas. I could be wrong about them not using previous credit to caculate your GPA, but I really don't see how they could not caculate them in as in I know some people that went to GMC to do all their pre nursing classes and got into the program.

If I don't get in I'm seriously thinking about going to USC Aiken it's only 5 semesters and it's a BSN, of course i will need to take a few more classes. I've thought about Aiken Tech, but they take off summers and it would take about the same amount of time as going to USC. I've heard a lot of people say most hospitals make you sign a contract to get your BSN with in 3 to 5 years. I just wish they would let us know one way or the other.

Right now I'm retaking psychological because it's to old for all other colleges except Augusta tech, and I'm taking speech.

If they were just using the augusta tech grades i prob would have been called already as my stats would have matched your friends. I didn't know aiken had a 5 semester BSN. I will have to retake my psych, algebra, college writing, and speech to apply to aiken tech as the classes are more than 10 years old... if I dont get in i think i will take those four classes next year along with chemistry 1 and 2 as I know those are needed for the bsn eventually anyway and reapply next year.... the b's i have are in psyc and college algebra so I would hope if i retook them they would take the new grade, but the hand book says they only let you retake if you get a grade lower than a B the first time.

They don't count your speech and lifespan development because there's a part of a program, that is to get in.And you only have to retake Sciences if they're older than 10 years. Don't give up you have about the same chances as I do. I just wish they accepted more students because there graduation rate is really low. they usually start with 35 and end up with 15 or less graduating. Or stop having first round in second round because some of the students that have gotten in on the first round have had a low GPA and low TEAS test. I saw where a girl got in last year who said her teas were in the 60s and her GPA was I believe a 3.4, well I looked her up on FB. She not in school now.

Aiken has a fall and spring registration and they go on a points system.

It is discouraging... Looking at last years posts we would have both got in easily. I don't really understand this second ranking first ranking thing. I thought it was just 70% gpa, 30% teas who ever was the highest? So this isn't true? How does it all work then? Seems quite unfair of someone with a lower gpa got in over someone with better stats just based on having their pre reqs done earlier (I am guessing that's what puts you in one ranking vs the other?) .... Some people got letters 2 weeks ago! Def not as confident as I was before.....

I would need need to retake speech college writing, algebra and Psyc 101 to go to Aiken tech.... they won't take my old ones.... I got an a in lifespan my b in psychology is 17 years old lol :) they say Aiken has the better accreditation and if you go to Augusta you can only work in Georgia due to lack of national accreditation or that you have to jump through more hoops to transfer your license. Augusta is supposed to be applying for accreditation but if you go to the national website it does not say that they have applied so not sure who to believe there! I tried to apply there before I realized that all classes expire after 10 years in Aiken no matter the subject algebra doesn't change lol

I know how you feel, it's so frustrating. My husband keeps telling me stop worrying about things out of my control. But this is my life, lol and I'm not getting any younger.

I know if I get in I will graduate no if and or buts!

Well if you have to retake those classes, let me know I'll give you my opinion on the better teachers. BUT we have to keep having faith.

Oh my other rant is why in hell can't they tell everyone with in a few days instead of draging it out. They know it's no that hard to figure out. It's 35 people, those calls could be done in one day. It's as if they want you to suffer and why??

OK positive thoughts. Don't lose hope?

Are you a member of Phi theta kappa?

auralia · Jun 11, 2016

I was a member of phi about 15 years ago when I got my first aa degree. I was told if you are a member it is for life by the local chapter but never Pursued it..... I always doing something else..... 2 kids and hubby is military....

Every day without finding out makes me more bla...... Do you know If the send rejection letters at all or just acceptance letters? It looks like just about everyone knew by June 22 last year Mostly between the 9-15th if you go through the thread from last year.
