Calling all GBCN/Mercer Students & Alumni

Published

Hello Everyone! I plan on applying to GBCN for Fall '11 and I am hoping some of you can help me. I have completed all of the pre-req's except for 3 science courses which I am planning to take at a local tech. college. Here's my question: have any of you completed your science pre-req's at local tech or community college's and were they accepted for transfer? I'm asking because there is a statment on GBCN's website that indicates that they look at the competitive nature of the college where the credits are being transferred from. Thanks for all of your help!

Hi!

I'm a current student at GBCN and I transferred all of my science courses from GPC so you should be fine. But the best thing to do is get in touch with an admissions counselor at GBCN and ask them. Good luck. Ga Baptist is an amazing school with amazing professors.

Thank you so much Hopeful2011! I am already in contact with an admissions counselor there and she has been super helpful. The thought crossed my mind over the weekend so I decided to ask here (besides, I don't want to seem like a pest). As a current student, can you offer any advice or tips on getting accepted? GBCN is my top choice so I want to do everything I can to get in. Thanks again!

I think the thing you should spend the most time on is the essay that you're going to have to write when you apply. One of the most important things for the essay is that whoever reads it should be able to get an idea of who you are after reading it. GBCN wants to make sure that the students who they accept into the program are people who are good people. Another important thing would be to do well on the TEAS entrance exam, so I would get a couple different study books and do a few questions everday.. just so you can get used to the types of questions.

Don't worry about the admissions counselors thinking you're a pest... the more questions you ask the better.. and the counselors definitely are more than happy to take your questions and to help you in any way possible.

Good luck!!!!!
