Hello all! Here is my story. This January, I applied to Augusta State University and was put on the alternates list and was never called. I was so disappointed to the point I felt like giving up. So I decided to apply to Darton College nursing program instead. This is my fourth time applying. I have a GPA that is not high (3.0 GPA) but I haven't taken the TEAS test for Darton College yet. I have been studying the ATI book for almost two months and I am feeling confident about the TEAS test. My plan is to get a 90 or higher on this test. My question is, what have you guys heard about the evening track or about the program itself? I know my grades aren't perfect, so I chose to write a letter to the application committee. Although an essay was not required for the evening track, I chose to do one anyway. I needed to make myself stand out as much as possible. I attached a picture of me on the letter, borders , and 1 quote at the bottom on the page. I made it looked professional as possible.

Hi Success88,
I know how you feel. I kept applying and finally got in. Now I have to apply for the Spring Evening Program as well due to personal life interfering with nursing. I hope you all get in because nursing is tough and rewarding as well. It is so true when the instructors tell you to READ, READ, READ!!! Follow their advice once you get in and you will pass to the next course!! Hope to see you all soon
