With 4.0 it is always IN as long as your TEAS are passing.

I don't feel very confident either because I won't finish my application until later April.... By then I think they will have many applications to compare me with. I am going crazy too because I need to study for the TEAS and now i feel more pressured to do well because I only have one chance left! UGH!! Well Good luck to you and keep me posted! =)

Hey,

I have been reading your posts and looking for updates but haven't seen any. I also applied to GBCON in early February and I am still patiently waiting. I hope and pray that we get in. Keep me posted please

I'm pacing the floor too waiting on an acceptance letter from Mercer. I saw on a thread yesterday that someone got an acceptance letter Wednesday and they had only applied the week before. I applied several months ago too. My gpa is a 4.0 and my TEAS was a 87. I keep checking the mailbox every day waiting to see that IMPORTANT envelope!!!! Good luck to all who are waiting!!

I am still waiting also! I applied about a month ago and haven't heard anything yet. My GPA is 3.2 and my TEAS is 80% plus I have been working as a Medical Assistant for 2 years while taking classes. I just wish I knew when I would find out, since the application deadline isn't until mid May, will we have to wait until after then? Is anyone else going to the information session April 1st? They stated that the admission staff spends a lot of time with students who have a complete application, so part of me is wondering if they are waiting to meet me to make a decision.

Yes, my friend and I will be attending the session next Friday(April 1st). I wanted to know if they would review our application with us on that day so I hope that is true! I really hope that we get in; I hope this is our year!

Weshallsee · Mar 22, 2011

Yeah, I kind of hope they will review our application with us! I emailed to ask what all they will be going over/doing during the information session, but my admissions counselor hasn't emailed me back yet.

Nextnurse · Mar 23, 2011

I emailed them too but no reply. But the website says the session is only an hour so I'm guessing that wont be enough time to see all of us. I guess we have to wait and see!

I applied in early January and received my acceptance letter by mid to late February. My GPA isn't that high; I'm graduating from Texas A&M in May with around a 3.2. My TEAS score was pretty high though, 90.7%. Overall, even though my GPA isn't that high, I think my volunteer/work experience is what really helped my application. Good luck everyone!

Hey Lindsay_11,

Congrats. I'm still waiting. My GPA is a 3.29 and I got a 74 on the teas. I am currently a volunteer at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, have been for about a year now. I am kind of scared now because it seems like a lot of people have been getting letters. Did you finish all the prereqs? I am currently doing the last two classes that I needed; religion and philosophy. Congrats to you again. I hope I'll have good news to share. :nurse:
