Oh ok. When I told my GCU advisor she said it didn't matter if I had that scholarship.

They say we will find out 4 weeks after the deadline

Erika,

Oooooh I thought you meant you got a scholarship from GCC! Yes I did get the scholarship information form in the mail. If I get accepted I will most like get that scholarship because my science GPA is a 3.7 and my total GPA is a 3.9

Livsmama14, I get the feeling the advisors don't even really know what is going on. Ever time I call, I'm getting different information. I'd rather take the info you were given than the one I got, lol! Oh well, we will see how it goes on Monday...:/

YES! ugh it is so frustrating. I was told that as a transfer, I couldn't actually talk to a nursing advisor so I have been dealing with a 'transfer' advisor. He has been really great though and seems to keep me up to date on what he thinks is happening. I'm keeping my head above water, but trying not to get my hopes up too high as a transfer unfortunately. From what I know, not sure how true, the Hesi score changed from a 75% to a 70% with a 3.25 GPA, and they are accepting applications in tiers. So, tier one is all GCU, tier 2 is 12+ credits at GCU, tier 3 is one semester at GCU and tier 4 is all transfers lol. I have also heard that tier 4, all the transfers, is now a lottery. So, they essentially just put everyones name in a hat and draw however many more slots they have left :/. good for the people who are barely scraping by, bad for the transfers who worked their butts off for good GPA etc in hopes that would put them high on the list. I'll keep everyone posted on if I hear more/different next week! Is everyone listening to the webinar on Tuesday?

The lottery won't be like that tile next year. It's actually going to happen like this (according to the webinar)

Tier 1: GCU students with GPA of 3.49 or higher and a HESI higher than 80%.

Tier 2: GCU students with GPAs at 3.25-3.49 and HESI score at 70%

Tier 3: transfer students with 3.49 or higher GPA and High HESI score

Tier 4: Transfer students with a 3.25 and 70% HESI will be a lottery

They aren't going to be taking any transfers for the Fall 2015 start. They could not get enough clinical spots to even support their students. Just so everyone is prepared to hear that.

What!??? Where did you hear that? Oh my gosh, this is another disappointment.

segrace · May 11, 2015

An advisor. They alerted them all on Friday I think. You really can't expect too much from this school.

livsmama14 · May 11, 2015

I was afraid of this! My advisor emailed me late Friday and wanted to touch base with me today about more changes that just happened. I hadn't had a chance to chat with him yet, but I assume this is what is was about:/

Did you have time to talk to your advisor is this true??
