I figured someone else would have started a thread by now, but since they haven't I figured I would since the deadline is approaching in less than 2 weeks! I just wanted to know how everyone's application experience is going so far? Hopefully we can answer each others questions and this thread can serve as a place to share experiences especially while waiting for decisions.
I have my background check completed, my fingerprinting is in process, and I'm taking the HESI this week. I am super nervous!
I can't wait to hear from any of you who are applying! Don't be shy :) and good luck everyone!
I am an applicant as well, 3.8 GPA and a 96 overall on the Hesi A2 and don't believe I will be admitted based on emails with the school. I was told the spots had all been filled so If I were you I would get all my stuff together and hope for an opportunity to be an alternate for those who are not prepared. I did receive the Webinar email and will watch, however, I have already moved on and will be applying at other schools.
I offered to take a spot wherever they could put me. I can't discuss the emails I have received specifically but my guess is they have had more than expected apply from GCU. Transfer students get spots after their students, I almost spent the money to go for as semester just so I could be in that group. Fortunately for me I have other options. There is definitely a reason that the invites didn't go out. If I get a invite i'll share it.
Care to share the info with the rest of us who aren't in the know? Might at least help some of us make other decisions in a timely manner, I know I'd appreciate it!
I say we all wait a week, I have been freaking out just like you guys. I personally am taking an entrance exam for another university on Friday for an August start.
So this is THE EMAIL... the painful, most unwanted email...

Yeah, that just means they pushed back decisions for whatever reason. It isn't a denial email. They had a lot of problems with their administration this year. They may be understaffed or working on something else. Cheer up. We all got that email. Even current CGU students.
