GCU Summer 2012

Published

Hello,

My name is Keisha and I am currently taking the prereqs for GCU's summer 2012 program. Is anyone else thinking about applying?

My first choice is the program at St Joe's.

Yeah! I think it'll be nice because we'll all hopefully be close and be able to help each other! I'm sure our orientation isn't formal, but I'm gonna dress semi decent!

I don't know what I'm wearing. Probably jeans and a t-shirt! I might throw on some scrubs (if I decide to go to work tomorrow). But no, I doubt it will be formal.

Now that the orientation is done I'm trying to get everything settled to meet the requirements!

I'm so nervous! I'm glad orientation is over! Now, I only have to get a physical, turn in my immunization info, and find a way to pay for school!

It was a relief for me (i'm not sure about you) when the financial counselors said they could charge summer and fall as a new academic year if you maxed out your fasfa over this school year...

Unfortunately it didn't help me :-( I'm maxed out on my student loans from my 1st degree. So, I'll be a cash paying student. I thought about applying for a private loan, but I want as little debt as possible. Hopefully when my COM 270 grade posts, I'll have a 3.7 GPA. So, I should qualify for the highest transfer scholarship.

When I transferred into GCU in the fall I didn't get a scholarship and it sucked. Instead of taking only my prereqs they looked at all my classes including ones I retook which was awful because they took the new grade and the old grade for some reason. It got me really upset! The only thing I don't like about GCU is the loans I'll have to take out; I don't know how much you took out your first degree, but it's frustrating. I'm afraid I'll max mine out before I graduate so..hopefully I'll be okay! I hate that I have to be claimed as dependent (under 24) but I don't get help from my mom! It's lame!

Can you apply for a scholarship now that you are in the program?

What did you think about orientation? Do you live close to St Joe's? I live in Maricopa. It'll be about an hr drive for me (in rush hr)!

Hey

I was at the meeting too, I also have a long drive to St. Joe's! Do you guys know if not having a Hep B vaccine will prevent me from any clinical sites? They probably mentioned it but there was so much info I didn't grasp it all.

I don't think it will prevent you from participating at the clinical sites. They recommend the Hepatitis B Vaccine though.
