GCU 2014 Summer

andiisme · Dec 8, 2013

I'll butt in too and tell you guys that I BARELY had the 3.0 science GPA & got accepted for Spring '14 start so definitely don't be discouraged from trying. Also the admissions advisors are very helpful and honest. If they think you don't have a chance they'll tell you what to do to increase your chances of acceptance. Follow their advice :) best of luck to you all

Hey everyone I am kind of lost. I am interested in applying to GCU for the summer 14 term, but on their website I can't find an application or any sort of prereq requirements. I want to meet with someone from the school to discuss the program, but it seems like the contact is different for every location. Does anyone know if there is a main nursing department number that I could call to schedule a meeting with an advisor? Thanks!

I have the full packet if you'd like me to email it to you

i think you have to get in contact with gcu and get in the school and then you get in contact with a nursing advisor. hurry thought theyre sending out fingerprint verifications and background checks soon! the last day to apply is jan 15 i believe. the contacts are not different for the different locations. you talk to one person and let them know which location you choose.

is anyone planning on doing the st joes program summer start '14?

I too am looking for the contact information for the nursing advisor for GCU. The guy who I have spoken to (------------) doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable about the fast track program.

amberdawn85 that would be amazing that you! I really appreciate it :) I called GCU yesterday and left a message for an advisor. I have not heard back yet but hopefully I will soon, especially if the application deadline is January 15th! Do you guys know what the prereq requirements are off hand?

hey clear some space in your inbox amberdawn85, I'm applying at st joes too!

Never heard back from the advisor who I left a VM for so I ended up driving down to the campus and speaking with a general undergrad admissions advisor. While I was there he had me apply to the school, and said he would follow up with me later and email me information about a nursing information session that was being offered both on campus and as a webinar. Have you guys attended this information session yet? I wish they would just make the application and all the program admissions information readily available online.

ryleea1, BSN · Dec 16, 2013

I have not, I think I heard of one back in Nov. I don't believe they're required, just some info on the program.

jmcampb3 · Dec 16, 2013

I signed up for the info session this Thursday evening! That seems to be the only way to get any info since I still have not heard back from anyone at the school. The quickly approaching application deadline is worrying me though! I still need to take the TEAS also if they are still accepting that instead of the HESI or Kaplan. Out of the prereq courses ryleea1 posted, I still need patho (which I am taking this spring at CGCC) and lifespan development! Hopefully that wont count against me too much :/ I think I am going to apply for the St. Joes location. I currently work at Chandler Regional Medical Center in the ED as a scribe and Dignity Health seems to treat their employees well from what I have heard from the ED nurses!
