Georgia Baptist College of Nursing Fall 2009

[GaMommy81]

Hello Everyone,

I am gearing up to apply for Fall 2009 at Georgia Baptist. I wanted to know if anyone else is applying there for Fall 2009 as well, or if there is anyone who has already been accepted and wouldn't mind sharing their credentials (i.e. overall gpa, nursing gpa, science gpa, if all prerequisities were completed, net score etc.) I am just trying to get a feel for the type of applicant they are looking for. Thanks so muc!

They spent time talking about cheating and plagiarism, then they talked about the honor council.. that was interesting.. they have a schedule that they send out to you so that you know how the day is going to be spent. In my opinion the part of the day after lunch was a total waste of time. The lunch wasn't good in my opinion.. so me and friends ended up going off campus to get something to eat. It was mayhem trying to figure out anything about uniforms because everyone wanted to do that at the same time, but if you stick it out you can try on the tops and pants and the lab coats. The faculty really didn't know much about the schedule, because they haven't decided on anything yet... so hopefully you guys (the august orientation people) will know more about our class schedule.. apparently we've all been registered for classes and our schedule is on bearport.. but of course.. bearport isn't working right now.

Ok cool. Thanks for the info! I'm doing my drug test today and my OSHA and HIPPA stuff this weekend. I'm just so ready for the "process" to be over and start school already! LOL.

How is everyone's fin.aid looking like? I do not have enough money whatsoever. I applied for a loan through citibank and was denied.....if i cant get a private loan...im screwed

I was told by fin aid that they had 100 scholarships given on a first come-first served basis that gave $4,000 for juniors and $4500 seniors. Did anyone get this scholarship?

I was really looking forward to the service cancel-able loan, but then was told from financial aid that they already gave out all of those loans, and the best way to get that loan for next year is to have all your financial aid information in before march.. which I really don't see how that is possible..

i am ready for school to start too!! i think everyone should try on the uniforms. i know if i didn't i would not have been able to pick the correct sizes.

i got my bearport id on my own so you don't have to wait in line on that day. just stop by before classes start. don't forget to go to the police office to pick up your parking decal and for the laptop users go to it before school starts.

i have all my books.

desikudi313 i do live in lawrenceville so i will email you shortly.

i hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the rest of the summer because i heard we are in for it. i am sure everyone is up for the challenge!!

i can't wait to meet all of you guys!!

zirine_sa i'm sorry to hear that. don't give up. something has to give you have come so far. if you can go to the fin aid office and beg someone to help you. i was a little upset too. i don't think it is fair for new students because we are at the mercy of when we are admitted to the school.

i know i'm renewing my fasfa jan. 1!!!!
