Georgia Baptist College of Nursing Fall 2015

[ClassyNurse17]

Hey Guys! I wanted to start at threat for those who have applied or been accepted to Georgia Baptist College of Nursing for 2015. I applied in October and was accepted last week. The reason I heard back so soon is because I have completed all of my prerequisite classes. Has anyone else applied or heard a response yet? If you all don't mind we could share our stats as well (Teas and GPA) that would be helpful to others viewing the thread. I applied with a 3.6 and a C on my teas. I was afraid that I was going to be denied but I think my essay helped out a ton. I was going to retake a class or my teas but they accepted me before I had to go through all of that. I hope to hear back from you all as we begin this process together. Thank you all so much and good luck to everyone.

Hello everyone,

I am really interested in applying to GBCN but my GPA is really low. Does anyone know the lowest GPA they accepted for this Fall?

Hello Meeep

I have seen your posts and those are really helpful to me.

I desperately want to go GBCN, but my gpa is not good enough. I hope that I have a chance to ask you questions about GBCN.

[Jayleen21]

mine is really low too science gpa is okay 3.5 but my overall gpa is messed up.

Are you going to apply GBCN for fall 2016?

[meeep, BSN, RN]

Jayleen, a 3.5 is fine. What is your overall. Mercer does not just look at GPA. They look at the whole package of what makes you, YOU. They place a lot of emphasis on the essay. You can send in letters of recommendation and a resume of volunteer activities/life experience as well. They will accept supporting materials you think will bolster your application. I am not applying for fall, I will be a senior there in the fall. I am willing to answer any questions you have.

Thank you, Meeep!!! I really appreciate your kindness.

I felt like I stuck in the middle of nowhere.

My overall gpa is 2.8x. The final grade for summer is not posted yet, so I do not know exact gpa.

I visited the admission office, and the lady in the office gave me a pamphlet about the nursing program. It says minimum gpa 3.0. Did you see anyone has gpa below 3.0 and got accepted?
