Georgia baptist college of nursing/Mercer University Fall 2018

Published

Hey! Just wanted to start a forum for anybody applying to this program for fall 2018. I have everything turned in and I'm just waiting for it all to process on the portal. I retook some science course after I dropped out of school for three years but managed to repeat all my classes with an a so my science gpa is looking like a 3.7 but it will be a 2.9 if it is averaged but I am not sure. I have 400 hours of volunteer service. 2 years of CNA experience. 1 year of managent experience ans I got an 85.3 on my teas first try. Feel free to share your stats or your anticipation! If I'm accepted I also would like to know my future colleagues :)

So if I I became under review last week, how long do y'all think I have to wait for my decision? I'm so excited & anxious :)

Probably 1 week! I feel like everyone is submitting stuff right now so maybe a little longer.

So, they told me I would hear within two weeks, but I didn't. : ( They haven't asked me for midterm grades, but I kind of wish they would! ha! (I finished all my midterms last week and did well). I don't know what I can do. I hope I'm not waiting until May! yikes.

The email said they will have a decision in the next 3-4 weeks. Urgh I hate waiting. It makes me so anxious

So have people already heard decisions for fall 2018? I haven't heard anything yet.

I have everything submitted except for my application fee, but the deadline for that said May 1st...should I be worried?

GPA: 3.5

TEAS: 90

Ok, I got an email saying it would be another week. But soon! this wait is killing me. No idea why they haven't asked me for my midterm grades, and I hope that's not a bad sign. EEK. Good luck everyone!

They emailed me asking when I'm planning on taking Nutrition, Communications, and Philosophy. I said in the summer, I hope not having those classes done doesn't interfere with my decision. I heard they had an online school they recommend to students to do in the summer if they get accepted. Ugh!

Also, how did you send them your grades? Something official from your professors?

I sent a screenshot of my grades!

Congratulations, Sazzza! Also, Beckyyy, I'm taking Nutrition this summer - I also got an email asking me when I was planning to take a bunch of classes, even classes I'm currently enrolled in. I cleared it up - it was just a form letter. Hope we hear something good soon!
