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 :)

AWE CONGRATS! I'm so nervous. I want to hear back, I feel like I'm not competitive enough but I really wanna got to Mercer. It'll be a dream come true. .Hopefully we hear something soon!

Do you think it depends on our counselor when we get a decision? My mom spoke to Ms. Anderson and she told her they were really busy this time of year.

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

You have to have your application fee in before they will make a decision. The May 1st deadline is the deadline for the entire application to be considered.

I'm IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just checked the portal and it says "decision made" and under that, "conditionally accepted" (gotta make at least C's in A&PII, Micro, and Nutrition)!!!! Oh my goodness I am thrilled and cannot wait to meet you all in the fall! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting! Don't worry about how long it's taking - I was under review for 31 days!

My stats:

Overall GPA: 3.4 or 3.5 (not sure what transferred and how they calculated it)

Science GPA: 4.0 (but taking A&PII & Micro now)

TEAS: 84.7

I have a prior bachelors degree in Anthropology from 100 years ago. HA. And NO healthcare experience or even healthcare related volunteer work.

Good luck everyone! And congratulations to all who have recently gotten in!
