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 :)

I think they last all day! I would just prepare to be there all day or at least most of the day. Hopefully I can attend that orientation as well!

Hello y'all, so my friend just submitted her final requirement to complete her application and she's under review. She has a REALLY good essay & a letter of recommendation submitted by her anatomy professor. I think she has a good chance of getting in, but I wanna hear other opinions. I NEED HER TO BE IN MERCER WITH ME :) Her stats are:

GPA:3.4

Science GPA: 3.3

TEAs:75

Has she taken the TEAS 2 times? They said the minimum score is 78 and they expect everyone to take it twice if they have a low score.

They said orientation will most likely last from 7 or 8-4PM!

Yes, it sounds like unless this is her second time taking the TEAS she should try to take it again asap. She can hand deliver her score the same day she takes it. They gave me official scores in an envelope. I'm pretty sure I remember Jordan saying something to me like that I should go ahead and take the TEAS in case I didn't make that 78 minimum so I would have time to take it again. it wasn't an issue, but I was of course worried for awhile about that. Good luck to your friend!
