Georgia Baptist College of Nursing/ Mercer University Fall 2019

Published

Hey!

I wanted to start a thread for those applying to Mercer's nursing program starting fall 2019. As of now, I know that the application has not been opened but they did say is should open sometime this month. I am on my last semester of prerequisites, which consists of microbiology and the lab and philosophy. I had my transcript evaluated last semester and was told my transfer GPA is a 3.349 and my science GPA is a 3.000. I highly recommend you guys get your transcript evaluated, especially those transferring! I have 2 years experience as a CNA in home care and 1 in the hospital setting along with some hospital volunteer hours. Share your stats, advice and questions. Good luck to everyone!

hey, everyone

how do I sign up for orientation? after you pay to keep your spot, do we just wait?

Has anyone started looking into loans? Starting to freak out about the price tag.

Have you been to orientation? She told us to apply for the SAL loan. You can get up to $8,000 for it if you’re selected, but it’s limited availability so apply ASAP. Also it’s only 1% interest while you’re in school as long as you make KIT (keep in touch payments for like $10 a month) it’s on gafutures.org I believe

But don’t you have to Accept both subsidized and unsubsidized loans in order to get SAL?

Yes, that’s correct. I don’t about for you, but I had to accept both. This tuition is $$$$ killer.
