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!

I was accepted a couple weeks ago, and I’m super excited ! I applied back in November and heard back January 18th

Teas: 89

gpa: 3.52

I also have been a CNA for a year so I’m sure they took that into consideration.

Congratssss ! I got a 85 on my TEAS so hopefully that helps.

I called them. They said to brush up on A&P and they keep it casual. And to treat it like a job interview. I have looked up some interview questions just to help. What are your stats?

Did you have an interview already ?

Has anyone who has been invited to an interview done theirs yet?

Hey guys!! I turned in my application around The beginning of January and got accepted in February!! I’m pretty excited, and I wanted to know if anyone who currently goes to Mercer could tell me about their experiences so far in the nursing program.

Hey!

Overall GPA: 3.7

Science GPA: 3.4

TEAS score: 78.9

Volunteer hours: 100+

I went to one of Mercer’s BSN sessions and the advisors said that the essay weighs a lot in your application. It is actually what can make or break your application.

They told me half the people that applied are having to interview and next year everyone will have to.

Has anyone been accepted recently? I did my interview 4weeks ago and they said we’ll hear from them in 3weeks and I’m yet to get a decision from them. Does anyone have the same experience? Did you get any decision yet?

I haven’t heard anything back from them either. I did the interview 4 weeks ago as well.
