I am making this thread because I am applying (VERY VERY EARLY) for GBCON! I have spoken with an advisor (******) and have sent my unofficials to her to be evaluated. I dont have the highest overall GPA and I would not like that to determine my acceptance. I am working hard to bring it up the most I can. I am registered to take the TEAS in September so I am currently busting my butt studying for it. I am also working on my essay. I need It to be perfect. The great thing about Mercer is that they dont just worry about your GPA or TEA scores, They look at it all! Even with my low GPA and not having completed AP1/2 or even Microbiology, Abigail still said I will be a competitive nursing applicant because of my work experience (I work at GMCD as a Unit Secretary/ Patient Care Tech in the OR)
I have a full course load this semester and next but the advisor STILL told me to apply ASAP, The earlier the better. The only thing she mentioned was that I would not receive an acceptance letter till my TEAS scores were submitted.
The faculty at GBCON IS AMAZING and so sweet! they answer any and every question you ask!!! Cant wait to hear from anyone who is applying for FALL 2017
Im so nervous.. I sent in my docs and stuff last minute, i hope there's enough space open. The anticipation is killing me!! I really want to attend Mercer b/c the Ga State program is so competitive...
@RNyurizar yes I did too lol I figured it couldn't hurt anything so I went ahead and submitted two. I hope it helps. @ kimanh_ don't worry about. I'm praying we all get in.
I've been checking my email every hour lol but I will continue to check it so I will keep you updated as soon as I receive an email. Thanks and good luck í ½í¸Š
