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
good luck, @Keyshea . I am just beginning the process and applying to GBCON for Fall 2018. This thread has been really really helpful! I am starting my prereqs in August at GPC and have just recently realized I may not be competitive at GSU for their ACE program. Plus, I'm REALLY drawn to Mercer. The campus is near my house and I love the idea of having summers off! Also, Jordan Kelly has been soooo helpful with answering questions and giving me a transcript evaluation (I have a bachelors from like 100 years ago. lol.) Good to luck to everyone who is still waiting!

How is everyone?! My application to Mercer nursing has been under review since Jan. 31. I've been frantically checking the portal. How is your first year of nursing school going?
