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
I know, I can't wait to hear back. I'm hoping I get in. @RNyurizar I know my teas score was 77 and my GPA was 3.1 from what I remember. What was your stats??
@AMB22 yes, I hope so. I have experience working as a nurse tech and volunteer experience. I submitted my resume with my application so hopefully I will get in.
@RNyurizar I am not able to send you a private message on here because it won't allow me. My Facebook is under my name kiera frazier but if you can't find me call the financial aid office at Mercer they are super helpful! lakeisha is great with answering questions
