Is anybody at GSU a pre-nursing major?

Trying to get a group together so we can help and support each other throughout this horribly stressful process!

I'm a junior at GSU, I am applying for the ACE Program starting in Spring 2013. I'm a double-major in Psychology.

Looking to maybe form a study group for the TEAS? I've also finished all of the prerequisites and would be happy to help those in need :)

I haven't started the paper. I don't know where to start. As for my seat. I am the fourth or 5th row towards the back :) good to know I am not the only one on here!

Does anyone know if GSU replaces grades for program GPA? Meaning, if I got a "C" in a class and then retake it and get an "A", will GSU factor in both grades or only use the highest grade? I know of schools that do both but I wasn't sure about there. I'm applying for Fall 2013 ACE...good luck to everyone!!!!

Yes, they replace with the highest grade. The lower grade doesn't show and isn't calculated into program GPA. Good luck!

Hello Everyone!

I have been watching this site for months and figured it was about time for me to actually start posting! I am currently finishing up my pre-requisites at GTC, will be taking SNHP 3000 and NURS 2010 at GSU next semester and will be applying for the Spring 2014 ACE program (I've got some time but I'm still freaking out about getting in!). I am also taking the TEAS next weekend at Mercer for the first time. I'm taking it early to give myself some extra time to retake it just in case.

milesamelia - I had this same question and asked the nursing department. This is the response I received:

"If you decide to retake that exact same course again then GSU uses the last attempt at the course, not the highest grade. However if you decide to retake any of your sciences, the committee will take the 1stand 2nd attempt only and average them ."

I hope this helps! Good luck everyone!

They said at the orientation session they were going to change the retake policy so I guess they did...thanks for sharing that :)

What's everyone's stats?

Now that it's been 2 weeks my daily mailbox frenzy has begun! Hoping to find out before senior registration on the 24th!

I don't if anyone else does this, but you can check your application status online to see what it says. I have been checking neurotically for weeks now and it still says "complete-ready for review"; however, I found it highly suspect when all the sudden that system said that the application status check would be down from Oct. 19-Oct 22. Does this mean they are making decisions????

Also, ssferrans, it was nice to meet you and put a face to a name, see you on Thursday!

It will continue to say that even after you receive a decision. It's really just for making sure all of your application was received... Don't bother checking it!

Really!!! Well thanks for the info, but knowing me... I will probably still check it lol
