Gordon Nursing Program Spring 2011

Published

Hello everyone!

I am applying to Gordon College's nursing program for the spring. I was accepted to the program for the fall semester but had to decline because I did not think that I could finish my A&P2 and micro classes this summer. My gpa dropped a little since I was accepted and I was wondering if any previously accepted students could help me determine my chances for getting in for the spring. I am taking A&P2 and microbiology this fall to satisfy the rest of my core. My gpa is a 3.26 and I got an 83.5 on my TEAS. Do you think that those scores will be good enough? When I got in for fall I had a 3.36 gpa and the same score on my TEAS, so theyre not that much different. This is the only program that I am applying for so I'm just hoping that I get in. If anyone can help me figure out my chances, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks :)

It sounds like she's saying that the best of the best students were already picked and the worst of the worst were already declined. I don't know. All I do know from reading some posts from last year this time is that alot of students were waitlisted until almost Christmas time last year. Atleast they ended up getting accepted but that definitely sucks waiting that long but I am sure it was definitely a great Christmas present.

Hey, I just went by Smith hall, and spoke to the black woman who works up there. "SOME" letters have been sent for rejections, however those letters were sent for automatic rejections. People who failed so submit complete transcripts, were not accepted at Gordon yet, did not meet the minimum GPA or TEAS score. She said the letters would be going out in the following weeks.

Thanks Sowhat. Wish she would of said some more. They try to be so closed mouthed about things. She knows exactly when them letters will be mailed. Oh well, thanks for asking. The waiting game continues....

you mean transcripts sent to the school of the nursing department?

I believe she means people who failed to submit their transcripts from other schools in with their packet, like for me I know for a fact I had to get transcripts from GSU, and hand deliver them with my packet. I think what she was talking about, was people who failed to turn in transcripts from all previous institutions of higher education.

okay what i was saying was not clear. What the lady from the nursing department said was that the only letters that had gone out so far were those who absolutely were not getting in. Such as those whose g.p.a.'s and teas scores were too low. What they had left was a group from which there would still be rejection letters but that from this group that was left, the people who were accepted would come from it. Im sorry for the confusion. Basically she was saying be thankful you did not get a letter early. She also said while I was on the phone not to be discouraged if the envelope is small. many schools when you apply a small envelope means no and a large envelope means yes. She said all the letters go out in the exac same packaging. GOOD LUCK hope this cleared things up

When I got my acceptance letter for the fall there were a lot of papers in it. So hopefully if its thick then its an acceptance. I applied again for the spring so I'm hoping for another acceptance!
