GRU / Augusta University MSN CNL Fall 2017

Published

Hey guys, anyone else applying to the CNL program at Augusta University ( previously known as GRU)? I am going to be applying and if admitted I think I would prefer to make my move a few months post acceptance. I have 2 bachelors and my passion is with Psychiatric Mental health but I really don't want another Bachelors so the CNL seems just fine to have under my belt until I maneuver into a DNP program. It all sounds so pricey but in the end I believe it will be worth the while. I know I am early but hopefully others are interested. My scores aren't great but I saw people with similar scores with acceptance so lets just pray. I have great grades it is just one school gave me F's instead of W's when I withdrew in 2008 and I have had hell getting it off my record but it has no bearing on my gpa it is still "good" just not where it could be without 4-5 F's.

@mt03997 - yay! I hope you your letter is good news. My application status page does not say anything about a background consent form so that makes me feel a little anxious. We shall see.

@jennyrae1988 - my page displayed an error for a few hours before my status changed. Must be due to the update.

Has anyone who had a status change received their letter in the mail?

Hello peeps,

I applied to Athens campus and interviewed on January 12th. My portal updated today to decision made! Have any of my other peeps that interviewed on the same day gotten their letter yet? Also, mine says background consent form required now so fingers crossed!!

Have you gotten your letter yet?

No letter yet over here. Based on past posts, I expect it would take ~ 1 week from the day the status changes. Might be longer since Monday was a holiday. :wtf:

@trichick,

I'm amazed by all your experiences. Quick question about interview. Will they ask you if you have kids? Should you answer questions like that?

Good luck @nurse0102- the interview is very chill & more of a formality than anything else!

@kate8888 & @trichick- I remember oh so well waiting on the mail from Augusta University. I did the same thing as trichick to call admissions to see whether your letter had even been mailed out. My status had changed to decision made by mail on a Thursday afternoon & I did not receive the acceptance letter until the following Friday. You will likely receive your letter Friday or Monday! :). Hang in there!!

@trichick,

I was open about my family during my interview last year as well as this year. In fact, I declined my seat last year due to ongoing concerns with my younger son's speech delay and addressed my reasoning for my decision during the first part of my essay this year. I wanted to make sure it was known that my decision had nothing to do with my desire to enter the program, but that my family takes top priority over anything else and that's what required my full attention at the time:) Though they didn't ask me in the first interview, in the second they started off by asking how my son was and were very pleased to hear about his progress:) They may or may not ask, however at no point did I get the slightest impression that having a family would affect their decision whatsoever. They know that applicants to this particular program have a little more "life" in them and aren't straight out of high school, so I imagine they interview plenty of applicants with spouses and families. The interview really feels like a "getting to know you" conversation:)

@jjim1228 when your status changed to decision made did it say background consent form required?
