[bglover4]

Hi, will anyone here be applying for the 2016 admissions for the CNL program at GRU in Augusta, GA?! If so could you share some of your career background/experience and stats! Also if some of you who are currently or have been in the program could give some input that would be awesome too!!

I applied at the very end of November and it took about 5 weeks from the time I submitted my application to be invited for an interview [January]. I had my interview the second week of January and was accepted around the second week of February! All together, I'd say it's about an 8-10 week process IF you get your application completed early [including all transcripts, recommendations, etc]. I know people that applied later [during or after January/February] and their admissions time took a bit longer.

The good thing about GRU, from what I can tell, they don't just look at GPA. Every little thing counts. I don't think my GPA was very competitive, BUT I did outstanding on my GRE, wrote a very heartfelt personal statement, and answered honestly in the application when it asked about academic obstacles I faced. I got a few bad grades during a very rough period of life and I explained that! I think I also reiterated it in my interview that my GPA didn't reflect my caliber as a student.

Hi sweetsadie

I'm currently working on my application for entrance into the program for Fall 2017. Like you, I received some bad grades during a rough period. Could you please give some advice on addressing that in the application? I guess I'm asking, how detailed were you, how did you handle addressing what happened?

Private messaging is unavailable to me otherwise I would have just pm'ed you. Thanks for any guidance you give!

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if anyone is even still in this group, but I'm looking to apply for the Fall 2017 CNL program at Augusta University (GRU). I take my GRE this Friday, Dec. 30th, and will submit the app as soon as I get the score. I'm wondering if you all know someone that got accepted last year having applied as late as I am. The deadline for submission is Feb 1.
