I decided to start a thread:idea: to find out if there's anyone who's applied or plans to apply to Georgia Stat University's Spring 2011 program. I have already sent out my application package in the middle of August. I know that we won't start hearing anything until October, but I figured it would help reduce the pressure of the wait for us to have discussions about it here.
Hope to hear from GSU applicants soon; and if there are former/current BLSON students on here that can give us some advice and helpful words it would greatly be appreciated.
hi everyone, i am so relieved for finding this site. i also applied for ace in gsu for spring 2011. i am an international student with a pharmacy degree. i have a gpa of 4.0 and today i received my teas score 81.3%. at first i was happy to see the score but after reading all the blogs i was really worried about my score. anyway i dont have any pption now i already poated the score to gsu. lets see what will happen. i have a question, is everyone accepted into gsu as a degree seeking student and got ur ids? i havent been accepted and when i call them they were saying there is nothing to worry it will be done. i will be happy if someone replies.
Thanks for the reply SweetPei. Does anyone know exactly which classes make up the "program gpa"?
I already had my Bachelor's degree in business prior to going to GSU and took the following classes at GSU in order to apply to the nursing program:
Bio 1103 & 1104 (Received A's in both)
Anatomy 1 & II (Received A's in both)
MicroBiology (Received A+)
Abnormal Psychology (Received A+)
HHS 3000 (A)
Nursing 2010 (A+)
I feel very confident with these grades obviously and worked super hard to get them; however, the program GPA must consist of more than just these classes and I need to go back to my transcripts to figure out my program GPA.
Any help would be appreciated. Oh..my TEAS was a 92%...which I was super excited about because I studied for over 2 weeks and was so anxious! I'm hoping I get in because I only applied to the ACE program at GSU...(probably not a wise idea)
@Sidd, if you did have a gpa of 4.0, I would have bet u would have been in the first batch of accepted applicants, but I don't know now. Your teas score is extremely good so that woulf definitely hold some weight for you.
@Mushka, if you go back to post #3 of this thread and click the link that bdanders posted, you will be able to see that info. I think it has to do with overall program gpa and sciences.
@hsfutrnurse, I think you just have to be accepted. Both gpc & gsu are part of the university system of georgia, so you won't have any transfer issue. I won't recommend what you should do because I don't know which of the two choices would benefit you most.

congrats! those are amazing grades. I was wondering how did you like all the science classes at gsu? because i want to go to gpc because its closer to my house and i dont want to take the risk of getting bad grades. were there any pre-requisites before taking A&P, bio or micro?
Thanks guys. I definitely don't feel 100% confident, even with my grades.
@ Highschoolfuturenurs.....I loved A&P I and II at GSU; however, I think it was because of my professor. If you do take it at GSU, take Kyla Ross...she is an AMAZING teacher! Very challenging..but you will learn SO much! I didn't love BIO I and II and would have rather taken Chemistry; however, GSU doesn't offer Chemistry I and II after 5pm...so I couldn't take it. Micro was terrible as well. I suggest taking whatever pre-req's you can at GPC since it is so close to your house.
The waiting is really killing me...wish we could find out already.
hello everyone . . . . i turned un my application last week for the traditional program, and i have no idea on how i fair compared to the other applicants. i have a 3.79 program gpa, and i scored an 88 on my teas. considering people are scoring 90's on their teas, and i have little background in the healthcare field, i don't think my chances are good. i'm still hoping for the best though. best of luck to everyone!!!
