Yeah, I asked specifically, because that's what I thought too. She said April 1 for interview letters.

It seems like all of the other boards for previous Fall Semesters at KSU got their interview letters around the first of March. I'm sure Fran probably said April 1st to give themselves plenty of time and so they wouldn't be bombarded if they didn't get the letters out by a certain date.

I really hope so! I just called and asked Sandi and she said the same thing "april 1st for interview letters, a few weeks after that we will hold interviews, and a few weeks after that we will have our decisions made..." I just know that some scholarships have due dates the first week of May and you have to be accepted to a program before you can apply so I'm not too happy it's gonna be so long before we know. I'm so nervous about my acceptance chances that I retook the TEAS, I did better and got a 93.3 but I had miscalculated my GPA bc I thought my biochem grade would count but they're taking my ochem grade instead.... I'm going to need anti-anxiety meds before this whole process is over!!!

I just want to know. I'm a planner by nature and I hate not being able to plan for the next semester.

Wow, that does seem really late. I was hoping to hear something either way in early March. I will definitely be on the edge of my seat until April! aahhh

I also applied for Kennesaw States nursing program to start in Fall 2011. My grades are good, however I did not do well on the TEAS test. I have never been a good standardized test taker. :confused:

My cumulative GPA is a 3.76

5 Math/Science GPA is a 4.0

7 out of 12 prerequisite GPA is a 4.0

TEAS V test- 76%

Good luck to everyone applying

FingersXcrossedX-

A girl posted in 2009 that she got a 78 on the TEAS and had a 3.56 gpa with mostly A's in pre-reqs and she got an interview for the regular BSN program at KSU- I'm pretty sure she took the TEAS 4 which supposedly has an average of about 10 points higher than the TEAS V (so her 78, is like taking the TEAS V and getting an 68 as I understand it), so don't lose hope just yet. She was a KSU student though and said later that she thought she received a little preference because of that...

That is encouraging. I am also a KSU student, so maybe it will help a little. I am just hoping that the 3 GPA scores override it a little bit since they would be 60% and teas would be 20%. Thanks for the information!:)

FingersXCrossedX, I'm also a current KSU student. Have you finished all your pre-reqs? I'm taking organic chemistry right now. That's my last one and the rest of my gen ed stuff. I'm hoping being a current KSU student will help as well.

FingersXcrossedX · Feb 18, 2011

I am also in Organic Chem. right now and it is my last prerequisite.

how miserable is ochem at KSU? I took it at UGA my sophomore year and thought it would be the death of me! They use it as a "weeding out" class here for all the pre-meds- after the first test, like 30% of the students drop the class, then after the second test you're only left with maaaayyyyyybe half of the students you started with! I'm worried that grade might screw me-its my only C+ ever.... I was really hoping they would take my biochem grade instead bc its an A, but Sandi said they usually only look at the 4 hour science classes that have a lab-at UGA, there's no biochem lab.... I've got one extra chemistry credit but its literally one of the lowest level chem classes you can take, but it did have a lab.... anybody think they may look at that instead? it would transfer to KSU as CHEM1151 with lab....
