Kennesaw State University BSN Fall 2017

Published

Hey you guys! I didn't see a thread for those applying to KSU for the Fall 2017 BSN Cohort, so I decided to make one. The deadline for applications is getting ready to come up and then decisions will hopefully be made shortly after, so I figured we could all be nervous and wait together :). On the other threads, people share their stats so I'll post mine below!

Overall GPA: 3.92

Best 5/7 Math & Science Grades: All A's

Best 7/12 Total Prerequisite Grade: All A's

TEAS Score: 92

Looking forward to interacting with you guys and distracting myself from classwork

I thought emorys financial aid gave a good portion of the tuition if you were needs based?

Oh, the Mexican food!! We haven't found anything that comes even close here, sadly. Not a week goes by that he doesn't talk about going back. Sorry about your power. I hope it comes back and I really hope the emails start rolling in soon.

Me too! I've checked it like 927 times already today. I've even convinced myself that the person who posted that they got their email already was from a different school and on the wrong board. Anything to try and calm myself!

Hahahaha Kmari you are too funny!!! I'm going to go with your line of thinking.

I found one place in Smyrna that is actually pretty legit. They even have sopapillas sometimes, which I loooove. I totally forget the name though haha when I think of it I'll let you know. I don't recall where you live, but it might be worth a mini road trip into Atlanta if you get a serious craving!

If you are need based, they offer grants, work study and loans (all of which I received as well since my cost of attending is more than my EFC). I believe that their line of thinking is that whatever they don't give you, you can get in private loans. I'd really encourage you to visit some of the recent emory nursing forums or get in contact with the financial aid office if you want to see what kind of money they'll be offering. I can only speak from my experience and the others I've talked to when I say don't expect more than half the tuition (and that is being extremely generous as I have not heard of anyone getting that much). You could also lower your cost of attending by applying for need-based scholarships that are not through the school if you are eligible for those! Outside scholarships seem like the ticket to making the out of pocket cost reasonable!

Uh, yes! Let me know as soon as you remember! The craving is unending! I would love a breakfast burrito...or some Chile rellenos...did I say breakfast burrito? I'm in Smyrna. No Tex Mex please!

Okay so it's called Taco T. It's a hole in the wall so I'm not sure how extensive the menu is but I recall it being pretty basic!!! Walk in, up to the register, order your food and then grab a spot inside or outside. I think they even have a drive thru if I'm remembering correctly.

Oh, yes, I know where that place is located. I've only ordered an horchata from there but will try some more of their offerings soon. Thanks! I want to email KSU to confirm that they've started with the emails but would hate to be a bug...I'll let you know what they say!

I wanted to do that too but decided against it since I had just emailed them Monday. It makes me paranoid they have the wrong email!

Has anyone else heard back?

This is the response I got from the nursing department just now. "We are working on getting those emails out in the next few days"
