Thanks. If you don't mind. What was your GPA like and that kind of thing. I have a 3.1 but I also have shadowing experience. Some say that will help but some people aren't sure. I'm just so scared.

I had a 3.55 and a fair amount of volunteer experience. I think the shadowing experience will help you stand out from those who are going into this w/o any exposure. If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a message. I hope everything works out!!

Congrats!!! I know you must be so relieved! I guess you were one of the lucky ones who got an early offer! What campus did you get in to?

I still haven't heard anything yet. I really hope they will make the rest of the decisions soon!

Thank you!!!I am definitely relieved! I was accepted to MCG-Augusta, which was my first choice. Which campus did you apply for?

I only applied to the Athens campus. The Augusta campus wasn't an option for me. But they take less people at the Athens campus so im really worried about that. I still havent heard a thing, im begining to think ill never hear from them!!

I applied to the Athens campus but I also said I would take the Augusta campus if it were offered. I also haven't heard anything and I called this morning to ask if there were some problem and the lady told me that the committee was meeting again today and all this week and the decisions would be mailed out mid-Feb. I'm just getting a little worried.

I just don't see why they are waiting so long. Its not that hard to send out a letter! Im worried too though. My GPA isnt the best and im scared its not competitive enough.

I was told the same thing when I called. The Athens class size is much smaller (25-30) than in Augusta (about 80 people) I lived with a girl who went to the Athens campus.....after seeing some of the differences, I decided that Augusta was Ta better fit for me. Feb.10th is when most of my friends started receiving letters last year.

I had a competitive GPA but they forgave quite a few W's. Also, I was not very involved at schools, besides my volunteer work at the hospital/hospice/etc. That's all to say.... not everyone they select are stellar students. For MCG, grades are not everything which is why the essay is so important. I know its hard to not be worried but just give it a week or so......

Well thats good cause im counting on my essay! I worked very hard on it and I hope it will help set me apart. Ive been through a lot with my education and family and im hoping they will see my determination to succeed and get a degree! I also have some volunteer exp, but not as much as I would have liked. So thats why im so nervous. But I just keep thinking if its meant to be then ill get in and if not it's just not the right time.
