Oh Congrats gadawg!!!! Hoooooorah!!

gsc2mcghopeful, I have decided to accept the Augusta camus even though it is 119 mile commute. For one, I have no idea if I am #1 on the alternate list or # 500. And I can't imagine losing my oppurtunity because no one dropped their acceptance. I decided to suck it up, have a REALLY hard two years, but then have bliss for the next 50 or so years in the future. I am very interested in carpooling!!!! If you decide to join us in Augusta please let me know if you would be interested in a carpool at all. Again, Congrats!!!

MANY CONGRATS TO YOU GADAWG88!!!! I'm sure you are so relieved! I know the feeling.

afallgaier,

Sorry for the delayed response; my husband & I just got back from out of town! We left for V-day & to try to get away & clear our heads & figure out what to do about school!! I am as scared as you are, & I have the same questions!! I mean, what are the chances that people reject their positions, & if they do, what are the odds that I will even get in next year?!?!.... It's so funny that you brought up carpooling because I laughed & told my hubby the other night that you & I should carpool if we both decide to go to Augusta!!! So I am glad that you brought it up & I am VERY interested if I decide to go there. I am going to just really pray about it over the next few days & hope that God will give me a clear answer before I decide anything final. I am also going to call the office & see if they will answer some questions for me. I am wondering if they have a certain method for how they choose off the alternate list if someone declines, what the schedule is like to see if it is feasible for me to drive, etc. I will for sure let you know something soon though!!! Thanks for considering it!

kh0828, Have you heard anything from MCG yet? Even though I got into NGCSU, I've still been checking my status and it has yet to change.

kh0828 · Feb 18, 2009

Hey sorry I haven't been on here in a few days. Congratulations on getting into NGCSU!! Thats great that you got your first choice! And congrats to the rest of you who got into MCG!! I hope everything works out for yall!! But no I still have not heard anything nor has my status changed. Im so frustrated. I am actually just thinking about staying here and finishing. I have to decide now so I can keep my apartment, so I think im just going to resign and stay here. I think I will be happier here anyways. But im just not sure. Hopefully I will know something soon.

Thanks.

I haven't heard but I'm not in a situation where I need to know anything right now. I really hope it changes soon for you. I have heard of many other girls who haven't heard back yet either. Maybe things will turn around.

Thanks kh0828! I appreciate all the thoughts & prayers! Although--I still do not know what I am going to do since I got accepted to the Augusta campus!! I have still been praying for those of you who haven't heard. I have some friends whose status hasn't changed yet as well. Maybe it will work out....all the best!!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that after much praying & thinking, I decided that I just simply could not go to Augusta as I am a wife & homeowner, & commuting is simply not an option (almost 3 hrs. everyday), So, I sent in my letter asking to be kept on the alternate list for Athens for the slim chance that I might get in if one of the 25-30 spots happened to open up. I got 2 phone calls offering me a chance to still accept Augusta b/c it was "highly unlikely" that I would get in Athens @ this point, even though I was assured I was qualified for it. I still said no, & just left it in God's hands prepared to reapply in October, as well as to other nursing programs since this was the 1st one I had applied to. Well, lo & behold, I just got a phone call Tuesday, & I AM IN AT ATHENS MCG CAMPUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!! I am just in shock now, & thankful! I say this only to give God the glory b/c it truly is a miracle that I got in after all that......

Well wishes to all!

Congratulations!!! I think that is wonderful that you got in! I can see why you didn't accept augusta! I found out that I was offered the same thing you were, a guaranteed spot in Augusta and wait list in Athens. I was shocked b/c I only applied to Athens, but they called me and wanted to offer it to me anyways. I ended up accepting it after talking with my family so we packed up and just moved this weekend to Augusta! Im happy with my decision and I believe it was the right one! They also told me that an athens opening was very unlikely as well. Looks like you really lucked out! :yeah:
