MCG BSN Program:

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.

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!!!

Is there anyone starting MCG nursing school Summer 2009 in Augusta?

Yep! Ive been accepted for summer 09! I think a few of the girls on here were accepted and will start this summer as well!

I was accepted for summer 2009 too!! Congrats to everyone who got accepted! :)

Congrats to you too lbnurse!! Looks like we'll be seeing eachother this summer!!!

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!

Thanks, & congrats to you as well!!! I know you are just as excited!! I think we all know within ourselves what is the right thing to do. At least you seem to have been in a position where you could move.

I never applied to the Augusta campus either, only Athens. I had even checked no to the box on whether I would choose it if I didn't get my preferred choice. So I was a bit shocked back in Feb. when I first got my acceptance letter to Augusta, & then after I said no, still getting TWO phonecalls! I think it's great though, that they do still give the option, & it really lifted my spirits by them calling me b/c the lady was so nice & was just wanting to offer it to me so I could start this yr. rather than have to reapply. She also made me feel so confident by telling me that they wanted students like me, & that I was indeed qualified for Athens, but it just got full quickly as it was highly competitive this yr. I just thank God that I stuck to my gut instinct, because He had something better in store for me! I truly did get very fortunate!

Best wishes to ya, & enjoy what is left of our break! :)
