I have applied for early admission to MCG's BSN program. Hopefully, there are more folks out there in my same situation, so maybe we can compare notes.
I have a BS from UGA (non-nursing) and have worked at Athens Regional for five years (while in college and after graduation - full time). I am finishing up my pre-reqs at Athens Tech now. My GPA is 3.5. I graduated from HS in 2002, and my SAT scores were not very good. Maybe a 480 verbal??? Who can remember that far back anyway?
I was wondering if anyone out there has any input on the criteria for admission. I know what MCG says, but the competition is stiff out there, and I know from talking to MCG students at the hospital that scores, etc. were much higher than published.
Hope there are fellow students like myself out there who would like to collaborate and support each other. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
There are samples of admission essays you can find on the internet (even nurses) so you can kinda get an idea of what some people write. For volunteer experience you do put the hours. I didn't retake any classes for the 4.0, I have just made A's since I started college.
Yeah, I did those things. I hate jinxes, but if I don't get in this time , I'm sure I'll get in next time . I'll have a year to step it up. I wasn't perfect, but I'm close to what they want overall, that is, if I am what they want overall. 501-508 tends to be the average national score for the verbal section, so your score is good. I don't know why they divided the math and science sections because that's where I get left behind a little. I'm hoping to get put on the waiting list if I don't get admitted, so... you should consider going to another college just in case, hehe . Godawgsmh, why don't you apply to the CNL online program since you have a BSN degree already? The pay is the same. You just go from BSN to MSN. Ooh, doesn't that sound nice? You get to jump right into a master's degree.
