MCG + UGA?

Hi CC,

This is what I know. There is no agreement with UGA so far as I know. I graduated from UGA, but took all me nursing pre-reqs at Athens Tech. I have applied for early admission (deadline was Oct. 15). There is no "test" like the TEAS or NLN required at MCG. They look at your SAT verbal, GPA, references, work/health-care history, community service and essay. Like all nursing programs, it is very competitive, so I have no clue how I stack up. The net application deadine is December 1. The counselor told me that early applicants who are accepted hear sometime before Christmas. If you don't make it, your app rolls over into the December bunch. Those folks know sometime maybe February or so. If you don't make it, you have to start over and try to figure out where you need to improve to be more competitive.

Hope this helps a little. Good luck to you!

Thanks for mentioning what they look out for. You post is a huge help! I wish you the best applying to MCG. I'm guessing you applied for the Athen's campus as well. Good luck!

Hey you two!

I'm currently a student at MCG nursing, and the athens and augusta campus has no affiliation with UGA. Like chabco said, they look at SATs, GPA, and community service/volunteering/experience

I hope you both get in! I know some people got acceptance letters in december and it got me really worried, but keep hope! they send out letters until the end of feb!

best of luck!

I applied early admissions for the BSN 2011 and I received my acceptance letter in the mail today for the Athens Campus! So maybe you will hear sometime soon. Good Luck!

Congratulations! So far I haven't heard anything. I know the competition is really fierce. When I check on my application status, it says that it is "ready for review." It has said that same thing for awhile now. If you don't mind me asking, what does yours say? Now that you have heard, it really makes me nervous! Again, congratulations. I know you must really be excited.

godawgssmh, it will turn into "decision made" and they ONLY notify you by mail. I tried calling to see if I got in after it was posted and they only reveal acceptance/denial through mail. Bummer! but oh well! good luck! and dont be so nervous! the letters will keep rolling out til early next year!

oh, and fyi:

most people who hear early get into the Athens campus, if you hear later it >usually

Thanks so much for the info and the support. I am trying not to be nervous and just take it one day at a time, but it's hard when people begin to hear and you don't. Like you said, though, there is still time to hear good news!

Yeah my status says "Decision made by Admissions Committee; notification is by mail". And yeah, if you hear later than december it does usually mean that you have been accepted to the augusta campus or you can choose a waiting list for athens.

oh yeah! i went to Gainesville my sophomore year and this girl in my class got her letter in the beginning of December! So my heart definitely sunk some! But there's still hope :) I didnt my letter til the middle of Feb and I think some even came out later than that! Just keep your head up and pray hard!

Thank you godawgsmh! I am very excited. I hope you all get accepted!!

Hi everyone!

I just got my acceptance letter for the Athens campus in the mail today!

I got waitlisted last year, so this is like a dream come true. :] I hope everybody else gets the letters they are waiting for, I know it sucks waiting. I didn't find out that I wasn't going to get in last year until classes started and I never got a call.

Good luck to all y'all!
