Middle Georgia Applicants Fall 2014

Published

Okay, Lets get it started! Who has applied to Middle Georgia College for Fall 2014? If you don't mind me asking, what is your GPA and Hesi scores? My GPA is 3.8 and my Hesi score was 82 over all with an 80 in Reading and an 86 in math! Does anyone know what they base their decision on? More on GPA than Hesi? The wait is going to kill me! Is anyone already in the BSN program that can tell me how it is?

That is pretty confusing - maybe it's a system error? My schedule is up, and all classes are in Macon. Only one of three shows "Jones"...the others are TBA. Hope you gain some clarity.

Yeah I have two classes show the Jones building, the other two are TBA...I don't know I have BLS Wednesday so I'm not going to worry I can ask when I get there...

I emailed him today asking about it because tuition is due in a week and I want to have to wait to be reimbursed $800.

No, and I don't expect to hear anything until after the semester begins.

I thought he said around August 1st? I'm mostly hoping they won't bump from classes for that....he said they wouldn't, right?

Perhaps some of those professors should have gone? May I share with you my experience with Wesleyan College? I applied to five schools and got in to all five. I chose Wesleyan because of the small size, the professors backgrounds, and the technology. I received the full Presidential scholarship, and the Career Women's Network Scholarship on top of the pell grant and a plethora of loan options. I was a little hesitant to accept the offer as they have provisional status depending on the passing ratio of the 2015 cohort. However, I loved Wesleyan and was so proud of my achievement.

On the day of the orientation, I was late because I couldn't find the amphitheater. I also did not have my photograph. A faculty member was kind enough to escort me to the amphitheater. How about, Professor Kochera refused to shake my hand. From that point on, the email became insulting and curt. In one email, she questioned my committment to nursing because I was late with my picture and orientation and had to have a faculty member escort me to the amphitheater.

My email to her was long and equally abrasive. A meeting was scheduled by Ms. Sirena Fritz, the program director. Ms. Fritz, also from Macon State was wonderful and I really enjoyed meeting her. During that meeting I couldn't answer any question asked of me for Doctor Kochera's ranting and flailing of arms. At one point, she got so angry that she stormed out of the room and Ms. Fritz had to bring her back in. The ranting started again. After about on hour of this, I thanked them both for the opportunity and informed them that I had chosen another offer. When I went to shake Dr. Kochera's hand once again she folded her arms across her chest and scowled like a three year old child. I swear to God, I couldn't make this up if I tried. Get this, Doctor Kochera would have been my advisor. Now what chance do you think I would have had.

Three weeks after I left, I get an email from Ms. Fritz expressing a concern over the lack of attention I am giving to my to do list. I was stunned, I asked how she could not know that I wasn't coming back. I couldn't have been any clearer.

I had a friend who also was accepted into their program and turned it down. But she turned it down before orientation. Before I made my mind up, I was able to speak with a current student who shared with me that two other students had issues with this same professor and they don't want to come back, but they have no other choice. One is even considering changing her major.

To me, this would have been like a very bad marriage. You know, it came too easy. I only made an 80 on the HESI. That should have told me something. I am very content with where I am now. My school has a 100% NCLEX passing ratio and I did survey with about 50 physicians in the area and they all recommended this program. Giving the experience I had with Wesleyan, I surveyed former graduates about the program and the professors and some grunts, but overall, the professors got rave reviews and the student support centers are awsome.

The key point here is just make the grade. Pass those exams so that you get to choose rather than settle for whats left on the table.

Now a word about Wesleyan. It is a wonderful school with a stellar reputation and I believe in Sirena Fritz and what she is trying to build. I just think its going to take some work on the infrastructure.

I am sorry to read of your misfortune. It seems, however, that you have triumphed. Additionally, it appears that you have posted this to the incorrect thread....?

In orientation Mr. Stewart said that the business office would not bump anyone from their classes for not paying the SHIP fees. He instructed us to deduct the amount of the SHIP fee from the total amount of tuition due and only pay that amount. If you pay it and you already have insurance it will take a while to get your money back. He also said that the waiver period doesn't end until September 19th, so we have plenty of time to fill them out and submit them before the deadline. Hope this helps.

I would recommend going ahead and doing the RN program at MGSC. I'm in the program now going on to 2nd semester and it's been great. I've also been in the LPN program at CGTC (didn't finish bc of pregnancy)and I feel that it was more intense than the RN program. Just an opinion !!!

are you in asn or bsn program?
