North Georgia College & State University Fall 2011

Published

Hey all! I am currently in the application process for Fall 2011 at North GA College & State. I was wondering if anyone out there can offer me come comfort on the application process and acceptance statistics? I am very impressed with the college so far and will be highly disappointed if I'm not granted acceptance, but I'm going crazy with all of the waiting games (I've applied to several schools).

Well, my story is also as scary as yours when I got a call in the middle of Feb. from Kathie ( I guessed) to tell me that I applied for the wrong program :eek: She said I should have applied to ASN instead of BSN because I just completed my prerequisites , not yet a RN !!!! I was about to cry out on the phone when I was informed of my silly mistake !!! But everything is ok now. Phew

Haha Well I'm glad yours worked out well! Did you get accepted?

yes, I got accepted and really dont know why :o because my GPA and TEAS are slow, I thought I did not have any chance. When I opened the letter, I read it 1000 times because I did not believe in my eyes. But, it's true, I got my acceptance letter.

Congrats!! What was your GPA and TEAS? Was it your first time applying? And which location too? Sorry for all the questions! I'm just trying to figure out why I wasn't accepted :confused:

Thank you. I applied for the 1st time with GPA 3.55, TEAS 75, Dahlonega campus. I did not intend to commute that far, up to Dahlonega. So, now I am stuck in looking for an accommodation close to school area.

Yeah commuting isn't fun but at least there isn't much traffic going up to Dahlonega!

The only thing I can think of for why I wasn't accepted is the fact that I retook 3 classes that I originally had 2 C's and a B in... I guess that was weighted against me because without those calculated in my GPA I have a 3.6, but with those it's around a 3.3. Most nursing schools only calculate the highest grade only when evaluating, so I figured I would be okay, but I guess North Georgia calculates both in. Stinks for me!

And if changing campuses so late hurt me as well, then that's a double whammy against me. But I'm hoping that didn't hurt my chances, because the lady I spoke with made it seem like it wasn't a big deal because they hadn't gotten to my application yet.

I got a C on AP 1, then B on retaken class. I was also worried over my GPA as I realized they took my 1st degree into consideration. I was scared because I got low GPA for my 1st bachelor degree, which dates back to 10 years ago.

I didn't get in either. I really didnt think I would. I only had a 2.89 and a 89 TEAS

Well I'm surprised your TEAS score didn't balance out the GPA some, an 89 is INCREDIBLE! But they consider the GPA a little more than I hoped too, because even with a 3.5 I wasn't accepted..

I might be rethinking my career aspriations

Some career's aren't for everyone but if you haven't been trying long I wouldn't give up just yet! The fact that you got an 89 on the TEAS shows that you're VERY smart! I had to retake a few classes to bring my GPA up, maybe you should try that?

What makes you think you should rethink careers? And how many nursing schools did you apply to?

I emailed ******** advising of my intent to enroll in the program, but did not receive a reply or other form of confirmation. Did anyone else get a reply?
