MCG BSN Program:

gadawg88 · Jan 6, 2009

I have also applied to this program in October. I haven't received anything either. I have also sent in my second transcript because they want it if you finish a semester before a decision has been made. I had two friends that applied at the same time. One got a letter a week before Thanksgiving telling her she didn't get in. The other just got her acceptance letter Jan. 1. I will let you know when I hear something.

So...I have been checking the online app status religiously...today it was been changed to " Decision Made By Admissions Committee; notification by mail". i am FREAKING OUT!!! I called the admissions office to make sure that my (updated) transcript from the fall semester were considered(there was a mix up). The lady told me that they were not but that it would not have changed their decision. She made it so much worse. Hopefully, they are not sending out the rejection letters first.....

Well, mine still doesn't say anything at all. I wish you the best of luck. The girl I know that got it had her status changed one day and her letter was in the mail 2 days later. Maybe it will come very soon. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Thanks! Hopefully, I will receive good news. I really don't want to take the TEAS on Friday. haha.The time frame is throwing me off. I am trying to stay positive but the fact that the website says decisions are made in a Feb. has me down. Question: Did both of your friends have their statuses updated or just the one who was accepted?

gadawg88 · Jan 21, 2009

The TEAS is a really good test. I've taken it twice and scored really well both times. I don't know about the one who didn't get in. I didn't ask details because she was pretty upset about it all. The one who got in had her status change on the internet on a Tuesday and she got her letter on Thursday. It should be coming really soon for you. I'm getting pretty excited myself but frustrated at the same time because when I applied in October, they told me I should receive some kind of decision in mid- December. Then when I didn't get it they told me to send another transcript and I would find out soon after that. I sent it in and a different lady told me I wouldn't know until the comittee met or mid-February. At this point, I'll take anything.

I hope the TEAS test isn't too bad. The NET looks wayy worse. Well..It sounds like you had a similar experience as I did with priority admission. It took a month after everything was there for them to find my letters/transcripts and enter them into the system. It seemed like each time I called.. something that was there before and ''being scanned and processed'' was now missing. I really don't think I was ever considered for priority due to the lack of organization.It sounds like you may be in that same boat. Everyone in the admissions office tells you different things..I was told that ONLY accepted applicants were notified...and that everyone else would be looked at with the reg. applicants (no one would be rejected at that time)... But then your friend received bad news??! Honestly, I think the people in admissions are clueless. Do you know the GPA of the girl who was accepted? I am guessing it was highly respected since she was accepted...

gadawg88 · Jan 22, 2009

I don't know her GPA. I know she was a good student maybe not straight A's but she probably had at least a 3.0. I'm just getting so worried because I haven't heard anything at all. I guess at this point I just have to be patient with it all. Are you applying to any other schools?

gagirl08 · Jan 22, 2009

I called the admissions office again today...hoping that they would tell me something new. I was told that I was 1 of 5 decisions made this week and that the letters had already been sent out. The girl told me that they are meeting again next week but those letters will not be sent out until the 2nd week of Feb. (who knows if there is any truth to that- they tell you so many different things!) Its hard to remain optimistic with those small numbers and knowing that most people receive letters in Feb. So far, I have only applied to MCG and Emory. If I dont get good news, I will be applying to everywhere else in Georgia.haha. Where else have you applied?..I wouldn't worry quite yet.... technically they shouldn't have made decisions yet...

gadawg88 · Jan 22, 2009

Well, I have already applied to NGCSU and that is the school I really want to go to. I am also applying to Athens Tech. If I decide to, I will apply to Georgia Baptist College.

gagirl08 · Jan 26, 2009

I did....I received my letter of acceptance on Friday!
