Apparently I'm not active enough on the site to send messages haha. Wanna shoot me an email at [email protected]?

I'll send you my number in a PM :)

Congrats! You made a good choice. And I feel ya, I have kids as well and GGC is a good school for "nontraditional" students. When I applied, the focus was on GPA (especially the science courses) and TEAS score. You'll have a while to study for the TEAS, so I'd recommend focusing on getting good grades in your pre-reqs. I had to bring my GPA up a good bit with those since I screwed around a lot the first time I attempted college, haha. But good scores in Micro and A&P go a long way. Do you work in healthcare currently? I think a letter of recommendation from a nurse or physician is good too :)

Hey there! I know you posted this several weeks ago, but I wanted to chime in since you haven't gotten any replies. I'm halfway through GGC's nursing program. I don't know personally about other schools, but I HIGHLY recommend GGC. We are a pretty new program, and small (we only admit 30 new students per spring/fall semester), but the program is amazing. I've heard horror stories about faculty and classmates at other schools. At GGC, you're in a very tight-knit cohort that sticks together for the whole program, and the faculty are all sooooo involved and passionate about helping their students. I can answer any questions if you want, but yeah. Love GGC!

Hey, my overall GPA is like 3.15 with a science GPA of 3.75. Got a 91.3% on the TEAS which I feel like is the only reason I got in.

I made a group on FB; you should be able to find it by searching "GGC Nursing Class of Spring 2019". It's a closed group so I think you just need to request to join or something.

Also got an email this afternoon! We should make a Facebook page for the fall 2017 class!

Should be this week, right? If someone gets an email or letter, post here please! I'm a nervous wreck.

Made an account just to join this thread! Haha. So the website says decisions will be mailed "the week of April 1st" but I've seen comments before that people found out via email instead. Either way I'm going crazy!
