Yeah, they won’t be able to submit anything until you have the links. GGC will send an email explaining how to send the school the necessary documents after you fill out an application which is really just basic information about you! You can still ask early, but just let them know they might have to wait until the application period opens to actually submit anything. I think GGC does this because it’s basically a form they have to fill out asking certain questions about you. That’s how 2 professors of my professors explained it to me. Hope that clarifies things!

GGC gives you a link that you send to them and they have to submit the letter that way.

Thank you! I know exactly how you feel, but your hard work will pay off! For the TEAS, give yourself at least 3 months to study for it. Know your strengths and weaknesses and do as many practice questions as you can, particularly for English and Math. For science and English, you’ll need to review the concepts outline in the TEAS study manual. The manual doesn’t help a bunch since it only gives you a brief overview, so I recommend you study other ways, too. The PocketPrep app is really good too. And of course, your old A&P notes. It’s really not that bad or scary, but you do need to prepare for it. And don’t be shy, if you have any questions later on, let me know. And good luck, too!

Orientation dates, where to order uniforms, drug/background test information, estimated costs, BLS certificate requirement, and supplies we need to buy, like a stethoscope.

I got mine this morning!

CONGRATS! Pretty sure that 2029 is a typo LOL. And yeah, I got accepted. I already paid for my spot. Now I’m anxiously waiting for that information packet they’re supposed to send.

I got an email yesterday with my acceptance letter! Good luck to you too!!

Yeah, I agree, I feel like it might delay things a little. I still keep checking my email every hour though hoping I get something. And thanks! :)

Hey, just wanted to start a thread to see who else is applying for Fall 2020 and what your GPA/TEAS scores/other application stuff is like! I applied with a 3.2 overall, 4.0 science, 87 on the TEAS, and 108 volunteer hours.

Yes, I spoke with the nurse coordinator of my school's program already. But that was before I started thinking more and more about my options and "what if I don't get accepted." But I thought I'd ask on here for extra help! I may just have to go bug her again for more answers.

Hello everyone! Been lurking for a few weeks now and have run into a concern of my own that hopefully someone can give me some advice on! I am in the process of beginning to take my science prereqs (AP I, II, micro, statistics, and chemistry). I already am set to graduate with a different degree, but am returning to my college in the fall to begin pre-nursing classes. After taking the prereqs, I would be applying for a nursing program (BSN) starting in either Spring 2020 or Fall 2020. But here's my first concern: I already took Principles of Chemistry (for STEM majors) I during Spring 2013 and got a B and Chemistry II during Fall 2013 with a D. This was way back when I thought I wanted to be a Biology major. However, for the nursing program, my school has a requirement where science prereqs cannot be more than 6 years old. Another program I've been looking at require the science courses to be less than 5 years old. Another doesn't seem to have an expiration for Chem. My school also averages grades that have been repeated. So, option 1 is to to retake Principles of Chem 2, get an A and my school will average the A and the D. However, this option won't work if I don't get into my school since my second choice is the school that has a 5 year expiration date. My other option could be to take a sequence of Survey of Chemistry (for allied health majors) instead and let the old Chems to expire. However, even though it will expire, would it look bad to not even attempt to retake Principles of Chem and take Survey of Chem instead? I'm not sure how picky schools are with failed grades and attempts at retaking them. My second concern: Since my school (my first choice) wouldn't consider the old Chems as expired until 2020, the highest science GPA I could get would be a 3.3 with that D averaged in. I could also delay applying to my school for 1 semester. (I wouldn't delay re-taking chemistry, just delay the application). With it being expired, I at least have a chance at a 4.0 science GPA. My overall GPA would only be 3.0-3.3 max, so I'm really putting all my efforts in my science prereqs and other requriments, but with that D, I feel like I just don't have a chance. I know this is probably a really unique situation, but if anyone could provide me with some insight over what to do in this situation, I would be forever grateful! .
