I didn't apply to the early admission, but I did just apply for regular admission into the Summer 2011 BSN program. I am really curious about the applicant pool. I read that the mean GPA was 3.5 and the score for the ACT English portion was 23-27. My GPS is a 3.5 and I received a 29 on the English portion of the ACTs, however I have very little volunteer experience which I have also heard is key. I am 32, working and taking classes full time; leaves very little time for community service. Has anyone else heard anything about the number of applicant the Athens campus receives or how competitive the application process really is?

I believe acceptance, or adversely denial letters will be sent sometime in April. I wish I had an idea of where I stand in the ranking. I wouldn't be as nervous as I am if my NLN score was better... Generally, I do not like to wish time away, however in this instance, I sure do wish it was April already!!

Does anyone, who is already in the ADN program at Athens Tech have any information to provide a (hopeful) future nursing student? Are you happy with the program and the instructors? Any tips that you have learned that might be helpful? My NLN composite percentile was much lower than I had anticipated due to the math portion. I believe I must have made an error when transferring my answers to the bubble sheet. I just took algebra and received an A in the class. So this error brought my score down to the 89th percentile, which is quite disappointing! My GPA is a 3.6. Does anyone have any idea if my score and GPA are competitive enough? I am now playing the waiting game and feel like my whole life is on hold, as I am sure that most nursing school applicants are feeling! Any info would be must appreciated!
