Hey Acidic, digging through this forum led me to your thread. Not sure if you'll even get this but I also want to just root for you. I'm in a similar situation where I flopped my freshman year for a 2.48, (now a sophomore and focused!). I panicked thinking that I was never getting into the health care field but you and I both seem to have WOKEN UP, finally. It's never too late, though. I'm hoping to make it to either Emory, MCG, or GSU. I decided to not take anything BUT one of those three schools. My mom isn't necessarily too thrilled of her son going into nursing after all the negativity she's heard about the field. However, I want to (respectfully) prove her wrong and beyond. I digress. Anyway, who knows, perhaps we'll cross paths at MCG. I've heard crazier things (specially in health care). Good luck to you and STAY HUNGRY. One thing I did notice is that no one ever told you be happy. Any form of rejection, fails, and shortcomings are TEMPORARY. Be happy that you still have chances and be happy while going through school and career(s).. which goes to all of us. Don't wait to retire to enjoy life like every disgruntled person who work for money. Work for the people. When you get up there, pay it forward. I'll see you at the top. CC

Did the students in the program ever mention the quality of the program? Student/teacher relationships? For example I heard the GSU Nursing program is great for how teachers put a lot of positive effort towards their students. But since you're applying, you must have heard good things right?

Thanks for mentioning what they look out for. You post is a huge help! I wish you the best applying to MCG. I'm guessing you applied for the Athen's campus as well. Good luck! CC

First of all, I just want to point out how appreciative I am of this community and how helpful it has been. Thanks! I was hoping to get answers from anyone who have experience or knowledge about the Medical College of Georgia Nursing program at the Athens campus. are the MCG students also UGA students? Do they have access to the UGA campus like regular students? Or are they completely separate concerning student privileges. Also, I was wondering what test the MCG traditional BSN program requires to apply. I've seen the NET mentioned in other thread but I don't see it on the MCG SON website anywhere. I appreciate all replies! Thanks again. CC
