Gordon obviously gives preferential treatment to Gordon students because they have soooo many applicants (I was told this by my nursing advisor). You must complete 12 credit hours @ Gordon to be considered a gordon student. For example, a "gordon student" may have lower stats than a transfer student but is accepted over the transfer. I have been very pleased so far... Once I had completed 12 hours there I was accepted into the program. Hope this helps! Good luck

I start the nursing program at Gordon State in Fall/2013. It is VERY competitive, especially for transfers. I was finally accepted on the third try. I had a 3.34 GPA, 67 on the TEAS V and a 72 on the crititical thinking test. Good luck, Gordon is a fantastic school and have been very pleased thus far!

Congrats to everyone that got in!!! For the ones that did not get in or were waitlisted, dont give up! I was accepted on my third try.

Recieved my ACCEPTANCE letter today!!! I guess the third time was the charm!

I was told decision letters would be mailed out by April 30th... Past experience, they wait until the LAST minute to mail them out! I will be shocked if they come before the 30th. Also, for the last 2 semesters acceptance letters come in an envelope with a see through window, denial letters have your name typed on the envelope. Dont know if it will be different this time??? The waiting is killing me!!!!

Hello all... This is my 3rd time applying. I am hoping this one will be the charm. I made a 67 on the TEAS and a 70 on the critical thinking test and my GPA is 3.33 and I am also being counted as a Gordon student not a transfer. It is very competitive! I wish you all luck. Did anyone else attend the class "How to make the most of nursing school" at Gordon???

Congratulations to all that got in!!! Second time around applying and still did not get in, I am getting extremely frustrated...

@ cassandra13 when is your test scheduled???

shabowen628... Welcome to the thread! I applied last semester and obviosly didn't get in. The critial thinking test is 40 questions and you have 40 minutes to complete. The material is nothing academically related, the questions are all over the board... What were your stats ??? TEAS score, GPA, core completed etc...???

Got my critical thinking test date... Feb. 17th @ 1:00pm

Yes once you are accepted you have to "accept" your spot (RSVP) VERY IMPORTANT... If you don't, you are bumped off the list which will free up a spot for the people who got wait listed...

MedicalMinded, You have got alot going for you... You are a student @ Gordon (they get put before the transfers) and you are a CNA already (you are awarded extra points for that) Hopefully we will all get in!!!

No I did not retake classes... My GPA was low because of 2 F's from 14 years ago... I just continued to take my core classes and that eventually brought it up. I totally bombed the critical thinking test last time. I made a 62, I ran out of time and just had to mark answers... Time is your worst enemy on that test, you have 40 questions and 40 minutes. BTW if you retake classes, the nursing dept does NOT take the higher of the two grades they take an average. For example if you made a D and then a B in A&P, the will count that as a C. Also I was not counted as a Gordon student last semester, I think that played a part in the decision. This is my second sememster at Gordon.

You will get a letter stating the day and time of your critical thinking test... You will have to ask the nursing dept how many groups they have scheduled. They don't give this information in the letter. I applied last semester but obviously didn't get in! I hope I have a better chance this time!!! My GPA went from 2.5 to 3.5 and I will be done with my core after spring sememster!

Has everyone finished their core classes????
