University of West Georgia

Published

I applied to the University of West Georgia, and will not hear anyting until April. I am looking for people who have also applied to UWG and are waiting to hear. I thought we could form a support group on here and hold each other up during this time of playing the waiting game!

Anybody knows when are they suppose to be sending the writing invitations?

@SandraA.,would that be an indication that the applicant is under program consideration?

I just got the email inviting me to the writing session. The said that due to the large numbers of transfer students ALL transfer students were going to be invited, but it doesn't mean you qualify for the program, they did not have time to go through all the transcripts from the transfer students. So make sure you check you UWG email!

Hi guys, I also have applied for Summer 2013 for University of West GA. I went to the writing session at the Newnan campus today. It was not bad at all for those who have not done it yet. It is not an examination and not supposed to be used for eligibility for the BSN program. I guess the remaining question is.... then what is it used for?

I applied for Summer 2013 also and when I went to the writing assessment she said that the school was considering adding an essay to their admission requirements. We are basically the "beta" group for the writing portion so participation is mandatory, but it is not "graded".

Does anyone know how many students they accept at Newnan each year? I'm a transfer student and I have a 3.0 math/science gpa and a 3.47 overall gpa. I am nervous because at the writing assessment she said they had roughly 400 people apply.

Thanks!! Do you know if they look at the courses (I.e. a in a&p vs a in English) in addition to overall gpa? Also, do you know if they look at those who have finished most of core? i am a transfer student so I don't have much information on the process and guidelines. Any info will help! Thanks....I'm seriously stressing!

I am a transfer student as well currently in my last semester at Atlanta Metropolitan State College. They look at your overall/cumulative GPA. All you CORE classes need to be complete by the end of this SPRING semester if you are planing to attend this summer 2013 semester. UWG is having a transfer student preview day on 3/1/13 @9am. Maybe you should go! Hope this info helps!
