How is acceptance determined?
Admission decisions are based on a COMPETITIVE process using a GPA calculation of your cumulative coursework (see admissions criteria), and your TEAS test scores. Top candidates will then be invited to interview, during which personal qualities important to nursing will be considered. Longevity at Kennesaw State University may also be taken into consideration.
No decisions will be made until after the final date of application deadline and applicants will be notified by mail of their School of Nursing acceptance.
