8. What does it take to be accepted to GBCC?

   WishfulThinking9 replied to Betty09's topic in New Hampshire

   I'm in the same boat!! I emailed GBCC to see what their thoughts were, but still waiting to hear back. I'll let you know what I hear. It's discouraging knowing I already have another degree from a University and cannot get into a community college...

    Crookededna, did you receive your letter from GBCC in the mail? I'm worried now since I've taken A&P I, and II as well as Micro. But I do have degree from UNH. My NLN scores were pretty good, but now I'm not sure what's good enough.
