Georgia Highlands College Spring 2011

Published

Hello! I am an applicant for the nursing program at Georgia Highlands College for Spring 2011. I was just wondering if there was anyone else on here that is hoping to be accepted to the college as well. Does anyone know the typical schedule, cost, etc.? What were the average scores on the nursing worksheets that were accepted last spring and for this coming Fall 2010 semester?

Yay! My science courses have officially transferred in! Now I just have to get my application to Georgia Highlands College. Do you guys think they accept applications in person. It is soo late I am almost scared to mail it in!

I overnighted mine, plus that way you can get confirmation that they received it. Good luck! When is the deadline?

Hmm...I never would have thought of that! Thanks! The deadline is September 15th!

Of course, now I am waiting to figure out whether or not I have an appropriate humanities course. I have taken so many Spanish courses, which are listed as humanities courses in the catalog, but aren't listed on the worksheet. Crossing my fingers yet again! I have taken a music course, but still waiting to see if it will transfer in.

How are you liking the program???

I really appreciate all of your help! =)

Well we had our first test today, over 23 chapters of material.

It isn't hard (IMO), but it's A LOT of stuff.

And our second test is only a week away! It's definitely the most work I've ever put into anything in my life, but I know it will be worth it!!

Hope everything works out with your humanities courses. :)

Thanks! I might need the luck!

I am sure that you did great on your exam! I think most on this site are wanting to become nurses so badly that they are able to work hard and retain information. Good luck to you in the program! Hopefully I will be attending GHC soon!

I'm applying for spring 2011 at GHC..anyone have ideas of worksheet scores that would make the cut ? Assumeing I did mine correctly mine should be an 1170 or so

I am glad to find another person wanting to attend GHC. I was told that the average scores accepted for last spring were in the 847-1227 range. I looked at the thread for Fall 2010, it looks like students applying with a scores in the 1000’s range and up got in. I might call and ask them how they rank all the applicants scores…I am nervous. I have taken all the pre-requisite courses but got B’s and C’s in the three science courses with A’s in all the rest of them. Does anyone know when we should hear if we are in or not? Also, did you get a confirmation that your application has been received? I sent mine via fedex last week, according to fedex, they got it, but I didn’t hear anything from GHC.

They don't send a confirmation. And for ranking, they look ONLY at your worksheet score. They determine a cutoff score - those above it are in, those under it are not. Good luck! :)

Thanks! You are such a great resource...if you can't tell, I am so anxious to get started with a nursing program. If I calculated my score correctly, I have a 1737.5, hopefully that is good enough. I had a rough period getting my first degree and went from a 4.0 to nearly a 1.0 and then back up again. It has hurt me in the past in the application process, so I am hoping it doesn't get in the way here. I work as a tech right now and love it, I just can't wait to move up to the next level...even if it means driving almost two hours to get there.

The cut off for this past fall was 934 I think? How did you get your score as 1737.5 if you made B's and C's in the science classes? Since those count 50% of the score? I applied for this past fall and didn't get in because I had a C in AP1. I took the class again this summer and made an A and I am still borderline getting in for this spring. Hopefully we will all get in, the waiting stinks! They are saying we won't know until Nov. if we got in, hopefully it won't take that long!

I may have miscalculated my score. I will have to look at it again. I have only one attempt for each class and a prior bachelor's degree. The college awards you 1000 points for the SAT score if you have a prior bachelor's degree, so I did not have to submit an SAT score. As far as the core courses go, I believe I have all A's in everything but the science courses. I am pretty nervous about this, but one can only hope to get in. You had all A's except in an A&P class and you were not accepted the first time you applied? That worries me even more!

Hello Bailey8. My name is Charlie and I too am applying for Spring 2011 admission to GHC nursing program. I too hold a bachelor's degree as you and . I'm hoping I can help as far as helping you to calculate your worksheet score correctly so that you have an idea as to where you stand. I think you may be miscalculating your score. You are correct in that the college awards those who hold a bachelor's degree 1100 points. That 1100 points is then muliplied by .20 because that section (category III) counts as 20% of your overall score. The first section (category I) which is all your science courses counts as 50% of your overall score (multiply by .50). The category II score is all the other classes which counts as 30% of your overall score (multiply by .30). You add up the score from each of the three sections and that gives you your worksheet score. It's a bit nerve wracking isn't it?!:uhoh3: I have to get to class now but I hope I've helped. Good Luck!:p
