Georgia Highlands Fall 2013

Rcha1152 · May 8, 2013

Hi! I applied to GHC Nursing Program for Fall 2013. I'm trying to keep my hopes up but my scores are low compared to the scores posted on here. My gpa is only a 3.5 as of now but grades will be posted tomorrow so I'm hoping it will go up. My worksheet score is 1050. Did I see that someone posted that Highlands accepted scores of the upper 900's last fall? I was told the low for last Fall was a 1200. I hope that is not true! Very discouraging!

Hi, I haven't heard what last falls score cut off was. A 1050 worksheet score is not bad at all. I've heard 1000+ are usually good. Fingers crossed for all....grades are posted at GHC so not long until we find out! :)

I hope that 1000+ is good enough. My class grades are really good all A's and B's but my SAT scores were awful! Yes grades at Highlands are all in and my gpa is now a 3.6, but i think it's usually the middle of June before they send out letters. Trying to stay positive and my fingers will be crossed for all as well! Good Luck to everyone! :)

I applied for fall 2013 as well. My question is what is a "perfect" worksheet score? I try not to get too wrapped up in it because there are so many factors that play into getting an acceptance ( wether early in the process or later). Good luck everyone:)

I don't know of too many people that applied to program but it would be great if we all got in!!! Wishful Thinking! I also had a worksheet score of 1200 + but I don't want to get my hopes up??

Rcha1152 · May 17, 2013

BeeCaring22 a 1200+ is a good score. I would have my hopes up for sure if I had that score, but I know what you mean. It would be nice if everyone could get in I know we have all worked so hard to get to this point. I would like to know how many people applied for Fall. I've never thought about it before but now I am very interested. Does anyone know how many people are accepted into the program in the fall?

I emailed a nursing advisor and she told me that the cutoff score last fall was low 1000s. I'm really hoping its that rather than 1200. I hoping she is right and not the source you heard it from! :/

Rcha1152 · May 19, 2013

No I heard that from another student and I also hope she was wrong. From what I hear every person in the nursing department gives different information so we will probably never know. I guess we will just have to hope and pray for the best!

I called and talked to the lady in admissions and she told me that the lowest score accepted for fall 2012 was 1040. My score is 1056, very nervous!!

I've been waiting calmly....but the closer to the end of the month it gets the more antsy and impatient I am to hear...lol

SO hoping we hear by the end of next week :)

Rcha1152 · May 27, 2013

Wow! The lowest score accepted was a 1040!? That gives me no hope at all! :no: I guess if I don't get in I will have to retake my SAT's and try to get a higher score and apply for the Spring.

Is this everyone's first time applying for the GHC program?

DMC87 · May 27, 2013

It's my first time applying. @Rchs1152....the SAT was killer....much easier the 1st time I took it in high school (many moons ago). They couldn't/wouldn't recenter my old score so had to retake in February....sweated that one! Then took the TEAS in March, on top of 12 hours this semester. BIG sigh of relief when done...and enjoying the summer off!
