I have officially began all my nervous activities: house is spotless, workout done, dog bathed...and the list goes on. Just a couple more days. Hopefully we will all be celebrating with a letter of acceptance in our hands!!!

I did get a phone call from GHC, but it was from general admissions, not nursing admissions. You never know, all I know is that all of us really want in the program and we are getting very close to finding out if we have been selected. I can't wait for the day I check my phone at work and see that someone has been selected! Good luck to all of us!!!

Hey guys....we are almost there! One of my coworkers has been telling me about West Central Technical College. She said that their deadline had not approached yet to begin classes in the Spring. I was just wondering if any of you had heard of it. I know we are still waiting to hear from GHC, I guess I am just anxious and always thinking of a backup plan. Good luck to all of you...still keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!

I heard that letters will be sent out the first of November....just a little over a month before we know!!! Good luck to you all =)

To be honest, I am not totally sure about how they feel about repeated classes, but let me know what you find out. I do know that the application worksheet asks you how many attempts you have had at a class and what those grades were, so it is calculated into the score, but I am not sure if they look down upon it or not.

Thanks Charlie, that does help! I just found out today that they took my upper level classes instead of the lower level science courses. Finally, something went right and I have a much higher score. I met with the advisor as well, she said they will fill out the worksheet score just as it says to at the top of the page. The directions do say to mulitply by .50 and .30, so you are saying that they will then multiply the SAT scores by .20? Thanks for your help, I hope to see you in the Spring!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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! =)

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'll have to check into it! Thanks for the info! It sounds cheap, but I hate to pay $20 more just to find out I was not eligible to apply. I might have to though...I really really want to begin the program in the Spring!

Thanks! I will be sure to give them a call tomorrow!

Thanks! I feel like I am being a pain, but I really need to know if my courses are transferring in or not.
