I still have the Pell Grant for now so I'm trying to fit as many pre-reqs as possible in at GSU. Cost for me to finish my English degree isn't the issue. The issue of cost comes in after my bachelors when I know I will probably be able to only get loans {which is something I don't want to do}. I think I may apply to GPC and Athens Tech for sure. I'm still researching. Thank you for responding and good luck to you also @falconwidow!

Thanks for replying @falconwidow. Well, to be honest, cost is a factor. The thought has crossed my mind to apply for the nursing program at GSU but why apply when I know I can't afford it? I would prefer to go for my ASN at a cheaper school and later on when I can afford it, do a bridge program.

Hello All! I have been reading the threads for a few months now and I decided {after combing through them *smile*} to post a question. Currently, I am a English major at Georgia State. I picked this major because I was being pressured to go to law school. After taking a year off from school, moving, and thinking... I decided that I'm going to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse. Now, the easy part was deciding nursing is what I wanted to do. The difficult part is actually getting there. I only have 5 more classes to complete before I finish my degree in English. Which will take me 2 years to complete {four classes are a language requirement}. I was thinking that during this time I can take the pre-reqs for the GPC nursing program and then apply to the nursing school once I get done with my degree from GSU. My questions are: 1. Will taking my pre-reqs from a school other than GPC hurt my chance of getting into GPC? 2. When credits are transferred to GPC do they only take into account your program GPA or overall GPA? 3. Will they take note as to how many times I have repeated a science course? Thank you in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your responses!
