Schools That Take Highest Grade

I have been racking my brain on how I can get myself into nursing school, but I keep running into the same problem over and over again. :banghead: I made a low grade in a math class (college algebra) and I have taken it three times to get a passing grade. This was eight years ago! Anyway, as you all know this class is a prerequisite course for most RN nursing programs in Georgia. Is there any school out there that takes the highest grade that you make in a course or the most recent grade that you've made in the course without averaging all of the attempts? If anyone can tell me of such a school in Georgia, it would be the answer to my prayers. Thanks

I don't know of any specifically that don't average retaken grades, but I do know that a lot of them don't just consider College Algebra, they can also consider Math Modeling or some other class like it. I know KSU requires you to take Math Modeling and Stats, and I'm pretty sure GHC will take any of 3 different maths (algebra, math modeling, etc). Good luck!

Thank you PreRN Katie,

I am trying to get into an ADN program and I just don't want my old grades to hurt me. I am trying to think of all of my options. I live in Lithonia and I know there are a lot of schools near me, but I want to be as competitive as possible. I think North Georgia College and State University takes the highest grade. I have heard good things about their program. Gainesville wouldn't be too far away. I am willing to go just about anywhere.

I had the same problem, I had a few bad grades in classes I had taken earlier. My school takes the highest grade no matter how many times you take it. It's West Central Tech, but it's pretty good ways from you.

Thank you so much. I am familiar with West Central Tech. I will look into them.
