Greenville Technical College (GTC) Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

GTC's nursing program runs on a dual-window cycle most applicants miss: submit a weighted admission form March 15-May 15 for potential admission into the August, October, OR January class, OR submit between July 15-September 15 for the March or May class. This means there isn't one annual nursing deadline - there are two filing windows that each feed THREE possible start dates, and the highest-scoring applicants within each window get first pick of which specific cohort opens to them. A student should apply at the EARLIEST window relevant to their prerequisite completion timeline, since applying in the second window when they could have applied in the first means waiting months longer for the same review process.

GTC's nursing admission is point-weighted across a TEAS score (minimum 70, with a maximum of two attempts allowed in the year before applying), a technical GPA of 2.50, and completion of four specific named prerequisites (ENG 101, MAT 120, BIO 210, PSY 201). Because TEAS scores are valid for five years and only two attempts are allowed annually, a student should sit the TEAS as early as possible relative to their intended application window - not scramble to test during the application period itself, since a low first attempt with no time for a second try before the window closes can sink an otherwise strong file.

Students with the highest weighted scores receive an admission letter, an intent form, and are required to pay a $100 non-refundable deposit plus complete a student health form (with a physical exam dated within 12 months of starting NUR courses) by the due date SET IN THE ADMISSION LETTER - not a standard, predictable calendar date. Because this deadline varies by cohort and isn't published in advance, families should have $100 and physical-exam logistics ready to mobilize on short notice the moment an offer letter is even a possibility, rather than waiting to see if they're admitted before starting that process.

GTC maintains formal ADN-to-BSN/MSN articulation agreements with ten specific named four-year partners (Anderson University, Bob Jones University, Clemson, Grand Canyon University, Lander, MUSC, Southern New Hampshire University, Southern Wesleyan, USC Aiken, USC Upstate) - each with its own outlined curriculum alignment for GTC ADN graduates. A "BSN Bound" student should pick their target four-year partner EARLY in the GTC nursing program (not after graduation) so elective and general-education choices at GTC are optimized for that specific partner's articulation requirements, since the agreements are curriculum-specific, not generic transfer credit.
