Re: PHCC LPN Applicants/ New Students Originally Posted by bearhugs1981 
I was just wondering if there were any PHCC applicants out there just waiting for June/July, and what were your NET scores like? I guess I am trying to get a feel for what the "competition" is like?
Is anybody a new student at PHCC either North or West Campus? What are your feelings about the program? Any regrets or thinking you would have rather gone somewhere else?
I just took the NET on Friday and am debating if I need to retest; got a 97 on math and 73 on comp and 85 on written expression. I put in the app for North and West just to see if I can get on the alternate list; I doubt I will be getting in this go around since it is my first time applying but gotta start somewhere.
Cannot wait to hear from some locals, Liz
I also am awaiting letters from PHCC. I applied to both the RN and LPN for West campus. Hopefully I'll be getting a "big" envelope for at least one of the programs. I'm incredibly nervous, so nervous, I almost don't want to know if I got accepted.
The people in the career center weren't very uplifting, after I took the net. After receiving my scores, I asked if my scores were competitive. I received a 76 on the reading comprehension (those questions were like riddles
), and I was told they were looking for scores in the high eighties. I felt so defeated, and discouraged when I heard this. My overall net average is a 85. I was also told that RN nursing board doesn't consider the net math scores of new applicants, which only hurts my chances more. Does anyone know if they look at the NET score average, when reviewing lpn applicants, or do they look at separate scores? If I'm not mistaken, the only criteria needed for the lpn program are net scores... I'll be devastated if I don't get into one of the programs.
Liz, what did you mean when you said "I doubt I will be getting in this go around since it is my first time applying". Does PHCC give priority to people that have applied before?...

You should try taking the NET again, I took it twice and brought my score and when I took it the reading passages were exactly the same as the first time which helped because I remembered some of them. I had a study book that helped as well. Good luck!
I’m assuming that means I was not accepted but perhaps I’m reading to much into it. I think someone posted awhile back that you are not officially in the program until you return a form that comes with your acceptance letter. Maybe there is still hope.
