IvyTech Fall 2016

U.S.A. Indiana

Published

Creating this thread because no one has yet!!! But with that being said, here's a little bit about myself. I live in Dallas currently but will be moving to Indiana in a few months to attend IvyTech for their ASN program. I have one son and I'm very proud of him! This is why I'm going to nursing school to ensure I can take care of him. I haven't taken my TEAS test but I will soon. Who else has taken their TEAS test? What campuses are you applying to? What points do you or will you have once your finished with everything? I'll be happy to see everyone's responses and I look forward to being on this nursing journey with you all.

I'm waiting too, I only applied to Bloomington, because I don't have the option to travel far.I applied with all A's and a 88% on the TEAS so my total score was 148/160. I wish I had something to do to distract me but prepare for the fall. I am working on looking for any immunization records, since upon acceptance those will are needed...it's something to do. This is a looookng wait.....being patient will be hard. Countdown to May 30th has began.

Applied to lawrence, anderson & new castle RN & LPN programs with a 120/160.. hopefully that gets me in somewhere sucks because my TEAS could have been better. Goodluck

I applied to the Lawrence campus as well. I have 149/160, so I'm hoping that's good. I was reading posts from the class that started this spring and students were getting in with scores in the 120's!

I applied to Lawrence with a 149! I'm feeling pretty good, but don't want to get my hopes up!

Anyone know if a showing list for the first aemester....something we can, in hopes of being accepted, start pricing out? I won't buy anything without the letter but with 4 kids, I need to keep things on a budget here. :)

When I went to speak with an advisor at the Lawrence campus, they gave me a packet that had the cost breakdown. Let me see if I can find it for you!

I remember the wait! I think we all started getting letters during the first two weeks of June. You could possibly initially get into PN program in Lawrence or Anderson. I think New Castle is only ASN. I started Lawrence fall 2015 in PN program with 131/160. The cut off for ASN was around 135. There was a girl who was accepted to PN in Lawrence that had the same score as me, but later accepted a New Castle ASN spot due to ppl turning down their acceptance because they got into different campuses. Also, it's said that there are less applicants in the spring which is why some lower scores are accepted. Fall is more competitive. Good luck!

Typically in the past anything lower than 134 won't get you into the fall RN program. 120-130 may get you into the fall LPN program. The spring cohorts typically accept lower scores only because less applicants apply.

no bc it has to have the ivy tech logo. its 26$ for the polo and $50 for the scrub shirt. you need both. but you can buy your black pants outside of the book store.

Which campus are you referring to, I'll hopefully be at Bloomington. I thought they had hunter green scrub bottoms, and white scrub top with Ivy Tech logo.

Yeah it's so nerve wrecking because some days I feel like 120 is okay then others I feel like I have literally no chance. A guy in my micro class said Fall of 15' he got into the Lawrence PN with a 118 so it makes me wonder if my score is "okay". Then after talking to a DON she pretty much told me PN programs are a complete waste but of course you expect that from a 40 year experienced RN. Huh, hopefully we all make the cut. I know 149 is great, your definitely in.
