West Central Technical College

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hello all! This is my first post, and I just had a question. I'm applying to the ADN program at West Central Tech on April 1. I was just curious if anyone knows the average gpa of those that get accepted into the program? Also, I know the average NLN percentiles are in between 80-99, I was wondering if a 96 percentile would be enough to compensate for a less than perfect gpa? The more I think about it, the more nervous I become!:uhoh21: Any help would be appreciated!

I am thinking yes you should shave. What about the rest of you? I only say this because I believe I read in a Nur. 197 syllabus that men could have no facial hair or hair touching their shirt collar.

Got a question for you guys. My interview is on the 4th. I am a male also. With that said, do you guys think I should shave my goatee off for the interview? I did for the fire dept. because I heard that they didnt like any facial hair. I cant decide.

I'm a current WCTC RN student, and I just read our syllabus, it states "Men's faces should be clean-shaven or with trimmed beard and/or mustache". I don't think any of the men in our class right now have any facial hair, So it's up to you which way you want to go.

I got my acceptance letter today. They kind of took the surprise away because I could see that it said "you have been selected" through the window on the envelope, lol. Im excited and I took your guy's advice on the beard and completely shaved it off before my interview. It was have worked because I got a 24.67 on the interview portion. Thanks for the advice, I owe you guys one because believe it or not, that could have cost me getting it. Thanks again.

Hey, from what I can tell all of us that are here on allnurses.com and applied this year got in. We posted our acceptance in a different forum. I think it is called "I got accepted at WCTC". It maybe on the first page of the pre-nursing student forum! Good luck with A&P just read over your powerpoints every day if not twice a day. Talk to you later!
