Alvin Community College (Texas)

Published

I came from an information session and thought it was so helpful! Debra Fontenot, the director was super informative and answered all the questions everyone had. This was my first experience interacting with anyone from Alvin Community College and I was impressed. I went to the Admissions Office and the ladies in the office also exhibited a friendly, welcoming environment. This says a lot especially when I’m thinking about finding the right nursing school.

Too often applicants aim at “just getting in” but fail to understand the environment/program should also be a fit. I’m applying for Fall 2019, got a little discouraged when I heard for only 40 seats there are over 200 applicants.

Anyone else applying to the program for Fall 2019?

I have applied to the summer 2019 LVN to RN transition program at Alvin. We have less seats available and less applicants but still competitive to get in. It could be only 10 seats or max is 20. Alvin does seem very organized compared to some other schools. I prefer Alvin since it is closer and I have taken several classes there. Karen told us the average GPA and HESI scores from those who got in last year for the LVN to RN program and I am just above those averages, so hopefully it works out.

If there are 20 seats, do you know how many applications does that program get? Keep me posted on if you got in.

It could be as low as 10 seats. Last year she said it was 15 seats avaialable. We won’t know until later since it is based on how many people fail the program in spring 2019 in the regular ADN program. They have only so many slots for clinicals available. She said last year less than 100 applied. This year it could be more. We’ll see if we’re accepted around April 15. Not many seats available regardless.

Other schools have more seats available it seems.

What were your stats if you don’t mind me asking? Is it possible to be eventually accepted if you’re waitlisted?
