what do you mean "waiting list"? at my school, you apply and know within 30 days if you are in or not..so i guess you can say we don't have a waiting list

The school I am going to right now for my pre-reqs is in SC. The nursing program does not do a waiting list but they do have a weighted admission form. http://www.gvltec.edu/ look up the weighted admission form on there and see the required classes. The application dates are July 15- Sept 15 for the spring semester and Dec 15- Feb 15 for summer and fall.

GL on finding a school that works for you!

Click on this link: http://www.discovernursing.com/ and look on the right for the "HOW" tab. In there, it says "Nursing Programs Without Waiting Lists"

Maybe through this, you will be able to find one closer to where you are.

Good Luck! :D

Our school does not have a waiting list. They have a point system from ACT scores and GPA. They usually accept 80 in spring semester and 80 in fall semester. If you do not get in but were close you get an alternate number for dropouts and such, but if you're an alternate and don't make it in that semester then you still have to reapply again the next semester and start all over. I go to Jackson State Community College in Jackson, TN. School's website is http://www.jscc.edu for more info. or you can message me.

Check out: Otero Junior College - La Junta, CO

We're in a very rural area, so generally speaking, we don't get a lot of applicants which makes getting in pretty simple.

I actually read a thread about this and found it here:

Some programs are getting so overwhelmed that they are not doing wait-lists but making applicants re-apply the following semester. Good luck to you.

The local community college in my state (Rhode Island) has 4 different campuses and recently got rid of their waiting list. You need good grades (B and above at minimum) in the pre-requisites and a certain score on the TEAS to be admitted. They have a full time traditional ADN program and also a part-time nights & weekends program to choose from.

Here is some more info: http://www.ccri.edu/nursing/

I am in a BSN program at Rhode Island College, which also has no waitlist. You need a high GPA and good grades in the pre-reqs to apply, but there are no standardized tests until after admission. Let me know if you want more info! http://www.ric.edu/nursing/

**Edited to add: at both schools, students who are denied admission are asked to apply in a subsequent semester; no waiting lists are in place.

Like I posted in the thread someone linked, Texas schools seem to be based on competitive admissions (vs just waiting for a spot). Please don't fall into the trap of thinking that this means it is easy to get into nursing school in Texas, like some people who have talked to me seem to think. Schools, especially those in large cities, are very competitive.

As an example: http://lonestar.edu/departments/nursing/Scoring_Chart_for_Admission_.basic.pdf

This is the scoring chart for a community college system outside of Houston. Each campus has a different cut off score, but for the past few years, they have all required a score above 11 for admission.
