This past Saturday, I just received my acceptance letter into the RN program at Moraine Valley CC. I'm so excited. I screamed and cried lol. Studying for TEAS, taking pre-reqs, and deciding on schools to apply to (and which pre-reqa they needed) drove me crazy. Anyway, congrats to all 2016 Illinois future nurses. MVCC cohorts, I'll see you in May! Everyone else, I'll see you on the floor in Spring 2018:)
Where are YOU attending in the fall?

Congrats!! I was wondering if you would be willing to share what your ranking score was? Like how many points you had when you applied? I'm applying for the spring semester and I have heard it's really hard to get in. Just curious if my points will be good enough. Thanks and congrats again!
Thank you!
I was not notified of my ranking score (like 1st or 2nd...) but you can count your scores from your pre-req grades on your own. A is 3 pts, B is 2 pts, and C is 1 pt for your pre-req sciences. I got As and one C for all of my pre-reqs. I can't remember now if pts are given for all pre-reqs or just sciences but an advisor will clarify or you may be able to view it online but those were my grades/pts going into the program which is what I think you are asking. There are also points for certifications/licensure like emt, cna, Lpn etc. Highest points are for Lpn I believe. I am cna and I think that was 5 pts. Hope this helps and good luck!
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! I am meeting with an advisor on Monday so hoping she can help me figure out if I have a chance haha. I got A's in all my pre req sciences, and did fairly well on my teas, but I don't have any certifications/licensure so that's what I'm afraid will hold me back. Doesn't hurt to try though! Good luck with the program :)

Linz702 did you apply for Spring 2017? Jusp wondering if you got in or not? I have a good GPA (3.6), did fairly good on the TEAS (87%) but have only taken micro so far (A) and don't have any certifications.... so I'm not sure how I will end up ranking! Any feedback would be great!
