Getting In LPN, what I found out

[Brenney9101]

i am sure it is different in all regions, but i was lucky to get an advisor at a local community college to really break down getting into the lpn program here, (tampa bay) ... she gave me these stats from the last starting class:

220 applied

11 got in (the other seats were given to the grandfathered in waiting list applicants that they have done away with, but need to finish giving these people seats that have been waiting 2 years...) there are actually 36 seats

the range of composite net scores for the accepted (very lucky) people was 83 being the lowest and 91 being the highest... you needed a

50 composite on the net just to apply, but you better do better than that ... it is competitive but we can do it! get that net study guide and lets take this seriously!!!!!

what i am trying to do is not discourage anyone (including myself! ) but advise you to get stats from your college, see exactly how they weigh the net and what they are "looking" for so you can pay that area extra attention...... reading is given a weight of 55%, followed by math 30%, so with that, i better have my reading and grammer skills perfected! check with your school and i recomend teh eri study guide for the net prep. it is tryly easy to follow, especially those of us who have been out of school 15 years!
