Depends on how popular the program is in your area. I was told by the colleges I applied to that they had long wait lists, but I was accepted right away. Good luck!:)

It depends on the school. I know in my area there isn't a wait list at the local community colleges, but it is competitive entry. So applying doesn't necessarily mean you will get in and often time even those with good grades done get in the first time they apply. One school said they get 120-150 apps per semester but can only take 40 students. My suggestion is to always apply to whatever program (accredited and something that you can afford without montains of debt) that you qualify to as soon as you are able to, while you continue to take general ed classes so you don't get through with all of the basic classes and just wait away hoping to get into a program. That worked for me anyway, was busy taking RN general education, which would have taken me at least one more year, applied to an LPN program gotten...never looked back will finish my bridge program next semester.
