Ivy Tech Spring '10 Applicants

MistyMiss · Jul 23, 2009

MistyMiss, let me know if you are able to go to that info session, because I will definitely sit with you!

Csab, I will let you know for sure, I would love to meet you and any other AllNurse folks!! Crossing my fingers for a sitter :)

which online practice did they study from. i am going to apply in gary. r u all an lpn already and going to go into transition, thanx

I am thinking that the online resource that most people use is ATI, http://www.atitesting.com/ , it is the company that designs the book that Ivy Tech sells and the test itself. When you purchase the book you gain access to the site for a couple of practice tests I believe, but I am pretty sure you could just purchase site access for sample tests if you wanted to.

Good luck with your application in Gary! Which program are you applying for? Personally, I am hoping to get into the ASN program in Indy. I currently work in accounting, so this is quite the switch for me :bugeyes:

Yep! You can purchase the 2 practice tests for $30 on the website. It kinda helped to get the feel of how the test was set up. I got an 85 on my first try with no studying. So...I am going to retake it again, but I am not applying until next year for the Fall '10 start. So, for now, I will spy on you guys and live vicariously through you!

LOL Kara, yep we can be buddies at another info session! I currently am definitely planning on going to that one. I just won't fill out their little form since I already filled it out twice, they will think I'm nuts for going to a third session LOL.

MistyMiss, I'm gonna PM you. . . I too am changing careers in a major way.

Does anyone know what the point range for the Indianapolis campus is? How is evevyone doing on their TEAS exam? It's my biggest problem. :cry:

I wish there was a way to know the point range! Unfortunately, we will probably never know what the exact range was, even after the selections are made.

Here are some stats for Indy, just to keep everyone interested since it's been a well kept secret.

For the Spring 09 class there were 205 applicants with an average score of 199 for RN and 170 for PN

For the Fall 09 class there were 340 applicants with an average score of 206 for RN and 190 for PN.

Just to give you an idea how competitive it is at Indy.

Would you mind sharing your source? Your numbers seem to follow a logical course, but given your previous posts, I am more than a little skeptical.

csab · Jul 24, 2009

The average is 199? or 206? 199 seems like a pretty low number for an average, since an average is generally somewhat near the middle of the range. The absolute lowest score, maybe.

This information is not readily available, so unless you work for the school or polled every single student that got accepted, there would be no way to know the lowest accepted score. Each semester is differnt and it is true that there are lower numbers who apply in the Spring and the scores accepted are lower.

Please PLEASE make sure BOTH program directors say the same thing about the credits. i went in twice; one said yes and the other said no. the registrar's office will transfer them in, make sure both program directors say they will transfer and make sure the transfer is done. just because they say it does not mean it's done. ask them how long it will be until you see them on your transcript. once they are on the transcript, there is no changing it. it is not considered transferred until on the transcript.

also, be advised a C- is accepted at Ivy Tech, but not in the nursing programs. their accrediting body does not allow C-.

just giving my :twocents: as always...

deception9999 · Jul 27, 2009

well i asked the program directors during open office hours when i was denied acceptance 2 semester in a row. that's my source. they did tell me scores would change each semester but this is the info. i was provided with when visiting the office.
