Minimum ACT score to get accepted into the LVN program?

Published

Hello!

I am enrolling into San Jacinto college this summer to take my pre-reqs for the LVN program and I was wondering what the minimum ACT score was to actually get accepted into the program. My mother-in-law did it quiet a few years ago and said that then it was 18 or higher. Has it changed? Is it different from school to school? Thank you for your time!!!

hmmm Not sure where you live but where I live(Oklahoma) you didn't even have to take the ACT to get in just have a certain number of points which come from experience as a CNA/CMA OR from certain college classes(which of course you would have to take the ACT for that) and then a pre-exam.

Thanks for your response! I live in Texas and there are some sites that I looked up that said you had to have one and others didn't When my Mother-in-Law went through the school (17 yrs ago lol) they had to have at least an 18. just wondering if it was the same. if so im good :)

Here in TN we had to have at least a 19 in all three(math, reading, and english). If you were an applicant over 20 years old then an act score wasn't needed, but you had to take a NET exam or a COMPASS and have a minimum score of 50 in math and 80 in reading to get in. Of course the higher the score the better your chances of getting into the program esp. if you have hundrends of ppl applying and only 20-30 openings for the class.

I'm sure it's different in every state, but Good luck on getting in ;)
