80 Grade 12 C English

72 Grade 12 C Math

78 Grade 12 C Physics

I was wondering if my grades are good enough to get into the RPN, RT, or Pharmacy Tech programs?

Bear in mind, your high school grades are only used to get admitted to the school itself. The programs you're looking to enter will usually require you to take pre-requisite courses at the collegiate level before you can be admitted to the program you choose, especially nursing & RT.

You'll need to speak to an admissions counselor at the school you wish to attend in order to determine what you need to do to get admitted.

I am 22 years old and looking at getting into RT, RPN, Pre Health or the Pharmacy Tech program, I am not sure which one to enter? I am already in 4.5k in debt as, I picked the wrong program for myself during the first year of college. I am unsure if my grades are good enough and, I have heard that the Pre Health program is a money grab and, I don't need it. The grades, I received in high school were: 80 in Grade 12 C English, 72 in Grade 12 C Math, 78 in Grade 12 C Physics, 83 in Grade 12 C Chemistry, and 85 in Grade 11 C Biology. I am unsure about what to do, and would like to get straight into a program of my choice if possible.

Have you looked into the admission requirements for any schools in your area, the length and cost of the programs and the employment outlook upon graduation? Have you looked into the the job requirements or description of any of the jobs you list?

I have looked at the RPN and RT closely, the employment in my area for both is excellent, the RPN is two years and the RT is three years. The problem with Pharmacy Technicians, is they only get paid well in the hospital which is hard to get into. The Pre Health is a one year course, however it costs five grand to basically retake high-school courses.

I have been told by other people that Pre Health is a money grab and you don't need it, my mom is an RN and got into her program with just her high school. I don't see why, I couldn't get into the RPN with a 80% average.
