private vs community college

It couldn't hurt to apply even if you think you don't have enough credits. Talk to the counselor to find out which classes are most important. In my program, some of our classes could be taken with the program as long as we had high enough ACT scores & if you weren't accepted, you earned an extra point toward next year. Although, as rigorous as our course is, I don't know how some of my classmates managed the time to do the work in the additional classes, but they did.

I opted for the community college, even though I waited an extra year to get in (but worked on my pre-req's while waiting) because of the ENORMOUS price difference. approx. $5,000 for my cc program and $25,000+ for the private school.

i say wait for the community college, it will save u thousands in debt, just work and save money and enjoy the time to urself cuz when u go to lpn school u will be giving up ur life, i did but it was worth it, i know some private schools that cost 30k while college is only 5 so u do the math and save urself 25 k
