My idiot advisor wrote back to my e-mail... "Yes, your most recent score will be used even if it was taken after 10/31. I know priority applications were due by 10/31 so I'm not sure what that means as far as your application. You could check with Maryellen Roy. Hope this helps" and i get my hopes up until this afternoon I get an e-mail from Eli... "We will use the scores that where in before the deadline, if they where good enough to be even look at for a seat we use the best ones. Because you taken the test after the deadline we will not use the scores for the priority consideration but to be place on the waiting list. Please refer to the packet." WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?! :confused: There is nothing in the packet about the deadline for the NET, only the actual application. My first test before the deadline was good enough to be looked at for a seat but barely (66) but that definitely won't get me a seat. My second test was an 86 and it's going to be put on a waiting list because of some stupid 6 week waiting rule between tests?! This program is really starting to annoy me. I'm officially screwed over I hope everyone else has better luck. I think I'm going to ask Eli to meet with me.

Hi everyone! My name is Jen and I am new to the forum, what a great place! :) I have a question about (surprise surprise!!) the NET test!: I applied to DCCC Nursing Chester County program for Fall 09 and had a question about the NET test with the application deadline. I took my first NET test on Sept. 24 and got a 78 and took it again today Nov. 5 and got an 82. Better, but not as good as I had hoped for. I was wondering the 82 score would not "count" for lack of better words because it is after the Oct. 31 nursing application deadline? Or would I be put on a waiting list? I was under the impression that if you had at least one NET test completed by the Oct. 31 deadline, then you were good. And could retake it two more times if needed to improve your score without it affecting your application. Makes sense to me since they make you wait 6 weeks to take it again for some reason...??? Any help or knowledge about this would be great! P.S...good news for any prospective DCCC nursing students having trouble with the NET test...I work at Chester County Hospital and talked to an HR/staff development instructor and she said that DCCC is going to be changing it's admission policies soon. Not sure about next year, but hopefully the year after. Admission based on a single NET test seems bogus to me! What about GPA and pre-reqs?!?!
