If your ultimate goal is to become a RN, go to either a city college or 4 year university. Don't waste your time and money on a private school. I have friends that have gone to these private schools to become LPN's and in hopes of their dreams to become a RN, that never happened. Most of them got tired of taking all the pre-req courses again because the courses they took are not transferrable. There technically is no waiting list, just do your best and apply twice a year until you get in. Good luck! If you plan to work at a hospital go for your BSN, most hospitals are magnet status now. Hope that helps...
