school changed NET score, missed my chance

[Hope2Be]

at my school, net reading and math minimums were score of 60 for both

my scenario:

1. took net july 1, deadlline was july 30th.

2. scored 97 in math , 58 in reading

3. next step was to fill out application for the program, scheduled for july 21, i cancelled going because i did not make a 60 in the reading portion of the net, didnt make sense in wasting my time going since i scored below requirements...

4. had been very upset so took off summer quarter to re-group, all my pre-req's are completed, expected to make it in the fall program and that did not happen.

5.started fall quarter and ran into a student that i knew quickly talked about the net...here is where things change, she tells me school lowered the reading minimum to 53 :eek:because not enough students passed ...so because i never filled out the application, i never knew:sniff:, lost my opportunity of entering the pn program this fall..the school only contacted those that filled out applications

6. i feel that i was not given a fair chance....

7. what should i do now:confused:, how should i handle this?

so upset :cry:and mad...

That sucks. I guess the moral is when in doubt apply anyway. If this is a community college and there's no application fee then you have nothing to lose anyway. If you don't qualify I think they let you know exactly what you need to do in order to reapply for a spot in the next class. But I'm sure that doesn't answer your question.

Does your school intake several times/year? Is there a class at your school starting in Jan 09 or in spring/summer 09 that you can an apply for? Alternatively - is there are class beginning in at a different school that you can apply for? Since we are in October you'd probably be sliding in under the wire with regards to a January class but if you look around you might find a school that still has spaces available.

i was thinking the same thing, see if your school has a spring nursing semester, mine does and that is when i am applying

Wow. I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm surprised the school lowered the NET score. I'm sure you'll have the opportunity to apply for Spring 2009.
