Schools misrepresenting competitiveness?

Published

So I just noticed that the college I'm going to absolutely misrepresented how difficult it is to get into the nursing program. They told us that they only allowed something like 24 RNs at a time. However, if you look through the course offerings, there are spots for 84 students in every course. Yes, RN-only courses, I'm not looking at classes offered to LPNs. It's usually 12 classes of 7, some classes are 8-9 where they were short on instructors.

Has anyone else noticed a school misrepresenting how competitive its program was? What would even be the benefit of doing this?

why the Swedish flag? My son lives in Stockholm and it is SOOOOOO beautiful

I'm a Swede! Stockholm is indeed an incredible place, everyone should get to visit at some point in their lives. Forget dirty old Italy or France, visit Sweden!

Esme, I am sorry that she wants it so badly and that her experience, thus far, has been poor.

I hope she gets that acceptance letter from a school she really wants to attend! Fingers crossed for a better SAT score :)

Thanks you guys...she is such a good kid. Of course she'd be outraged I called her a kid....:inlove:

There are many problems with education from elementary school through graduate school.

I am sure you have lots of connections to help you daughter, but if you need and help, I have some contacts at schools as well. Let me know if I can help.
