SW Boces Entrance Exam

Published

Hi everyone!! I applied to Southern Westchester Boces and I am scheduled to take my entrance exam next Thursday. I am looking for anyone who has attended or has recently been accepted to the school. Or even anyone who knows anything about the test and scores needed in order to get accepted. I'm getting very nervous about the exam and any advice would be appreciated. I am curious to know how students are accepted - what scores are they looking for? Thank you!

Deedee, what a great question to ask....I'm also very curious to know the answer. To add to her question Sjessamy, how many classes are there per day & how long are each class? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again for all your help!

sjessamy - also, for the rockland community college bridge program, you were able to get right in, even though you haven't taken the boards yet? how long is the rcc program and when exactly does it start?

GM Ladies. I found this calendar on the SW BOCES website. I am assuming it applies to the LPN students as well. though I am not sure. http://www.swboces.org/files/580/official%20boces%20calendar.pdf

I think that's for the high school students, because it lists the day for the Regents Exam. Maybe it does still apply to us, but I have a feeling that our program is going to be different than any other program at BOCES. I think we'll be in our own little world so to speak. LOL

So i got my acceptance letter today, I never got it in the mail, they actually called and asked if I was still interested in the program, I was like "ofcourse!", and so I went to go pick up the letter in person today (7/23/10) and as I'm reading it after I got home it says that I must make a payment of $2000 by today or I will loose my seat..I mean how can they expect me to make a payment the day I was told about it? Also I have applied for financial aid and am eligible for $5500 from a pell grant. I am wondering if when the school looks up my fafsa/financial info they will use that money towards my payment...I am really freaking out about loosing my spot because I have quit my job to make a full commitment to this program. I called and left a message with financial aid, they were closed, hoping someone will have mercy on me, or call me back. It's going to be a long weekend...any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all :)

I recieved an award letter today as well.. (in the mail). i also received 5550 from Pell. the only money i have given upfront was that $900. so thats probably all u have to pay.
