Understanding PSB West Ga Tech LPN - Competitve Selection

[HoneyLPNurse, LPN]

I will be applying for the Fall 2012 LPN program at WGTC. If anyone has questions regarding the PSB scoring system for WGTC feel free to ask. I have taken it once. I scored "pretty good" according to my advisor. At WGTC for admission into LPN the PSB accounts for 50% and grades are 50%. I look forward to hearing from other potential nursing students.

How to calculate Competitve Selection Score.

To calculate PSB score:

Add the last 5 raw scores.

Divide by 305.

Multiply by 50.

To calculate academic portion:

Only the courses needed for admission into the LPN program will be calculated.

Points are given for each grade.

A=4

B=3

C=2

Add the total of points.

Divide by the total points available.

Multiply by 50.

Example: Score total is 21

21/24= 0.875

0.875 x 50= 43.75

Student would add the PSB score and Academic score for Total score for Competitive Selection

Hey,

Congrats on completing the program. I ould like to apply for selection, my score is not great 81.4 and I may retake the PSB. But I would like to know which campus should I apply for? Which campus offer the best resources?

If I am remembering correctly my score was 85.9. There were some people that got in with a total of 70 something. It really depends on the applicants who are competing at the time of selection. As far as knowing which campus has the best resources, I only can speak on the campus I attended. I chose the campus that was more convenient for me. The program is the same, just offered on three different campuses. Good luck, I hope that you are accepted.
