no wait list schools????

Published

Hi, I'm just finishing up my last prerequisites and starting to look at ASN programs. Are there still any programs out there that don't have wait lists or lotteries? I live in California and the average wait around here is 2 years for 80% of applicants for a 2 year program. Doesn't seem to matter that I have good grades. Is it the same as this throughout the whole country? Or is it a little less competitive in other states? Is it still possible to find schools out of state that you can get into right away without the waitlists? Thanks

Hi, I think I need to take you up on your offer. I can't seem to find any schools around here that don't have a wait. Everything that's public between Chico-Sac-and the bay has a wait or a lottery that averages a few years. I have all A's in my sciences except for a B in a summer school Chem class I took last summer. Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you could give me the names of schools that don't have wait lists. Thanks

I can't PM you because I don't have 15 posts. Not sure if you can send me a PM or not.

If you are willing to relocate, Murray State College is a public institution in Oklahoma that has no waiting lists and minimal admissions requirements. The only prerequisite class is one year of high school chemistry. If you didn't take chemistry in high school, they'll take one semester of college level chemistry.

Hi, if you are willing to move to Las Vegas I attend the College of Southern Nevada. I have outlined in detail how the selection process works on another thread. Here it is:

when you get to this thread, go to page three and look for my post. If you have done fairly well in your pre-reqs you would stand a very good chance at getting into the program. After you read the post if you have any other questions, let me know. Good Luck

My school GPC in Georgia does not have a wait list. It is very competitive though. I'm in my first semester. Over 300 applications and only about 60 accepted. Selection is based strictly on GPA and TEAS V scores. If you apply and don't get in. You apply the next semester. Your name does not go on a waiting list.

Saddleback College in Southern California is a good option. They decide on a points system. It's also not too late to apply! So look into it!

Down here in the los Angeles area, citrus college, pasadena city college, cypress, chaffey, Rio hondo, almost all LA colleges like east la colleges etc..rcc in riverside, bunch of other ones, ARE NOT WAITLIST.

You can also google 'Ca bon' and select schools and it gives you list. To find out if they are not waitlist, just call'm up.

Good luck!

Haha, That's actually one of the schools I have been looking into. I have already called and talked to them. It does look to be a lot better odds there than here in NorCal.

Thanks I'll look in to them. Surprised there are so many. They are lotteries or WL around here.
