Wait List for Valencia Community College?

Published

Does anyone know exactly how long the wait list is for Valencia Community College??? I know they accept 120 students in the fall and spring and 80 students in the summer....I was thinking of applying there when I finish my pre-reqs and since they accept 320 students a year, I would think my chances would be good, do you??? :saint:

Could anyone fill me in on TEAS test scores? I applied for the Fall and I wanted to get a range for what scores would other people might have.

Everybody that's ever gone to vcc for their adn will say its awesome and well worth the wait. Imo, it doesn't matter where you get your associates from. Passing the nclex is what matters and, well, vcc, has a high passing rate. That's why I chose it. I start summer 11.

We basically only have 2 local choices anyway. Scc or Vcc.......oh, I mean ssc......lol. But yeah, I say go where you can get in the fastest.

(p.s. ssc is taking apps for Aug 11)

Do you know any specific reasons why employers have this preference? I am curious because I plan on applying to UCF, and Valencia is one of my back-up schools if I am not accepted.

I have a couple of friends who work for several orlando area hospitals and they say you can always tell the VCC students or grads of nursing from the other students. They have a very good np and are one of the few Nursing schools that have a very high NCLEX passing rate...I guess its the training. Maybe they come out better prepard to enter the workforce idk but a friend of mine working at ORMC who is also a VCC grad has said on numerous occasions that if its between hiring a nursing grad from VCC and anyother NP in the area almost always the VCC grad is preferred. If this program was compettitve , just by looking at some of the students who applied with me, it would be a HELL of a compettetion for a seat.
