What should I do?

[brenay]

In my state, the only thing that is required for admittance into nursing school is of course GPA, ACT scores, and an essay. They look at other things too such as volunteer work and community service. The MINIMUM ACT score that is required to apply is a 21. That is exactly what I have. A 21. I took it twice in high school and I received a 21 both times. I'm a sophmore in college now. Do you all think I should take the ACT again to see if I can get a higher score? What if I get a lower score? I mean I want my ACT score among other things to be above the bare minimum. I do not want anything to affect my chances of getting in.

Take it, but don't send it to any schools when you register. Just send them after if you like the score.

It couldn't hurt to retake it to try to improve your score. It looks as if you are dealing with more competition than I have had to go through to get into the LPN program. With that being said, I am not so sure how competitive schools in your area tend to be, but I had to take the PSB and make a 230 in order to be able to apply for the selection process, and I got a 232 and got in without a problem. Best of luck! :)
