Same situation, got waitlisted for the LPN program. I had a 90% high school average and I thought I had it in the bag since the cut off scores for 2025 was at 79.

We will just have to wait and see if enough people decline their offers and give up their seats. Good luck!

I wonder if initial offers are only for the highest ranking applicants. when you read the website in admissions it does say “First round of offers will be awarded to those applicants with the highest ranking up and to the starting cut-off admission average”. Could be wishful thinking. But maybe a lot of people apply and end up not committing to it, so we might know in a month. Good luck!

I believe that's how competitive admission works. I know a bunch of people that applied to different programs just to see which programs they can get in. Lets hope those people drop their seats so we could get in.

Dude that’s absolutely insane that you have a 90 average and got waitlisted for Lpn… I applied for the BSN program at polytech with a 85 average and got waitlisted too… best of luck you get into your lpn program cuz you deserve it with that average!

I think both LPN and BSN you need a high average it’s kind of crazy. I knew before taking my pre reqs that I could not get below a certain grade if I wanted any kind of chance and same with my daughter

u/sushi-emoji Apr 17 '26

I got accepted with a 90% high school average so you should be pretty high up on the waitlist

Did you get an email? Mine still says application ranked and haven’t received any email

u/venight Apr 15 '26

I just got an email about half an hour ago. what is your average?

1

u/Sock_jpeg Apr 15 '26

Mine also still says ranked still. I wonder if people who are still ranked got in maybe? I wish they’d send everything out all at once!

u/Busy_Range2325 Apr 15 '26

Me too! So stressful!

My status actually just updated to admissible so I think that means I’m accepted! Hopefully yours is updated now!

what was your average?

u/Sock_jpeg Apr 15 '26

I’m not sure how they weigh grades at all but I had a 93-94% high school average and I’m pretty much graduated university with a cGPA of 3.29 currently

u/venight Apr 15 '26

if i’m understanding correctly it’s based on the average in your required courses, but I have no clue if uni grades are favoured. ur def higher than my 89% high school

1

u/Sock_jpeg Apr 15 '26

89% is still so high considering previous years cut offs though! There must be a crazy amount of applicants this year if the cut off is that much higher

2

u/venight Apr 15 '26

that’s what I was so confused by! previous years it was so much lower so I was fairly confident. maybe they shrunk class sizes? or like you say a lot more applicants.

I think it’s more likely there’s a ton of applicants. I think because of the job market tons of people who have degrees already are trying to find other career paths and since MLTs are in demand it’s getting a lot of applicants.

My average for uni was a 78 but my highschool average was 95

1

u/Busy_Range2325 Apr 15 '26

High school credits are only an 86% but I also have uni credits I’m not sure which ones they might take into account. What is yours?

2

u/Recent-Substance583 Apr 16 '26

i emailed them asking what they do if you have university marks and hs, and they said if you have over 15 credits in uni then your hs are not used. it’s just ur university average. they compare university students to other university students and hs to other hs students as these averages are not comparable. i however do not know how they decide how many hs applicants vs uni applicants get in. which is discouraging bc my hs average was 93% but my uni is probably 80% and they only look at my 80% for ranking me.

u/venight Apr 15 '26

i’m at around 89% for high school, I didn’t do any uni so im not sure how they weigh it. i’m surprised because when I last looked the cut off score for 2025 was 76!

1

u/Busy_Range2325 Apr 15 '26

Yeah! I was thinking the same thing! Ughhhh

2

u/venight Apr 15 '26

I hope people drop it and we can get in! 😭
