Questions about becoming an LVN?

I'm a senior in high school and I want to get my license as a vocational nurse. The community college I was planning on (Citrus Community in Glendora, CA) has a good program. The thing is the only reeeaal requirement is taking one prerequisite (NRS 100). Then they pick about 20 to 25 students that did the best in that class, and I think there's room for 100 in the class. I found this out from looking online and calling the nursing counselor.

So my question is, is every class this competitive? I thought as long as I passed the test to get my license I was good to go, but apparently it's a challenge just to get into the program. Is every program designed this way?

I knew it wasn't easy when I decided I wanted to be an LVN, but those chances didn't really reassure me. I guess I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help my chances on just getting into the program? I was already expecting to take other general ed classes prior to NRS 100 that pertain to nursing.

    Lol, I'm not to sure how your state goes by when becoming a LVN. I'm going to school to become a RN. Um, as long as we passed the classes we can move on to the next phase. I'm in Texas though... You should check out other colleges around you to see if this applies to them as well when becoming an LVN.
