River Valley Community College (NH Community Technical College - Claremont; NH Technical College - C) Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

RVCC's Radiologic Technology program scores applicants on a documented rubric: education level, healthcare or military experience, HCAP Pre-Radiologic Tech coursework (2 points), science and liberal-arts course grades (A=6, B=4, C=2), and up to 10 points from a faculty recommendation. Specifically ask a science instructor - not just any professor - for that letter, since it's the single highest-weighted discretionary item on the rubric.

The program interviews only about double the number of available seats (roughly 40 candidates for a 20-seat class). Complete the required 4?8 hour fieldwork observation at an imaging facility early and submit the signed form promptly - it's a mandatory checkbox, not optional enrichment, and a missing form quietly removes qualified applicants before scores are even tallied.

You need a current, unencumbered Practical Nursing license from NH or New England plus a passing score (68%+) on the NLN Nursing Acceleration Challenge Exam (NACE I) before you can even apply. Start reviewing foundations-of-nursing content months ahead of the November 30 preferred deadline, since applications received after that date only compete for whatever seats remain.

RVCC spans Claremont, Keene, and Lebanon under the CCSNH system, and Rad Tech clinical placements follow a fixed sequence across NH/VT hospital partners (year one spring/summer, then two more rotations in year two). Check which host hospitals your program actually uses relative to where you live before enrolling - proximity matters far more here than at a single-campus school.
