Originally posted by Eiba View PostSouthern institutions tend to accept applicants with lower scores. I forgot which institution it was but someone in my class was hired with a score below 50.
Do you know when the last time they tested and added individuals to the northern institutions

I tested 6 weeks ago. Still waiting for my score. They said 8-10 weeks. Any chance it will come before they calls for the next class? I believe you have to have your score before your added to the list right? My hubby works as co for IDOC, I'm hoping this doesn't slow down the bi and the entire process.

As far as people with the same score is concerned, it then goes by who tested first.
Stateville has the highest scores in the academy and everything after that appears to be about the same. Every institution is hiring but it varies on how many they are taking each time.

I hear Menard has been putting a lot of people in the academy. I'd choose Dixon over Sheridan because Dixon might actually hire.Vaya con dios

There are many institutions with only 1 or 2 cadets so I guess that might be a sign that they aren't really doing much hiring but if your score is high enough, you definitely have a shot.
It's a tough call on the IDOC hiring process. We only have 2 cadets from Sheridan. The highest Sheridan score was in the 60s but because those cadets put Sheridan as their #1 choice, they were hired over those who chose Sheridan as #2.
The counter to that is Stateville hired 16 (not all of them are still here) for the academy and Sheridan only hired 2 so you still have the best shot at Stateville or Dixon (not sure how many they have in the academy but it's more than 2).
My advice to everyone is to just hang in there and leave your choices where they are, when it's your time, you'll get the call. As far as re-testing, just wait until 6 months and then submit a new application to retest and update your score.

I switched from Sheridan to Pontiac when someone on here said CO's are literally transferring out because of a "surplus. " Come to find out with a simple Google search that 150-185 CO's were just transferred to Pontiac from Tamms and Dwight when they closed... probably not the best decision on my part in retrospect.
