Application process at Casa Loma College?


Hi there! I have a some questions for those of you who attendend Casa Loma College in Van Nuys.

What was the application process like for you?
I know that there is an application available online, but can you apply at the campus?
How long did it take to receive an answer on your acceptance?
What was the meeting like with the admissions rep?
Is there a way to study for the math proficiency test (I tend to melt down on math tests)?
Are you allowed to get financial aid from whatever institution you want, or do they have their own lendors?
What is the meeting for with the faculty advisor? What do they advise?

There are so many more questions, but I'll save those for later, assuming I am accepted into the program.

Hello,

I attended the LVN program at Casa Loma in 2005. From what i remember it was quick and easy to apply. I attended an information session before applying. I applied in person and met with Diana (admissions rep) she was really good. I don't know if she's still there.
Back then they had a gentleman come in and review some math and english topics prior to taking the entrance exam.
As far as the lendors go, i dont remember if they gave me any choices. Overall I was happy with the program and would recommend it. I'm not sure what has changed since i've been there.

Hope this helped. Good Luck!

@woosp:
Thank yo ufor letting me know that you had a positive experience at this college. I am incredibly excited at the prospect of attending this program, and can hardly wait until the day when I can apply.
I drove to Van Nuys yesterday to check out the older campus. Unfortunately, it, along with the new campus, were closed because they are transfering everything to the new building on Kester. Augh. So I guess I'll go during my spring break. Four weeks is a long time to wait, but I know it'll be worth it!
