Los Angeles Harbor College Fall 2012

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi everyone! I've sent in my application for Fall 2012 at LAHC, and already took my Teas 5 for another school but I haven't heard anything yet if I've cleared the first lottery. Two of my friends are in their first semester at LAHC and both said it took a long time to hear back regarding admission.

Anyone hear anything yet?

What do you mean, zero? You can't be serious! I know of four classmates of my friend's (all are 1st semester right now) who were alternates. They pull alternats all the time at LAHC.

I'm panicked now. I will stop by the school and speak to her. Thanks for the heads-up.

please let me know if you hear something good from her about alternates asap ... But i do not set My Hope too high for that !!!

bummm! So did you talk to her already ?>

I didn't actually. I noticed on our letters it said "Do not call the Nursing Program to inquire about space available", so I'm going to leave her alone. I don't want to hurt my chances or annoy her and get moved down on the alternates list. I reallllyyyy want to ask her, but keeping out of her way is more important :uhoh3:

Okie, I spoke to T*** , she told me that I was put on alternate list ( number 4), which is kinda high on the list. And i thought I would get in. But she said that alternates seemed like .. do not have chance to get in at all. I was very shocked !!!

It's because LAHC sent out 64-65 accepted letters( they know that some will decline their seats for sure), and they class size will decrease to 49-50... It's good enough for Fall 2012 ?!?! They won't call alternates ???I was thinking ... why you give me high hope. And I finally realize that the faculty knows that Im not able to get in at the beginning.

I hope to get picked for weekend program @ Glendale. However, if im lucky enough to have a seat (traditional program at Glendale), I think Ima go with LATTC or LASW. It's much closer to my house. I think, nursing is all about... you get what you put in. RN-BSN program is my goal right now. so, Im cool with LATTC or LASW. :D

Good luck to you tho.

That seems weird that they sent out 65 invites but really can only accommodate 50 people. Something doesn't sound right about that. It's a very expensive program for them to run so I can't imagine they would cram more people than they could actually afford to have.

Maybe she was just trying to not get your hopes up.

Anyway, did you hear back from LASW? Did you get in?

I think it's kind of weird too Willowita. Then again I think the whole lottery process is weird and aggravating so nothing surprises me!

:lol2: you're right, LovetheER. I guess anything goes.

Did you apply to other schools?

For some reason, i do not trust the "LOTTERY SYSTEM". :D

Just like Glendale College, they ask for your healthcare experience ?!?!

SouthWest they ask for your essay?

About LAHC, after I talked to --------, i was like: what if NOONE ever declinces their seats, LAHC Must take all of them (which is 65 ppl). How would you dare to run the expensive program like that ? must be a joke to me :)

Hi Willowita, I didn't apply anywhere else - I want to go to LAHC and I'm willing to wait :). I found out today I'm #3 on the alternate list, but like she pointed out there's little chance alternates will get in. But Spring looks promising as they won't be taking applicants who have a repeated science course and I have no repeats. I do hope Fall works out though. I think lotteries are so ridiculous! Oh well :) I'm being a valuable lesson in patience.

hi LoveER, so you're no 3, and I'm no.4 haha. Did she mention about the orientation ??

I'm in dilemma situation. I will start this Fall 12. But my fav schools are Santa Monica and LAHC. Santa Monica will call me SPRING 13 surely (since Im waiting 2-3 semester already). But I do not wanna wait. Things may change, we'll never know . LAHC wont be guaranteeing a seat for me for Spring ( or we'll have to take Teas VI ?? who knows?) Santa monica, I have to take one more class to graduate later, Interpersonal Communication...

My goal is RN-BSN, it's a long way for me to go. I dont wanna hestitate any more.

hnguyen, if you don't want to wait anymore, I think you should go with a plan that's a sure thing. You got into LATTC for Fall '12, correct? Maybe you should go there if you want to start. If there are no guarantees that you'll get into LAHC or SM for Spring '13, then you'd be taking a big gamble, which would put you in a position to wait even longer and reapply. But of course, that's just my opinion and you know what's best for you. :)

I know for me, I can't wait anymore. I want to get married, adopt children, and get my life started. The longer I wait, the more I have to push those things away. LAHC is going to be a bit far for me but if that's the only school I get accepted, then that's where I'm going to go. But I'm still waiting to hear from County, which sounds like they'll let us know in June. Ugh, they're taking forever.
