Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2012

[CJ223]

ooops... The other one had 2011 instead of 2012... let's try this again:

Just thought I would start a new thread for the current application cycle. Questions... stats... rumors... etc!

My question is... for those applying this cycle, how did you do on the TEAS V? Since this is the first year they are using this test, it would be nice to see how everyone is doing.

(Please don't post TEAS 3 or TEAS 4 results, as the scores are NOT comparable with the TEAS V.)

thanks saramisu! it looks good but being two years turns me off. i figure i am better off waiting another year ang doing right to rn.. thanks again for the info

jrsl7490.. no, i dont think it will. it is 50% gpa last five years, 25% a and p 1 grade and 25% teas v score. then 75% is picked according to rank, 25% lottery. what school did you apply to?

Does anyone know how many seats Capital has available each year? I've heard/read wildly varying numbers from 48-160.

[nef203]

eermm- no... maybe check commnet and see how many seats are open in nur 101?

Unfortunately, Capital doesn't have the Fall 2012 schedule up yet on mycommnet. Maybe they will in a couple of days..

[SC APRN, DNP, APRN, NP]

CCC 162

Is it wierd that my GPA never showed up in the website. Im a transfer student from Goodwin and this is my first time applying to the CCC nursing program.

Thanks, studentnurseCT. That's good to know! Glad it's not only 40 something! : )

yrienay - no, it's ok, I don't think they posted anyone's GPA online this year. Not sure why, but there's no need to worry about that.

[yrienay]

Thanks for letting me know. I was getting really worried after reading all of last years forums.

jrsl- doesn't matter if you have a bachelors, they rank everything based on the mentioned criteria to make it "fair". It doesn't even matter if you have health care experience, they base it solely on grades and TEAS exam scores.

Stef - 2 years is really long for an LPN program, but unfortunately, I think I have run out of the patience to wait, hahah. It took me 3.5 years to finish my pre-reqs (im sure im not the only one) so I am ready to do this, but that wouldn't be ideal at all. Have you considered accelerated programs as a back up plan? where did you apply?

At the last information session I attended, the woman coordinating it said about 160 seats at CCC. I believe it is either the largest, or second largest.

NGPAs never posted, i'm not sure why they've taken the entire thing down. I find it really strange. Wouldn't it save them time and money to allow us to check online?

Aye. Well, we're down to the final week. Yikes.

Good luck to all, it's been really, really helpful to have this forum. Keep the posts coming this week, I know i'll need them!:hug:

So i was looking at the fall 2012 course listings on mycommnet and it shows that you can register for one of the two offered NUR* H101 INTRO TO NSG courses. The listings offer 63 and 62 seats for a grand total of 125 spots. I am willing to bet that is the applicant number nvcc is accepting. Oh boy.

Capital is accepting about 160 Nursing students to begin in the fall. But they did have 400 applicants but who knows how many applicants didn't have all the requirements or had the bare minimum. I wonder if they removed the status updates from mycommnet because last year they had a mess up and acceptances got posted too soon by accident. My friend was speaking with a counselor at CCC and was told the letters would be mailed on Monday the 9th. So close and so far away! Good luck everyone!!
