Hello all,

I thought I would start a thread for those of us applying to HCC's Spring 2013 nursing program. I am a Veterinary Technician/stay at home mom. I'm gathering everything for my application and hoping to drop it off at HCC soon. The deadline isn't until 6/1 but they recommend turning it in at least 30 days in advance. I'm a current HCC student. I was planning on applying for Fall this year, but am now expecting a little girl to arrive in July so spring it is! My pre-req GPA is 3.86 (all A's and 1 B), I'm hoping that this is good enough to get me a spot in the program for DM evening classes. Good luck to all!

Yay congrats Gradius! If you're anything like me now you'll be stalking hawknet daily to find out when they receive your application! LOL I sent mine off on Monday but it still hasn't shown up in My Documents.

Actually it started raining at around 4:40pm today and I also got a call about a job at that time that took until about 4:55pm; the last mail goes out at 5pm daily at the Post Office. But that's no matter, I have off work tomorrow so I will send it no problem. The Health Sciences Application Handbook also says we can include a SASE postcard to have them send it back to you to acknowledge receipt of all your documents which I plan to do, along with Delivery Confirmation at the Post Office.

So... we we we so excited to send this off! (And it's not even Friday!)

Just received all transcripts this week. I am hand delivering it next Tuesday to the Dale Mabry campus. I even went the extra step to request my transcripts from HCC when I graduated in 1993 so there would be NO problems. I am PRAYING that a 3.71 will be high enough to get into the day program at the dale mabry campus. I SOOOO don't want to take the TEAS test to apply to PHCC. Fingers crossed!

Sprmomof4... 99% of me says you'll have nothing to worry about. I'm at a 3.52, Nights/Weekends applicant-- I'm not too worried about getting in, however they say not all applicants may get their first choice of days/afternoons/nights so that is a bigger concern for me. So...god forbid you get thrown into the Nights/Weekends section for instance and let's just say hypothetically I could get thrown into mornings against my will... remember my name, as I believe they say people can switch sections at Orientation in November.

I believe everyone should keep this in mind as well-- if such a scenario occurs for others, those of us on this thread may be able to switch sections via communication through here if it comes to that, just in case. But... here's hoping everyone gets the section they want!

It is done. Application away! ETA for arrival is this Saturday. Even got Delivery Confirmation. (No signature required so that won't impact delay of HCC receiving my packet). It's officially out of my hands now. Let the waiting begin! :)

I am in the same boat, except that I sent mine off 2 Mondays ago and nothing has shown up yet. I stalk Hawknet multiple times per day LOL!! The wait is already killing me and we won't know anything important until September!! Ahhh!!!

I know right! The waiting just may be the death of me! They should really let us know sooner so that we're able to go to Plan B in case we don't get in for Spring. If I'm not accepted my only option would be to take a higher math class s/a Calc or Trig and make an A to bring my gpa up to a 3.72 to apply for Fall 2013 start. The only problem is that I'd have to take it this Fall to make the Jan 1 cutoff to apply for Fall '13 but we won't know if we're accepted until mid-September...which is too late to sign up for a Fall class. Grrrr! Haha...I'm exhausted just thinking about all of this!

Congrats on making it over Hurdle #1...now only about 20 more to go! Oh and 4 and a half nerve-wracking months waiting! :uhoh3:

KKJA8855 -- you have a 3.6. I saw people in the Fall '12 thread that got in with a 3.57, and we all know their floor GPA cutoff is much higher. Pretty sure you'll be okay! :D

If your check was cashed then you should be good I'm thinking?

Gradius, you will soon find out that I am a complete SPAZ when it comes to waiting for things...lol...I'm sure we'll both get in but it's in my nature to worry! But what I will say is that I am going to ENJOY my summer and break from classes immensely because more than likely it will be the last hope for a social life for the next couple of years! But totally worth it in the end!

I'm sure I am good, but I just want to see some sort of an update :) That would make me feel like the process is moving along.

I'm thinking we might not see/hear anything until after June 1? But I could be wrong. *shrug*

So now that it's out of our hands... what's everyone's summer plans? (other than eagerly waiting on decisions). ^_^
