Hello everyone!

I've just searched the boards and have not found much on RVCC... I'm currently finishing my pre-reqs to get on their waiting list.. I'm currently on the Dean's list with a 4.0GPA, and hope to be in the program in the Fall of '09....Until then I figure I will take some courses to go towards a 4-year degree..

Is Fall 09 entrance a reasonable expectation? Has anyone else here attended RV? What were your experiences? It seems to be a good program, and although the waiting list is a pain, I've found no other school as economical..

My complaint of the school so far is the lack resources to prospective nursing students.. The College advisors know nothing of the Nursing program..so what are advisors for anyway?

Also, the Nursing Department has not been clear about the waiting list.. I applied to the General College last fall, and when I did so, checked off the Nursing Day program.. Since then I've realized I may need to switch to nights due to financial obligations.. When I went to make the change, I was told I would lose my spot as a fall 07 applicant and get pushed back now that its 9 months later.. How can they expect people to know they're schedules YEARS ahead of time??

Anyway, other than that I'm anxious to get in a program and finish already.. So any thoughts on the RV experience? Good, bad, so-so?

Any other schools that are well-liked by their students? Although I wish money was not an issue, of course it is, so I'm looking for something not incredibly straining on my pocket..

Thanks in advance!!

bump..

So has no one attended RV? I can't believe it.. Is there anyone that can give some input? It would be much appreciated..
Thanks

I havent but I am planning on it! If things work out the way I plan I want to start my pre req in Jan 09. I do have a cousin that goes there and she is also on the deans list I know the waiting list is a pain. I was wondering how do they determine who gets accepted is it a lottery or do they take the students with the highest GPA once you finish your pre req?
