Any Waubonsee CC students out there?

I recently finished the WCC nursing program and the most important thing is that you have all the requirements met. You have to be finished with all the prerequisite courses before they accept you but you can apply while still taking them. I did just that and only had to wait one quarter between my A&P 2 class and starting the program. The letter of acceptance takes awhile to come but from my experience it wasn't so hard to get in. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I will be finished my pre-requisites by December, and am preparing to apply for the January/March 2010 session. So when you say "one quarter", do you mean I may be accepted for March or have to wait until September?

If you are done with prereqs in December, you might get in by March. That's what my experience was but it could be different now. Also I applied while I was still in my last prereq. A quarter is half a semester or an 8 week session. Each nursing class lasts 8 weeks. Make sure you have all other requirements done too like your entrance exam, doctor visits etc. Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Does Waubonsee accept out of district students to their Nursing program?

CDNtobe · Nov 2, 2009

They do accept them, but there is a huge priority when you are in-district.

Thanks.

COD is a lot harder to get into the program than Waubonsee.

Has anyone heard from Waubonsee about spring 2010 acceptance???

Letters STARTED going out last Friday. We havn't heard, and have been waiting 8 months! :uhoh3:

I got my letter this past Saturday and got in for January 2011!! Woohoo!

Currently there is a full semester waiting period after you apply with all your prereqs completed.

CDNtobe · Nov 4, 2010

I finished my prereqs in December 2009, but had already applied for spring 2010 in the fall of 2009. The full semester wait period begins after you apply with all prereqs actually completed, which was my spring 2010 application. So, I did not get in for fall 2010, but did for spring 2011. In July 2010 when I received my rejection letter, the nursing secretary told me there were 120 people waiting just like I was. When did you finish your prereqs?

That's very worrisome. He's prereqs were done last summer2010, applied for fall 2010. and has applied for Winter 2011. Still has heard nothing and has waited a full semester. So he'd have to wait a full year? I think that's BS.
