CCBC - N/W Fall 2012 Applicants

U.S.A. Maryland

Published

Hello Everyone,

I am applying to the CCBC Essex nights and weekends program for the fall of 2012. I am hearing all the stories about those either getting in or rejected for the Spring day program. Wanted to maybe start a thread for those whole applying with me and maybe relate to my anxiety! LOL

The whole waiting process blows. But what can you do. At least it's March though. Not too much longer. It would be great if I got into both programs...that would be ideal. We shall see. HCC only accepts 20 students and considering I didn't take my pre reqs there I doubt I'll get in but we'll see. HCC lays out their point system and shows you exactly how they evaluate their applicants. It's based off a 30 point system. CCBC, on the other hand, it somewhat secretive about how they go about their decision process. So why did you end up taking your pre reqs at BCCC instead of CCBC?

You should be getting your postcard soon. That will tell you if they have received everything and that if you have met all the requirements.

Well, I started taking all my classes at BCCC because when I went back to school, that is where my husband was already going. My plan was to actually attend the nursing program there, but they make you jump through a lot of hoops. They make you actually finish the second half of anatomy and physiology before you can even apply. So I called the office and I asked the lady if I actually had to take a semester off before I could go into the program since I wouldn't be finishing A&PII until this semester and she told me yes. I thought it would be stupid and a waste of my time to wait. A girl that I went to A&PI with last semester is going into the nursing program also but said she would be transfering to CCBC. So I looked into it and decided it was a better option for me as well. I like the fact that CCBC doesn't make you completely finish the pre-reqs before applying; you can finish them and apply at the same time. Also, the night and weekend is the only option for me because I work fulltime and cannot afford to stop working to go to school during the day. BCCC only has Day programs. Even now, I take most of my classes online and on Saturday mornings.

hey Jen-

I am here now on the feed!! my application is still not on the ccbc site. They say they are working on it (fixing the site issue). They got all transcripts, but of course, I can't see those either. (I had to call them and they looked everything up for me). so now just waiting, waiting.

Hey Allison, cool. Did you receive your card from CCBC this week? I just received mine yesterday (Wednesday) and it says that everything is okay, my application is being reviewed, and I should get a decision by mail by early May. It's gonna be crazy to wait that long. I think we might get decisions at the same time that A&P is over. It can't come fast enough...:cry:

I got a white card. I had to re-fax them my current schedule. so I prob. will not get the pink card until sometime next week. but I spoke with them, and everything is in now. The card said by mail? so I guess they fixed the glitches of people getting status on their Simon. at least all our stuff is in now.

Hey There! I was in your micro class too and I applied for the N/W fall2012 program as well, I will agree this waiting is a bear...it would really stink to have to wait a whole year to apply again. Can you tell me if you've heard they won't accept you if you're enrolled in speech or math111 at the time ofto application but have all science and other prerequisites and gen ed completed?

Hi Don! Hope all ia well just wanted to say hi. Good luck with everything.

So where did you sit in micro? As far as your classes you'll be fine with not having those classes completed as long as your GPA is solid or have a really good teas score. I believe it's all a point system so the more points you have the better you're off. And although you won't have points for those classes they're not worth nearly as much as your science classes which are most important. I actually just found out I got accepted into the Harford nursing program so that relieves a lot of stress for me. Hopefully CCBC will be the same news for me.

Congrats!!!! So by the sounds of your grades you will likely get into ccbc too, you're probably one of the smartest people I've met there. Have u decided which school you are going to if you get accepted to both?I sat between Don and Laurie (bunniblonde) in lab. Thx for the info about speech, I was stressing. Gpa is solid so I am hoping to get in this year but this wait is killing me!

Thank you. I definitely wanna do CCBC over Harford. I'm hopin that I'm solid enough to get into CCBC. I shoud definitely be but you can never be too confident. So I'm right there with you about the wait. It sucks. But the deadline is Thursday so not much longer. I just hope I can hold off Harford long enough because their program is accelerated and starts may 21st. So I'm cutting it real close. Was CCBC the only place you applied?

Did you have to pay a seat fee or anything? Hopefully when ccbc says May for a final decision they mean the beginning of May not the 31st. Yes, I only applied to ccbc, in retrospect I wish I would have applied to Harford too...but that drive would be a pain.

The drive is a ***** to Harford but it's a great back up. CCBC says beginning of may so hopefully that'll be will be the case. I am unsure of the logistics and seat fee etc. I just found out Friday and the woman called me. I get my packet in the mail this week. So that's when I'll know more.
