Getting into HCC out of county?

[harborview]

I just realized AACC doesn't have an evening/weekend program, and that isn't going to work for me. How hard is it to get in out of county? I would be applying in Fall of 10'. I have a B.S. and a M.Ed. in another field. My grad gpa was 4.0, undergrad 3.45. I haven't started my pre reqs yet but hope to maintain a 4.0, especially since I'm taking them just one at a time (I have a baby and I'm a SAHM).

Thanks!

At HCC, you must complete the majority of the pre-reqs before applying to the nursing program. When looking at applicants, they first rank according to GPA, then who has completed ALL of the pre-reqs, then out of county. Your best bet would be to complete the mandatory pre-reqs, apply for the nursing program, and while wait-listed, finish the co-reqs. Honestly, there is no way that you can take the nursing classes as well as pre/co-reqs. The classes are just too demanding.

Pre-reqs (must be completed prior to applying to the nursing program:

-Math--College Algebra or higher

-Microbiology

-Anatomy and Physiology 1 & 2

-General Chemistry

-Human Lifespan Development

..."

Thanks for the info!!! I'm really trying to learn as much as I can about the evening/weekend program before I begin. One quick note - - -AP II is listed as a corequisite for the nursing program: http://www.howardcc.edu/admissions/docs/Planning_Sheets/0809healsci/Nursing%2008a.pdf

Either way - - - I wouldn't dare try taking AP II with the Nursing Program.
