   I just got back from my Micro class @ Truman. Three of my class mates received acceptance emails DURING the 2 hour class. Another 3 had received acceptance emails just before class. One of my class mates talked to Dr Gurney today, she said she was pe...

   Hey Sci Geek, I kind of wanted to say the same thing about Hanwintings post, but didn't have the guts you have. We're entering a field where I feel a sense of solidarity is necessary, and there is no room for elitism. If we're working together some d...

   I've been to both, the main difference I've seen is the bathrooms at Truman smell worse, and I didn't see as many drug deals going on as I've seen DIRECTLY across the street from Truman. My first day of class, two people were shot at the bus stop at ...

   Well, I got into Truman, but I'm only a few blocks away. I heard from more than one source (including Dr Gurney) that the reason behind all the changes being made is to make all CCC programs ONE program with six different locations. Equal in all but ...

   I just got my email at 9:20 pm and I got in. I think the emails are just going out a bit slow. Dr Gurney seems to be contacting people individually... that's a lot of emails to send. If you have not heard yet, don't despair, your acceptance may be on...

   I've been frustrated by the process also. Lets remember though that we have a small group of folks at CCC district and branch colleges dealing with the hopes and dreams of thousands. I believe they got into the field they are in because they want to ...

   Hearing your experience from last year zbb, I wonder again if we'll even hear today? I hope I'm not still sitting here at midnight, waiting for the inbox to chime.

    I agree with you both Scigeek and N2B. I might give it more like 80% chance of being as totally screwed up as the application process. I think the fact that you are here posting at 1/4 til 1 am says a lot. Despite what happens tomorrow, we'll all be ...

    Only thing... Considering how screwed up the whole process has become, what are the chances tomorrow passes with NO emails? And we find a note posted on our nursing board saying "APPLICATION PROCESS EXTENDED TILL...

    Hey all, I just found this sight, read through the thread, signed up. All the speculation, indignation, frustration, and anticipation ends tomorrow. I too am anxious, I'm sure we all are. Good luck too you all, God love you all for so assiduously pur...
