   The wait is truly unbearable. I have had all my fingers and toes crossed since interviewing. No rejection letter and no offer yet. But since I haven't gotten the rejection, I consider myself still in the game!!

   Crystal, I bought the bundle from the bookstore. Plus I got my Fundamentals book online for a couple bucks cheaper than the bookstore. I also just bought my shoes and white pants. Luckily, my mother in law gave me one of her stethoscopes! Lots of ex...

   Nope, no summer break for us at GCC! But, this is the way they save our sanity, I hear. We will have to do this summer session, and also one winter intercession before our fourth semester. But the other breaks, we will have off. From current GCC ...

   SoCalCrystal, I think I felt the same way about GCC vs. COC as you felt about GCC vs. LAVC. Having attended the COC orientation last month, I feel like this orientation with ------------- was much more personable and intimate. She did a good job of...

   Thank you for answering our questions, SoCalCrystal! That's awesome of you. I will go on that camping trip since it is probably one of the last times I can get away with my family before things get super heavy in the Fall! And thanks for the info abo...

   nurseoftheworld replied to Mcfrito's topic in California

   All of the colleges are super competitive! Have you considered retaking some of your science courses to bring up your GPA? I know that it seems like tons of work to repeat, but it will help you a lot when it comes to getting your name drawn. I was...

    Yes, thank you so much for the info, SoCalCrystal! Really appreciate you putting your help out there! I have a question regarding this first round of summer classes...are they really tough since they are short courses, or are they more of "get your...

    Well, I did my drug screen and Live Scan today! Now, just gotta wait until orientation. I am so excited to finally get this show on the road! I declined my seat at COC, I am waitlisted #19 at Pierce, and LAVC hasn't sent out acceptances yet...but ...

12. LAVC Fall 2012

    nurseoftheworld replied to Mcfrito's topic in California

    I applied there, as well as COC, GCC, and Pierce. I got acceptances at both COC and GCC, and am wait listed #19 at Pierce. I don't think LAVC will send out acceptances until June. Long wait, I know. Hope you applied to other schools for back up?

    No prob, Denisenike! With it starting so soon, I wanted to find out as much as possible. I mean, geez, our orientation is a week before we start school?!! I am sure that is where we will find out all the rest...uniforms, name badges, shoes, books.......
