hey jellybean, i applied for the fall in 2007 and did not get in because my gpa was way low, i'm talking 4 c's and 1 b in a&p2. so mrs.N told me i wasn't even competing academically (hope i spelled that right) well anyways, i took 4 classes over and made 3 A's and 1 b, so i have a 3.5 in prereq. and i think only a 2.6 gpa overall. but when i talked to a lady in the nursing office, she told me that having a medical background and if you have taken all your classes with them will help. (i have been a dialysis tech for 14 years) she said they were considering their students first then transfer students (if there are any, because many missed the deadline) in 2007 the gpa cutoff was 3.4 and 3.7 for the fall because of all the transfer students and i heard from a nurse in this forum (don't remember who) who says she doubts if the gpa is that high for spring 09 (maybe like 3.4 again hopefully) but will go back up for fall 09 because of the transfer students returning. so it sounds like we have a good chance for spring 09 because of wccc enforcing the transfer rule. whew, gotta catch my breath!!! i'm just so excited and scared at the same time that when the letter comes i;m going to pass out!!! pleeezze write back with your thoughts

Hi Lunden, You feel excatly like I do. Our chances do look good for Spring 09 Whew Who! I'm claiming it but at the same time I don't know. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I guess I'm still imtimdated from the Fall 08 term. I was told that they won't start looking at healthcare experience until the Fall of 09. If they are looking at in now then that's even better. Good Luck and I hope we can be in the same classes so we can work together. I just don't what to do with myself while I wait. I guess I'll start Christmas shopping to keep my mind of the wait, but I'm excited just for the fact that October is almost here.

Lunden,
I am very anxious. I left the meeting Aug. 26 feeling like I forgot to do something. I did hear a lot of people saying the GPA would be lower this time. When I was waitiing to turn in my application I was peeking at the grade others had and I seen a lot of people applying with Cs. Not just one C but two or three. So I think our chances are much higher.

I completely understand where you are coming from when you say you are excited and scared. I am in the same boat. I hope October flies by so we can get our Happy Letters. Good Luck and hopefully we will be meeting in person in the next few months at orientation.

Hi Lunden, I losing my mine with waiting again. I still so imtimidated for not getting in for Fall, because the GPA cutoff was so high. I guess I'm just scared that it will happen again. I really need to start in January, because I have nothing left to take. I also don't want to have to do the whole application process over again, because this was my second time applying. I also staying positive. Like everyone keeps telling me claim it and it's yours so I keep telling myself I got in. Good Luck to all the Spring 2009 Hopefuls. We will rock!

Hey I'm in the same boat as you all. I applied on sept. 15 and was shocked at the turnout, no more tha 50 people, I've read that maybe 60 was at the first meeting and 75 at the last. So that makes our chances even higher at getting in. Considering that 400 or 500 is the normal turnout! I have high hopes and now we just wait. Good luck to you all

I agree 100%! October is lasting forever! I am hoping for an early November letter also. I'm fighting the temptation to call the nursing office and see how far along they are...
