WCCD Changes to Application Process for Fall 09 Admission


Hi everyone just wanted to inform anyone who might be applying to WCCCD for this January or for Fall 2009. I attended an information meeting on September 10th and boy have they made some changes to the admission process. First off you must have completed 12 credits hours for January and future admissions. They changed this because students complained about their open door policy. Next the deadline dates have changed for Fall 2009 admissions the deadline date is February 26th and for January 2010 admissions June 30th. Next the NET scores and GPA requirements have changed. You must now have a mininum score of 59 on reading and a 2.8 GPA in Pre-Req's to be considered, Although most of us are already over that anyways. Now for the bigee admissions willbe based on a 100 point scale based on the following:Pre-Req's GPA, completion of Co-Req's courses, NET scores, essay, reference letters and prior health care experience. Even if you have transferred credits from another college you still most have the 12 credit hours at WCCCD. Hope this helps. These changes were a[pproved by the Michigan Board of Nursing! Question for anyone does anyone know how many people applied @ the September 15th application meeting just curious!

It will start for Fall 2009 admissions. Meaning you would need that score on your NET by the February 26th Deadline.

I haven't heard of how many people were at the september 15th application meeting. The only thing that is required for Spring 09 is the 12 credits hours everything else doesn't take affect until the Fall 09 admission term.

My friend applied on Sept. 15 and was there for about 20 minutes. She said there were maybe 30 people but more people where coming in as she was leaving. She said that the Sept. 15 meeting was set up differently than the Aug. 26 meeting. The Sept. meeting had two lines one to get the application and one to turn it in. She said there were about three to four people there making sure people had all their stuff when turning it in. I wish there were people there to do that at the Aug 26 meeting.

hey just wanted you to know i was at the aug.26th meeting to and i left feeling like i still forgot to fill out something on the app. the waiting has been a killer. i was wondering how many people had applied on sept.15 and how many will be applying on the 30th. it seems to be a very low turn out applying for the spring of 09 must be because of the 12 credit policy. good luck to you as well as your friend, who knows hopefully we'll all get in for jan 2009, i wouldn't mind having some friends whose going to be going through the same thing.

Hi Lunden, Jellybean had posted that on Sept. 15 her friend attended and 30 people were there, but she said her friend stated that people were still coming in as she left. My friend is going on Sept 30th so I will let you know how many she said are applying. The turnout does seem lower, but we have to take in consideration all of those people who are reapplying like me. I applied for fall this semseter so I am praying for a miracle. I have been having mightmare while waiting. I just don't want to be that same disappointing letter as I did this pass July. Is this your first time applying? I just really hope and pray that the GPA cutoff is not 3.7 again, because that is crazy. I least hope I am an alternate this time so I could have something to lookk forward to. And yes I am looking for friends to go through the experience with me. I wonder what GPA's is applying that's what's getting to me. I have a 3.52 it went down a little, because I got an B in Med Math. I applied the first time with a 3.53 not much, but you'll be surprised at what 1 point will do. I just look at it like all those who apllied for this Fall and got in had between 3.7's and 4.0's and alternates had 3.6's my friend was an alternate and she said the lowest was a 3.61 so I try and think of it like all those people reapplying have less. Good Luck Sorry, but I just had to vent. So much to think about.
