Tarrant County College Acceptance Letters

U.S.A. Texas

Published

I have officially turned into a basket case. Since I have found out that people got their letters around April 17th last year and that orientation is scheduled for May 4th this year, I have become obsessed with the mail like everybody else. Today, I kept peeking out the window and eyeing the mail box like a hawk until I had to leave to go to class. Of course, the mailman was late today (because he knows that I'm waiting on that letter). Then I called my husband right before class and right after class, even though I knew he was busy, and tormented him until he went out to check the mail. I was so disappointed that I didn't hear anything today. I was sure that I would get a letter from TCC in the mail. Oh well! I guess I will repeat the process tomorrow! What a let down!

Thanks for the info, txspadequeen. Were you able to have a life at the same time, lol!

As for the school -- this is a crazy busy time for them, in their defense. My fingers are still crossed!

Zanibo -- I took her Spring '06 and Fall '06. I guess we missed each other! Did you take any other nursing classes at TCC-NE?

The only other class I took at NE was Micro...and that was only for a few weeks in the Fall of '05. I was pregnant and got diagnosed with gallstones. We weren't allowed to miss more than one lab without losing major points so I just dropped it. Oh well...looks like we did just miss each other!

honey, with 6 kids i wouldn't have a life if i was not taking classes..so i wouldn't know the difference. but it is one of those things i committed the entire 6 weeks to and got in the book ,became all about the subject and before i knew it it was over. chem was more challenging ,i took the book to the bathroom during that class... the hardest class i took was micro and that was at the south campus with the vet.. i got a b and let me tell you she let me know i was dang lucky to get that...

It's so hard to get into those online classes though -- you better get up bright and early on registration day! :) I wonder when they'll start adding more sections of that. It seems really popular.

I'm going to take Micro with Matthi this summer, so I've heard he's a good teacher. I'll just have to buckle down and soak up some major microbiology in just a few short weeks!

i was always up at 6 am with my section numbers ready to put in. these classes were filled within 5 min.. you must be fast and then if you don't get in you must monitor and monitor until you find one. look the day they drop students for non-payment you can probably get in then... i am having to do this for a darn math class..stat's i cant get in an online class to save my life. i am thinking about taking at dcccd....

txspadequeen, are you taking statistics over the summer or this fall? I just finished taking it at the Southeast campus with Costello. She is awesome. She explains everything step-by-step. I'm not sure if she is teaching it over the summer, but she will be teaching it in the fall. Do you try to take most of your classes online? I'm just finishing Nutrition via television, and I took Speech online last fall. I love distance education.

i have to take it online but if by chance i get to take it on campus, ill take your advise. i will be taking it over the summer cause i plan on being either at el centro or twu in the fall... i took nutrition in 1994 but it was long before i was a nurse and had a good understanding of life so i made a c. i want to re-take the course to get a a so who do you reccomend or is it just one teacher for the online class.

Sorry, I didn't mean online. I meant ITV. I took the TV Nutrition class with Blackman. I have an A in there and haven't found it to be very difficult. I watched the first two lectures, and haven't watched any since then. You have a review sheet for the test, and as long as you look up that info and study it a little bit, you'll get an A. You can buy all the lessons on DVD at the bookstore. When I started the class, I had satellite and not cable, so I bought the DVDs. I haven't even watched them. The review sheets are online with the course booklet. The ITV course grades are also posted online. So, it has been a positive experience for me.

Well, I hope you enjoy your Statistics class. It's not too bad. College Algebra was worse. Anyway, good luck with your classes this summer.

i'm in algebra right now and hope to get out with a c....but its my 5th time taking it. now i have taken itv history and made c's on both of those. it seemed hard and so much information to cover. i thought about re-taking those online and see if i can get a a... glad to know stats is easier than algebra...cause i have to have that class for any bsn program...

I took stats online from TCC, and got an A in it. It was tough though, because the course was not well organized.

txspadequeen -- are you still waiting to hear from El Centro? I heard today that they still had openings in the bridge program. It might be worth the drive to talk to someone.
