American River College Fall 2013 Applicant Pool

Published

I haven't been to any of the Multicriteria meetings on the new application process for American River College but I have a question:

If ARC is selecting students from the top 30% of applicants and automatically giving top 30% spots to those who have applied 5 or more times, does this mean that the top 30% will be made primarily of those who have applied 5 or more times?

Does it mean that you need an even higher score to be put in the top 30%/one is less likely to get a spot in the top 30% based on the multicriteria score? Or is it the top 30% of the multicriteria scores AND 5+ time applicants are included in the selection pool?

I hope some of this makes at least a little sense :)

I got picked for fall too! When you turn in your acceptance, the lady on the office it super nice, just ask her. I'm sure there will be some one who wants to switch ;)

I just picked up my info packet. IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!

Hello, first time poster here. I just got into the Fall 2013 nursing program at Sierra College.

Anyone here going there?

I just found out that I am an alternate for ARC, not 100% sure but I think that means I get into Spring 2014 for sure??
