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 was accepted to SCC's spring 2014, but wish I could have gotten fall 2013! I'm grateful to finally be accepted though, and not rejected all the time!

Good luck to everyone!
Our of curiosity, will you be at the orientation on the 17th?
Hey marissa.denise! Wonder if we could possibly trade?!? I still haven't put in my intent to enroll at SCC just in case I was chosen as an alternate to ARC's program. I haven't heard back so I'm guessing that ship has sailed. Anyone receive actual rejection letters from ARC yet?
Gosh, I am so stoked to have been accepted to the program but along with this awesome news, I am getting really anxious about the financial aspect of it all. I know they discourage you from working but I still really need to. I don't qualify for financial aid/ federal loans and my credit is not the best to get a private loan. Also, I am scrambling to find daycare for my 3 year old. Arrggghhh! I'm trying to tackle it all, one thing at a time. Going into Spring semester would help me out! Sorry... had to vent!

If you haven't already, you should seriously look at getting a BOGW. That gets you at least a tuition waiver, small discount on parking, and a discount on the transit pass. You'll still have books and the like to get, but at least the BOGW is one fee that's off your mind.
