American River College Fall 2013 Applicant Pool

U.S.A. California

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 in to SCC for Fall!

Congratulations!!

I know...Im going calender crazy right now trying to make sure everything is where it needs to be. I get to start planning all of this on top of my wedding in August! I guess its good to start practicing the craziness now right?

Congrats!! I actually got married when I started applying and I haven't changed my name yet because I didn't want to risk messing up the applications lol. Now I get to! Yay!!! I am going to wait til orientation though, I just want to make sure it would mess anything up!

It work out perfect that you will get married before school start too! Congratulations! :)

I thought someone punked me when I got my email!! I was looking around as I'm jumping up and down to see who was watching then called all my family to see if they made up the acceptance letter!

I think we all have been right there with you, heylady!

Hi, Sorry the site won't let me PM yet since I don't have enough posts.

I am super excited for orientation... and you're right those are the only things we need to bring. I'm actually glad orientation is as early as it is. It will be nice to meet everyone before we really get going.

I know!! i cant wait to meet everyone! :) i took the day off work so I figured I might as well take care of my drug test afterward. I called lab corp and thy said its walk in only and as long as you make it in by three they will see you that day.

Yea I was planning on doing mine at the one in Sacramento as well. I made the mistake of not calling first and just assuming that the information on their website was correct, and got there 5 minutes too late. The girl working in the one in Roseville (that I went to) was super rude so I am not planning to go back to that one. If I am going to be in Sac anyway I might as well go to the one there.

That sucks! Hopefully the sacramento location will be friendlier!

Is there anyone else on here who is an alternate at ARC for the Fall Semester??

Kathyware! I am an alternate for fall 2013. They've already picked the alternates for fall though. I just received an email from them today about getting a spot in spring 2014 and will receive information in November.
