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 :)
Hi, This is my first Post, but my 6-7-8x applying. Its a bit confusing how that is possible but just to explain, I applied the first time Eight semesters ago with a paper application. It was recieved and I was qualified! yeah! Then AR switched to a computerized selection and I did not return the cover page. oops disqualified. I had to start over. 3rd time applying I did it right and was again qualified! yeah. Here we are now and this is my 6x in a row as qualified, 7th time as qualified and 8x applying. Im praying I did everything right to remain qualified but this waiting and checking is killing me!

Well the good news is you should be automatically in the selection pool :)

Once everyone gets qualified, they will do the selection...I think the ones who get picked find out first, so I am thinking the lucky ones might know something next week.... Fingers crossed!!!!
Is anyone going to the SCC info meeting on the 29th? I wish we could call in haha... I'm not gonna go, but I'm very curious about what the deal is for the Extended Campus program...
