Oh and as an afterthought, I looked up book prices on chegg.com and they are wayyyy cheaper. They rent the books to you, but you have the option to buy it at anytime. So some of the books you may only use one semester you can just send back and if you think you'll need it they just charge you the difference. And I have a coupon code that saves 5% on rentals and gets you an extra $5 on buybacks. It's CC107789.

@rileyoscarfish >> ordered my books >>> $800! And I don't think I got them all... think I left out 2 required books... we'll see how all that goes down. lol. I did order them on Amazon, much easier to do, and cheaper than the book store on most new books.

I haven't started on the math questions yet... I am still trying to finish up A&P II and I have 2 online classes I need to start!!! Sheesh!! I will be going crazy. But I am going to try and take a look @ that soon.

@zaxiom >>> Everyone that I know that got in, got into the Spring semester all had scores on the PAX from 110 - 120's, I did as well. Not sure how helpful this is, but might give you some clue. Also, everyone that I know that applied got in... so I don't think there are 2 slim of chances. JCTC told me they accepted 80 in spring and 80 in fall semester and there was no waiting list. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the book advice... it is my understanding these books will be used for the next 2 years... so my only option is really to buy.

@lilmomma thanks for the heads up. I'll just mind my p's and q's and hopefully all will be well. As far as the book situation, the only advantage I have to renting them is that there is an option to buy at any time. So I can spend just a little at the beginning of the semester and then when I get my financial aid check I pay for the rest and it's still hundreds less than that B&N bullcrap. Thanks so much for the info! Be sure to post how the semester plays out :)
