Hi Everyone!!! I didn't see a thread for Fall 2019, so I figured I'd get the ball rolling. This is my first time applying to both SCC and ARC. I turned in my paper packets on 2/11 and 2/13. SCC updated my status to received this morning. I plan to also apply at Delta, but would really prefer acceptance at ARC or SCC.

I applied to Sierra, SCC and ARC and Yuba. I didnt get selected for any lottery! It's very frustrating. I busted my but to get those marks while being a mom to 4 kids. I would strongly suggest that you apply to Yuba college. They use a merit based acceptance system...the top 30 scores get in. We had orientation a few weeks ago and I was very impressed with the facility, instructors and caliber of students. You have worked too hard to leave the next step of your dreams in the hands of a lottery!
I don’t think I can commute. I have a 13 month old and I barely get any help to watch him. It will be hard for me to study let along spend hours on commute
I’m going to try my luck with Chamberlain which is walking distance from me.

I think chamberlain puts more emphasis on the hesi vs gpa. I was accepted last year with a 3.7. Many other ppl I talked to had similar GPAs but only ppl with higher Hesi scores were offered a seat. It’s easier than the TEAS and Kaplan imo. Brush up on your basic bio for it. Good luck

I have all As and scored high on the TEAS :*( I just can’t stop crying at this stupid random system. It’s all a game. My career is not up to me but up to chance.
Don't give up hope. We will all get in somewhere! I will be applying to Solano in September and reapplying to ARC and SCC next year. We will get there, it is our DREAM! Take a breath and pick yourself up and keep going! Our time will come!!

Relocating isn’t an option as we have a business here.
I am in the process of applying to Chamberlain.
