How long will the wait be for MCC with only ONE choice?

Hi! I am finishing my last pre-req right now and will be able to submit my application for the December application period! I only want to go days and wanted to only have MCC days as my choice. I need to take BIO202, BIO 205, CHM 130 and HCR 240 to be able to apply to the ASU cep program. How long do you think the wait would be if I only put one choice for the program I would be willing to do? I am nervous if I put other colleges and programs, I will be admitted sooner than I could finish my CEP pre-req's.

I am new to the nursing pool and applying to CEP this December. I was told from both Maricopa and the university that I should be able to start the CEP this coming summer and Block one in the Fall (2017) so that is technically a 2 semester wait but I am in university classes for one of those 2 semesters. From Nursing pool to letter will be about 6 months.

What are your particulars - are you applying for a CEP program? I believe that helps the pace as you already have more done and they really don't want you sitting around for that long. Also the diffrent Maricopa programs reserve seats for the CEP vs the ADN so you may look at the proportions and adjust your preferences if you haven't seen the newest numbers there. (Mesa is 85% CEP spots - 100 total spaces) I hope this helps!

I applied with a time stamp of July 11, 2016. The absolute soonest I would start CEP or ADN is Fall 2017, unless multiple people turn down their choices is what I was told by the hotline people and my advisor. I applied to MCC both CEP and ADN.

(it only takes one choice to say you'll accept placement in either CEP or ADN per the Maricopa nursing folks)

The CEP program is the same wait - because even more people are applying to it, so that compensates for the slightly more spots. I told my advisor that frankly I didn't care which program I applied to - or which campus that I just want to start ASAP and asked her where to go. She said that among the centrally located campuses (SCC, PVCC, MCC and GWCC) it didn't matter.

The only class I can still take is pathology... I'll be done with all the other co-req's and CEP classes for ASU/NAU at that point...

I would recommend putting down more than 1 school when applying because you don't always get your first choice and they look at the other schools you have selected. Also ASU has changed their requirements for the CEP program so I recommend you look on the Maricopa Nursing website for their updated brochure. They actually do not require HCR240 anymore!
