Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

I see what you're saying but I honestly don't think the Nursing Skills counts towards any ranking formula. It wouldn't be fair for them to multiple their GPAs x 11 instead of the normal x 10 for having all the pre and co-reqs done. Does that make sense? ACC is already generous enough towards re-applicants for giving them the extra 5 points.

I was working Seton this weekend and I was talking with another Clinical Assistant who is applying for Fall also and he was telling me that he had a friend who applied with a 4.0, 10 on the HESI, and all the pre and co-reqs done and she got turned down the first time. I don't know whether to believe that or not because I don't know him that well. I just don't see how that is possible really. Like I said, I would've called his bluff but I don't know him well enough to call him out. I was a little pleased when he said he had gotten a "C" in his last pre-req Physiology and that he was applying with barely a 3.0. See how demeted I have gotten!!!

I agree that it wouldn't be fair to count 1105 - but then again, taking apps starting on the 15th when the HESI was on the 18th wasn't particularly fair, either (in my humble opinion). I sort of want to call and ask but I get the feeling the office is a little busy today.

I'm also secretly pleased that your coworker's GPA is only a 3.0 - and I don't even know him!! So that makes me at least as demented as you, if not more so. I hope we all get in for Fall so we can be lunatics together. :)

I can imagine 1105 being counted towards an applicant's overall gpa because it is considered a 1 credit hour course, but to be able to multiply your gpa by 11 doesn't seem likely nor fair. Geez...the wait is killing me!

CHECK YOUR EMAIL! I got my petition at 4:25 this afternoon. I'm registered for the EVC class I wanted, MT evenings.

They had my GPA wrong on my ranking sheet, though. They had a C recorded for a class that I got an A in. (I emailed them and they corrected it immediately.)

I registered for the same section Purkinje, so I'll see you there.

Still waiting for mine......*sigh*

When ya'll emailed them this morning did you get an "Out of Office" reply?

Same here Radiation. I'm still waiting. I did not get an "out of office" reply this morning.

I emailed around 8:15 this morning and it gave me the out of office reply. My mind tells me that I know they still got my email, but my paranoia tells me otherwise.

I emailed them around 10:30 this morning. I've been checking my email all day. I don't know why, but I'm freaking out!

Good Luck to All of You.

I am just starting my last semester (Level 4) of the ADN program. I started in Fall 2008. I will be an RN in May. I did this as a single mom with 6 kids, only 4 at home now. If I can do this so can you! You will go through 8 reams of paper and 8 printer cartridges every semester. Definitely keep refilling the ink cartridges, I go to Walgreen's for mine. You will study like crazy and your GPA will be down the tubes anyway. I had a 3.8 and a BS in Molecular Biology and 8 years experience as a genetic engineer, and this program KILLED my GPA. You will make great friends because you will be thrilled just to pass!

Okay I got my email at 8:24 pm! Are they really there working that late?? So I got my hybrid class! Yay! My boss is going to freak when I tell her that I have to take 4 hours off every wednesday for school again. Oh well!!

Taffy - glad to hear you are in your last semester. I remember reading on here when you had first been accepted. It is great to see you on here again!
