Calling all SOUTHWEST Tennessee Community College Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

I'm waiting to hear as well. I am anxious to get started, but not too worried about getting accepted after reviewing some of the GPA's and NLN scores of others that were accepted. I actually applied for the spring semester before finishing Micro just to see if I would get lucky, but no such luck.

I don't personally know anyone applying this semester that I am aware of. Everyone I know got in this spring, hence the reason I applied without all the pre-reqs.

From what I have heard, the spring semester was one of the most competitive ever. Don't know if that is a trend or an anomaly. Typically the Fall semester is less competitive due to the higher demand for nights/weekends.

As for this thread being less active, that may mean a good thing; less competition. :)

It shouldn't be too long before we hear something now. Classes will be starting before you know it.

I'm in the waiting line too. I just hope I didn't fill out the cell phone number wrong on the applicastion and miss that special phone call. Well, i wish all of you on the thread good luck and hopefully I'll see you in a few months.

Welcome. If you see someone post they were accepted and you haven't received a call saying you were or a letter saying you weren't, then it would be time to call.

thanks for the advise. I am still not sure I will accept even if I do make the cut. My wife is trying to go back to work full-time and if she doesn't get a job then I must keep working. The daytime hours just won't let me do it. I'll either finish up my bachelors or wait for spring. So, we'll see.

Well good luck.

Am I premature by buying books already? I thought I could find some cheap in between semesters. :)

Get this. I get a call from a Mrs. **** from Southwest friday saying that she was unable to locate my transcripts from two other colleges and would need them b/c the selection committee would be making choices for approval on the 14th. She said I could bring her unofficial copies and then resend my official copies later b/c they needed to look at my grades pronto.

Now, they already have recieved my transcripts once when i first started taking classes last summer. So I asked if they had "lost" them. She said "no" we just can't find them and I have people looking for them at the Macon branch but they "just can't find them." So I tell her i will bring her new copies which I had printed off a few months ago from the Southwest website that included my grades from the other two colleges.

So today (Monday) I wake up and get in the car to bring her the copies and call her while driving to make sure I have the right room number for where her office is. She then tells me that "I did not listen to her" and that she told me that I needed to go to the individual universities and get the unofficial copies and then bring them to her. I told her that she was wrong but that i would take off work to go get those copies since they were lost. She corrected me and said they were not "lost", but that they just could not be found....??????????????

So, not wanting to take off work like an ordinary dad who needs money for his children, I then call Southwest and ask for the transcript dept. and tell them that Mrs. **** said my transcripts were "lost". They tell me that i would recieve a call shortly concerning the issue while they do some research. Mrs. **** calls me back 10 minutes later in a bad mood and stated that the transcript dept. called her and said they have my transcripts. She then said I got her in trouble b/c i said they were lost and she never said that. She said it was never lost, but they just could not find them. I replied that the definition of lost is when you have something and are unable to find it. She says I'm wrong and I asked her to look the word up in the dictionary if she really thinks I'm that wrong. She then gets off the phone with me while acting very irritated.

I learned a few things. Either Mrs. **** is not very bright or she is insanely stubborn. Also, she originally said that I wasn't the only one with this problem. So if it happens to you don't follow her advice. Call transcripts first. And finally....the selection process starts the 14th.

Good luck.
