CCAC Spring 2010

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Just curious if any who have applied have heard if they've been accepted to CCAC Nursing program for Spring 2010 admittance?

Also, does anyone out there know what the likelihood is of getting your fist choice?

OMG!!! This waiting is nerve wracking!!! I also applied for spring day program: CALU is my 1st choice Allegheny is my 2nd. I was going to apply for fall of 2010 but I was able to take the net at the of august, so I decided to go for it and apply now. I am nervous about getting in I think that I am somewhere in the middle I scored around 70 on my net and my GPA is 3.0, I have completed my pre req's and most of my classes. I completed a&p 1 and I am currently in a&p2 & math 108 ( all I will have left is micro, 2 englishes & my elective) I am not sure if I will rank high enough to make the cut. I called north campus to ask how many applicants would be accepted at CALU and they told me 80 and then I asked about Allegheny and she said 80 so I am assuming 80 for each which translates into 80 x 5 = 400 applicants accepted ( because of day/evening at both Boyce and Allegheny ) I know that I read on this thread they got about 600 apps. but 20 - 30% are rejected for being incomplete so that drops the number of apps to around 420 - 480 so most of us should get in..........I hope! I did schedule my spring classes just in case I don't get in..........I was sad to hear that they are pushing back notification even more.:o I think that I will also call tmrw or thursday to see what they tell me I will let u know if they say something different.....Hopefully they will send letters and someone will get 1 before I call...LOL..............Betty BTW I am glad to meet others who are waiting anxiously like me..........

caution with your math...

You can look on line at NRN 101 and see how many lecture seats there are at each campus (CALU was missing last I looked). There is about 90 TOTAL seats per campus (Allegheny and Boyce) and if CALU is 80 then total seats are closer to 260 seats.

We are a bit more than a week away from finding out. Best of luck to all, hope to see everyone here in class!

Thanks for the info, everyone! I called a while ago just to make sure they had my application (because I see that they've "lost" them before) and they told me they had it, but thats all they would say! They need to send the letters out ASAP! This is sloooowwwllyy driving my crazy!!:lol_hitti Good Luck to everyone!

I feel everyone's pain! I hope somehow posting this will be cathartic - I am so sick of checking the mail constantly. Usually I am fairly calm but this is a life and career altering event. I feel confident in my qualifications (91% on the NET, 3.9 GPA, B in A&P) but I am rather nervous that I missed some paper or prereq in my application. I'm not sure if I can wait until November! I wish I could contribute something useful, but certainly I wish everyone here the best of luck. :up:

I was able to spend some time today with someone in the nursing program. The little I was able to ascertain is the master list has not been generated yet, they expect that list in the next few days. From that list, the letters are mailed out. Each campus is expecting to fill all open seats, there may be a wait list for those who either pass on the seat or do not meet the entry qualifications.

So, you can read into that at your campus, someone in the nursing department will have the master list before the letters are mailed. If you have a relationship with the nursing secretary, you may get an edge and not stress out looking for the mail.

I too have been checking my mail everyday religiously for the past week! I'm going insane waiting. I'm getting nervous though because I haven't taken ap2 or micro yet. Allegheny is my first choice and my only option (i don't have a car, can't afford to move).

Good Luck Everyone!

Don't worry, i'm in A+P 1 now and haven't taken micro yet either. They say it's good to have all the non-nursing classes done ahead of time, but it's not required :specs:

Ok! I am in math until noon and then I have dr. lax from 12:30 until 1:30. I can meet you after your lab or at 1:30 after my class. Either way works for me, let me know which one works better for you. How is a&p 1 going? I love a&p 2! I got a "B" in a&p 1 so far I have an "A" in a&p 2.
