CCBC, Fall 2011 Applicants =)

Published

Hello Everyone,

Here we go again! This is my second time applying to CCBC's nursing program. I look forward to chatting with everyone as we wait for the GOOD news! I believe things happen for a reason! I have good faith that Fall 2011 is going to be my turn for acceptance. I guess we will see if I am right.

For anyone who was not accepted this Spring, we can be a great support system for each other :).

GOOD LUCK!!!

hi all1872,

welcome! ccbc sends out a pink card saying, "your application is under review and you will be notified about decisions around mid-may." i applied for this spring and did not make the cut. the wait is a killer. good luck to you.

I haven't gotten a pink card and was kinda freaking out (I sent in my app in January). I called the Essex campus and the administrative assistant (I think her name is Patty - very nice lady) checked for me and assured me that my applicaiton was there and complete and ready for review. Whew! Now just have to wait for 8 flippin weeks to hear back...:uhoh3:

I hear ya'. I have called over there a few times for different things. I wonder if they get sick of us calling?! :rolleyes: It must be crazy this time of year for them as well, but 8 weeks feel like forever for us. I would be pretty disappointed if I didn't get in, but not devastated. I am still taking my A&P II and Micro so that may be to my disadvantage, even though I am working on A's in both. I have not taken any courses at CCBC ( it sounds like they get some priority), so maybe I am not at the top of the list. I did well on TEAS, but that is only part of it. Oh well...lots to consider and ya' just never know how they will look at the cohort. I am applying to the evening/weekend program so don't have a lot of choices in Maryland (although CCBC has a good rep so I am pretty fortunate).

I spoke with L. Simmons (Director of school of health professions) on Friday. She said now that the nursing applications are online, they are getting about 50 applications a week! Yikes!!! They won't have a final count until after the deadline; it is much more than the previous years. I hate the wait already!

I just called today and they said mid-may... ARGH ... I met with Gwen Jones (nurse adviser) about a month ago, and she said about 4-6 weeks for notification. I'm hoping for sooner rather than later!

I just called the selective admissions office, they said there are around 500 applicants this time around! Yikes! That is a lot of competition!

OMG! I am SICK to my stomach...I am assuming that this is collectively for the entire program (Essex and Catonsville; online, night and day). This completely sucks. I am worried with a 4.0 and relatively good TEAS scores. I have no back up plan...

500??! Oh well...guess I can think about Plan B now! Oh that's right..there is no Plan B!

That's a lot of applicants. Is Gaelros' point possible-that the 500 is for all programs combined? I really hope so. Even so you have to figure that at least a third of applicants have no chance but just throw the application in anyway; some have other first choices, so it narrows it down a bit. (Ok so that really doesn't make me feel better either).

I still have not received my pink card and I submitted my app in mid-Februrary. Anyone else in the same boat?

I do not have a 4.0, but TEAS was good. I went to an undergrad school years ago that experimented with intermediate grades (A, A/B, B, B/C etc..) so if you received an A/B, it transfers as a B, even though the original grade was really a low A. ...that does not help my GPA. Very frustrating. My current pre-reqs are all A's but they won't, unfortunately, see the grades from this semester, so I am really not sure where I stand overall.

I really wish I could concentrate on something other than waiting for my acceptance/rejection notice. Mid-May is sooooo very far away.

Yes, that is the # of applicants for Essex and Catonsville's day, evening, and online programs.

Im trying to figure out how many of us applied to which program... I applied to the Essex Evening and Weekend program. I was told that more people apply to the day program- any idea if thats true??
