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!!!

Me either. I am just curious to know what the reason is behind the denial. I have a pretty good idea it is my Science and Math grades(2 C's and 1 B) and just bein proficient on the TEAS, but I would like to see it in writing anyways.

Did anyone else apply to the LPN program as a back up? I know it isn't ideal, but it is the back door to the RN program because CCBC has an LPN to RN program. I hear so many negative thoughts on doing the LPN thing, but I heard it is just as competitive. Is there anyone that got accepted into the RN program and is not accepting their spot to the LPN (if they are accepted there as well)?

I may not of gotten an automatic acceptance to the RN, but I could still be wait-listed or accepted to the LPN program. :)

Any thoughs, good or bad?

Well my Simon acct finally updated and I am IN at the Catonsville Day program!!!!!!:) After 3 years of taking classes part time, working full time, raising two girls, and being rejected last Fall, I FINALLY DID IT!!!! I am so grateful, the beginning of this journey has been trying, and for those of you who have gotten rejected, or waitlisted, please don't stop trying!

Congratulations Nabisd! and everyone else that was accepted! :)

I hate how CCBC is handling things! I think I am going to be sick! I am trying so hard to stay positive, but it is hard when I have worked so very hard to get to this point. Why can't they just tell me if I am wait-listed or rejected!!! That way I can move on and focus on what I need to do next. I have a feeling I am going to be the only person I know that got rejected 3 times. I just don't get it. I have a good GPA, and I got proficient on the TEAS. UGH! I am so stressed out!

Thanks Kelly! It has definitely been a stressful process! Please keep your head up though, and know that you will get into the program; just keep trying!!!

Student rn2be,

Don't let this ordeal get you down. I know it is easier said than done, trust me, I am the same one who was crying all evening Friday and in the bed sick all day Saturday because I received 4 rejections from 4 schools. Well I was waitlisted at Howard County but she said my chances were only 30% and I was number 7, thats like a rejection to me. I thought that my GPA (3.7) at CCBC was good but I calculated my nursing GPA and it was only like 3.0. I too received proficient on the TEAS but I don't think that is good enough. I know you will feel like 3 strikes you are out, but my suggestion would be (if you really want CCBC) is to go back and retake the teas until you get at least advanced. That is what I plan on doing. I heard that their waitlist is bogus anyway, but I am not sure unless you have like a really low number on the waitlist. I plan on taking at least 1 science to try to pull up my C and math again to pull up my C. I promise you that next year, I will have to choose which out of the 4 schools I want to be graced with my presence. I plan on getting accepted in all 4 (well ok, at least 2 out of 4 lol). :)

I hate how they are handling things too! My Simon still says under review :mad: I'm just hoping that I'll get my letter today because either way I just want to know. But don't worry you are not alone, this is my 3rd time applying as well. And I know exactly how you feel because after I got rejected last time I went and spoke to Gwen Jones, asked her exactly what I needed to do to get in and then did it. So if I don't get in this time I don't know what else there will be left for me to do. I just don't get it. *fingers crossed* for at least getting wait-listed!!!!

For what it is worth......I called today. A message says the letters will go out 5/18 and we should call the office next week if we have questions.

Thank you to those who gave supportive words. I don't know why I said it will be my 3rd rejection. It will be my 2nd. I guess in the back of my mind I am fearful of getting rejected for the LPN program as well. I am a very positive person, but I am having a hard time with all of this.

Well, maybe all of us proficient TEAS students, could get together and start our own study group for the TEAS.

I'm definitely not giving up. I can't let one rejection get me down. Not to mention it's not uncommon that people get rejected the first time so I really took this weekend to sit back and think about it and wonder, "Is this what I really want?" I'm going to finish out this year by retaking a few classes to improve my grades and GPA. I'm also picking up (Intro to) Statistics because if there's a chance they accept that grade over my MATH 111 grade, that could work in my favor. I keep being told to not give up and to do whatever is possible to make my transcript look better next spring and that's what I intend to do.

I'm going to buy the online TEAS practice tests and see what that does for me as well. The study guide is useless, it really didn't cover anything that was on the test. I'd be all for a study group with other people. Let me know, I'm down! :-)
