CCBC - N/W Fall 2012 Applicants

Published

Hello Everyone,

I am applying to the CCBC Essex nights and weekends program for the fall of 2012. I am hearing all the stories about those either getting in or rejected for the Spring day program. Wanted to maybe start a thread for those whole applying with me and maybe relate to my anxiety! LOL

I can only imagine the stress they are under. And on top of sorting through all of the applicants they have to deal with a bunch of crazy neurotic people all calling or emailing to ask the same questions over and over! LOL! - Ahem... I guess I am at least speaking for myself

I just really wish they could do it faster. It seems like at least a few other schools let you know something sooner. I know 2 people that attend other schools in 2 different counties and they have already received their acceptance letters.

Do they tell you what you were rejected for? I am mentally preparing myself for if I don't get in this first round....but I'm still gonna feel devastated! LOL!

No, it was just a very generic letter about how I met the minimum requirements for acceptance, however the applicant pool was too competitive. It seriously was a huge blow but after that I started focusing on BSN requirements.

That's what I plan to do if I don't get in this round. I also plan to take 1 more class this fall so that I can apply to the Respiratory Therapy program as a backup plan. Hopefully it won't come to that.

yes i have a friend going there as well and he said he loves it there... i called in and they have all my stuff... they just told me that experiance does not count AT ALL... and i have 2 years of direct patient contact, so that kinda sucks for me...and djsage i have the same scores as you with teas and GPA so i think were both going to be put in the same pool of applicants (which will hopefully be accepted!) and to everyone else also!

it really is a shame they don't consider experience because i'm sure that would make the applicant pool less competitive. but it's also one of those things where you can't fault people for not having experience. i'm right there with you nps07, i have 5 years of direct patient contact. :-(

I use to live at ccbc but then I decided i needed a plan B so I started taking classes at Bccc the chemistry they required is good for howard county and coppin bsn program.I have been accepted at Bccc and dont have the anxiety of needing ccbc to move forward

yeah I'm certainly looking at bccc as well... I'm signing up for the chem class in april for the summer and applying there if i don't get ccbc, but i would much rather have ccbc as the bridge to towson as it is much better than a bridge to coppin state... I'm already a student at towson so it would simply be better to attend ccbc for my nursing course work and then transfer in 90 credits from CC :) rather than do 60 credits at a university paying 500 a credit as opposed to 100 a credit at CC..

You have to do what absolutely works for you. Good luck either way

Thanks Lauri about Harford. I am very excited about that because it takes the pressure off of getting into CCBC. I prefer CCBC over HCC but at least I know no matter what I am in nursing school.

Congrats rngraduate for getting into BCCC. So is that your first choice or is CCBC?

I agree with you all that May is a long ways away. Even though it's really only a month, but when we obsess like we do it take twice as long. Can't believe we can't see our applications online either so it'll take a little longer to find out because we will have to wait for the letters. :banghead:

I have heard of some people seeing seat fees posted to their accounts before getting their letters. It might be a way of finding out a little sooner if you were picked anyways. Beats having an anxiety attack going to the mailbox every day. Just have one logging onto the computer instead

Oh I'm definitely checking my account for the seat fee. Hopefully that trick still works. Lauri, are you taking classes this semester?

Yup, A&PII. Hopefully that won't be too big of a strike. Hopefully everyone will log on and see their seat fees posted soon :0) Wishful thinking!
