CCP Fall 2011

I'm still waiting on mine. What was your point score? Mine was an 8 but I am still really stressed about being accepted and being that I haven't gotten a letter yet, the anxiety is beginning to become unbearable!

I am also waiting on my letter and have an 8! I really hope they can accept all 8s!! I can't take the wait any longer. Hope we hear something soon.

I had 9 points. When I went to the orientation the lady told me that people with 8's and 9's usually have no problem getting in. Its the 7's that are borderline. She also said that they don't look at anyone's application until after Jan. 15, so if you applied later you have the same chance as those who applied early. In older threads some people didn't receive their acceptance letters until March so I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't received it yet.

I was also told that they usually send out the majority of the rejection letters first and then begin to accept based on the 7,8,9 point system. I'm hoping this is good news for me. I didn't apply anywhere else as I was sure I would be in the 9 point range! But I was told too that 8's usually get in, so hopefully this week I can come back with good news!

Yes this is the only place I applied also thinking having an 8 would be no problem. But I was Also told that the longer you wait for the letter the better!!! I am having extreme anxiety I really hope I can post good news on here also! Good luck other number 8.

Hello! I am pretty positive I had 7 points on the point system, and I was accepted into CCP's program. I also have my bachelor's from Temple, and I took classes at CCP. I have also been accepted into Abington's program... any thoughts or advice on which program is better? I have heard great things about both!

Congrats on your acceptance! I have also heard great things about both programs. I know Abington is affiliated with the hospital so that may be a plus if you are interested in working there after graduation. I think both programs are two years long and they both have good NCLEX pass rates (Abington's is a little higher). CCP is a little cheaper (I think), but both schools offer financial aid. I'm sorry I'm not much help with comparing the two schools, but I'm sure you'll get a good education no matter what you decide.

Abbington has a good track record..A little bit higher than CCP. But if you have all the means, If I were you I would rather choose the Abbington. They also hired their own graduates, In this current economic situation a lot of nursing graduates are having problems finding a job. Just my own personal thought...Think ahead...

I just found out I was accepted into CCP's Nursing program for the Fall '11 semester! They changed my major on my enrollment profile to Nursing effective Fall '11 yesterday evening and again, I know they send out the letters on Friday. I'll be seeing my fellow "acceptees" come the fall!
