Collin College Spring 2013 applicants

Published

I recently applied to the nursing program for Spring 2013 but have not been a student at Collin College. I have heard numerous things about how you get accepted, the importance of the PSB score, whether or not you have a degree, etc. Anybody out there in the same boat as me? Wondering what's true and what isn't? I was also told we should get letters in the mail some time around September 11 either being accepted or rejected. True?

Any knowledge on this would be great!

So sorry girl! You're on the waiting list though, right?

My letter didn't come today. I heard some of the letters went out Friday and a batch on Monday. I'm not sure why they would have done that (or if they really did.) Has anyone gotten good news yet?

I'm in a panic now because I didn't get my letter today and am about to call up to the office to make sure my paperwork didn't get lost. It makes me feel better that some other people didn't get their letters in the mail today either.

mrsrntobe, don't give up hope yet I have had a couple different friends get in off of the waitlist!

I didn't get mine ashnix21 and I called the office. The lady told me that I should check the mail tomorrow. She also said a few letters didn't go out until yesterday. Geez!!

I received my letter, there was an error on my transcript that put me at 13 points instead of 14 so I was turned down. Last time I applied I had 12 points and was wait listed, this time I wasn't even wait listed :(

Rebekahmae19, I'm sorry to hear that your points were messed up. I am SO worried about that happening. Don't they have someone double-checking points? Geez.

Pepper35 did you get your letter today? I called and they verified my address and said they had sent a letter... fingers & toes crossed that it comes tomorrow. I don't think I can stand much more waiting!

Rebekahmae19... I wonder if the wait list situation changed with the new director taking over, meaning perhaps everyone isn't automatically wait listed anymore. I would make them change my points to 14 maybe then you would be at the top of the wait list!

Has anyone heard of anyone getting an acceptance letter today? Everyone I know who got letters today were turned down. (One was even a 15.) I wonder if the Monday letters were the acceptances?

A 15 got turned down.. EEEK.. that makes me nervous!! I only have 15 points! I wonder how they choose between people with the same amount of points.

I graduated from Collin May 2011. There are multiple tie-breakers in cases of ties.

For those freaking out about the mail - the nursing dept has to mail items through the college. All letters are routed from all campuses to the Spring Creek Campus, then mailed out. That may be why it's taking some time.

It's hard, and I was there once too, but be patient. The letters will come. Good luck.
