Collin College spring 2012 Hopefuls

[cdrouin89]

Hi everyone I couldnt find a thread for Collin college spring 2012 so I thought I would start one. Im so excited, this is actually my 3rd time applying but this time I raised my PSB score and retook 1 class. I know retaking a class is bad but I had to since I had a C, I now have an A in that class. My over all score is a 14. I heard all 15 and 16 got in last semester and some 14 I hope that I will be one of those 14! I know they consider a few other things like residency, where you took your classes, and your PSB score. I took most my classse at collin, live in collin and got a 6 on my PSB. Do you guys think I have a shot? I hope so! I cant wait, does anyone know when we get the letters? I think its the 1st or 2nd week of septembre but im not sure. Anyways Good luck everyone!

@Amaxwell, if you take all of your prereqs at collin college it will take you 3 semesters until you can apply, and you will forfeit your one point on the application process. I was accepted into the spring 2012 class at collin and had 16 points, but there definitely is a lot of people that were accepted with 15 points, so it is possible! But, there is a WAY shorter way to get your prereqs done faster. It costs a little extra money to go to Dallas County Community College, and you might have to drive a little ways, but they have a class during the summer where you can take A&P 1 and 2 during one single summer. A&P 1 is four weeks and A&P 2 is four weeks. The pace seems intimidating when you first think about it, but to me it was easier to take it that way than in a traditional setting. You learned informatino monday-thursday and test on fridays. You don't have time to forget the information, and the teachers and NORTHLAKE are awesome at cutting out the information that is useless and giving you the only NEED TO KNOW facts. I did this last summer and knocked out both in one summer, and got A's in both. I would consider looking into this! I believe there also in an option to take both Anatomys in one semester, like half the semester in A&P1 and the other half A&P 2. Goodluck :)

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if any of you remember the time limits for the PSB? I know reading is 15 minutes. Is the reading composed of 40 questions? Congrats to all that got in! I am applying for Fall 2012.

Hey,

I also put in for Fall of 2012 and I have 15/16 points. Some people on here are saying they got wait listed despite having 15 points....does anyone know why this is? I thought acceptance was done based off your ranking so why would a 14 get in and a 15 be wait listed? I am so anxious and am already stalking the mail man even thought I know I wont get my letter for probably 4 more weeks. Is a 15 an almost guarantee of acceptance?

Other things go into rating the applicants, not just the points. Some of those include PSB scores (particularly the reading), whether you have another degree already (is favorable if you do), whether you live in Collin County and the hours you have taken at Collin.

Good luck!
