Collin College

Hi,

I am already in the CCCCD nursing program, and wanted to share my experience. When I applied I had 15 points with a GPA of 3.9. As the DON for the College will tell you, historically people with 14's will get in. However, I did hear that for the incoming students for fall 09, that very few 14's made it into the class. They do look at your GPA, as that is figured into part of your points, however you accrue points for prereqs completed and the higher the grade the more points, and also, a good amount (6) points come off of the entrance exam. There is a tremendous amount of competition to get in, and there are only 48 slots available.

Talk with the nursing advisor and she will be able to help you figure out what you need to do.I hope this answered some of your questions and I wish you the best of luck!

Yeah, I know a lot of those points come from the test! I was lucky to get all 6 for it...

oooppsss...I forgot to add the points from completing classes...

So I'm actually applying with a 14/15

Thanks for the info! What year did you apply?

i applied for the spring 2010 program, but i think i may have to really try hard with the psb exam. i only had 10 points.

Have you taken the PSB?

Just letting anyone who applied to Collin County know that I called the Nursing office on Friday and they said they would be sending letters about two weeks into September!

I'm in the program at Collin County, set to graduate in May 2010. In my class, the lowest person accepted into the program had 14 points. I don't know if it's become easier or harder, though, since I started.

Good luck!

Im at NLC or dcccd and not sure if I will stay. I know one other lady who is older like me and started there. Shes well on her way.

Just for reference for future applicants I am going to post my stats. I was waitlisted (for Spring 2010 start) when the initial letters came out. I got a call offering me a spot two days after those who recieved letters of acceptance were supposed to tell the school if they were going to attend or not. I had 14 points, 6 of them were from the PSB, I also had all pre-reqs/co-reqs completed.

I applied for the Spring 2010 and got accepted. I had only 14 points and my GPA was a 3.7. I am also getting an associates in science this Dec so I think they looked at that too when looking at my application. I'm so excited and ready to get this started!

i haven't login, since the day i have posted, but i have surfed in and out of here from time to time.

rha_hea: i am trying to answer your message back, but i can't find a way to IM you on here. anywhooo.. i did receive a letter, and it said that i lacked points. however, i did apply to grayson for the spring and will be starting there in january.
