DCCC Chester County Applicants 2010 N/WE

lbamom4 · Nov 10, 2009

Hi, I applied for fall 2010 chester co. nite/eve. program - composite was 94 - i haven't heard of anyone who has a higher composite - i am hoping to hear before christmas or i will go crazy wondering - what did you get?

I wish there was more considered than this one test - my DCCC gpa is great! I have taken everything except the nursing classes so far.

i also would like to test out of the math for nurses and save some time & money.

let me know!!

Thanks for the Reply, I got an 85 composite, which would get me in to Main Campus Day, but I am really nervous about Chester County night. Seems like a lot of people are in the 90s, so I guess my hopes are not so high :cry: . I took it 4 times and this was my best score. If it doesn't get me in I will try my luck with the TEAS and go for 2011.

I graduated from the Medical Assisting program in 1993 with a 3.5 avg and am doing really well in A&P. I REALLY wish they looked at that!

Either way I would like to know soon so I can figure out what I am going to do if I don't get in.

It didn't seem like there were many applicants for chesco/evening program when I submitted my application - i think it was october 28 - i think there were less than 50 at that time - no one gave me a timeline for when we would be notified - and i don't know anyone who has applied

i am an older student - and it has been many years since i had bio ( i am taking A&P now) so i would not be able to do well on the TEAS w/o a lot of prep work - plus i don't have the time to wait.

Do you know anyone who has applied?

are you working in the medical field now?

Good luck!!

I am in A&P now too, In Downingtown M W Nights. They told you how many applications they have? Well I guess that helps with chances if they have lesser applications. I am crossing my fingers. I am not working in the medical field, but I do work for a medical device company. I am older too and really don't want to wait another year to start. I hope they let us know soon!

Hi,

I am taking A&P online through Immaculata. I love online. I can do my work any time. It will be tough

to go to school 3 nights a week next year. I am going to go crazy until we hear; I don't have a backup

plan - plus I can't afford to wait another year.

How do you like the A&P - i was originally signed up for that class until i found the online one.

Do you know anyone else who has applied for fall 2010?

ldoc72 · Nov 13, 2009

Actually I really like the class and so far am keeping an A Average. Two more tests and a practical will tell if I get an A or a B though LOL

How do you do it online? There is no lab? Do you like it?

I know one other person who has a 93 on the NET. Everyone in my class is applying for 2011.

Hi,

I just received a letter from DCCC confirming my application was received. How annoying! I was so

excited at first, then really laughed at the part that emphasized "this is not an acceptance to nursing program".

I am glad everything complete, though. I made sure i got a return email that they received my high

school transcript, since they had no record of it from years ago.

I hope we find out before christmas, even though they say by end of january.

Now I know how my daughter felt when she was applying to colleges!!:paw:

Hang in there! This is the fun part - wait until next fall when we are working, going to class 3 nights and

waking up at 5:30 am for practicals!!!! HELP!!! :yeah:

hi all! does anyone know if the day or night program at chester county is more competitive? do we know if we might get letters before december, or is that a stretch?

lbamom4 · Nov 23, 2009

Hi,

All I know is when I took the NET test I was told they had a record number of applicants (but i believe they meant the entire program, not just Chesco.

I believe there are only 32 seats for the night/weekend program, so the 32 top NET grades get in!

Did you apply for just chester co. Night/weekend? That is what I did.

At the info session last spring they talked about trying to inform us before christmas, but that

was before Eli left, so I am not sure if they have someone running things in his place in a timely manner.

I got a letter saying they received my application and i should hear by end of january. I know last year

people were contacted the week before christmas.

Good luck!!!

I applied for the day program. I heard that mid 80s made the cut last year. I wonder if that has went up significantly due to the record interest? Did you notice the very low averages on your NET Score printout? I wonder how the averages are so low and the cutoff is so high?
