Dcccd 2006

lalajenn · Sep 11, 2005

Most of the time they are either in the beginning or the middle of the month. I know the last one for August was on August 1st for ECC and August 4th, I believe, for NLC. So far there isn't any scheduled ones for the month of September. I saw a couple of programs who said they don't have any until the month of October. ?????

I want to buy some supplies so bad but I don't know what to get and also I don't want to get my hopes up if I am not accepted.

Well, I'm just buying small items. I won't buy the big stuff until after I find out.

So much for finding out specifics on things. I hope to know something from the mail by Oct. 20th.

I don't want to go to that information session, I'd rather go to orientation! lol

Oh well, we'll see! :)

Hi Everyone.

I'll be applying for the fall semester at El Centro also. I'm worried about getting accepted, but I'm sooo ready to quit this job and go to school.

The only class I need to get out of the way is Micro. Saved the best for last I guess, but I'm having trouble getting into a class at night.

Does anyone know how to calculate your GPA? I have a "B" in A & P I and "A's" in the rest of the prereqs. What GPA would that be? I'm worried it won't be high enough and I REALLY don't want to retake A & P I.

Good luck to you all

To calculate GPA:

A=4 pts

B=3 pts

c=2 pts

You multiply the points you earned by how many hours that particular class was.

Here's yours:

A&P: 4 (4 hour credit class) x 3 (since you got a B)= 12

English 1301: 3 (3 hour class) x 4=12

College Algebra: 3 (I think for everyone it's a 3 hour class even if you took the 4 hour one) x 4=12

Psych: 3 x 4=12

Then you add everything together:

48

Then you divide that # by the total # of credit hours which is 13.

48/13=3.69

Hope that makes sense!

Hi & welcome, Cheryle.

Good luck in Micro & your Fall application. I took Micro at Brookhaven during Maymester/Semester I, and it was at night. I'm not sure if they offer it at night all the time, though. M. Serra was the instructor.

TXMOM - thanks for calculating that for me. It DOES make sense to me now.

It figures it's a 3.69. I was told they stopped accepting at 3.77 for the last application period.

Maybe I will be retaking A & P I.

Fun2, BSN, RN · Sep 13, 2005

Please consider taking it over. You never know what the cut off will be, but for the past two semesters it was 3.77. An "A" in A&P is REQUIRED to make a 3.77. Just think, take it over, make an A, & you will be going in with a 4.0!! :)

Also, A&P is a very important base in nursing. You have to make sure you get A&P down in order to go further in your nursing studies. Even those with A's may have to do some A&P reviewing later on.

I would go ahead and apply, of course, but plan on taking A&P over again. Also, no matter what, if this is what you really want, never give up. It may take a little longer by having to retake the class, but it will be for your benefit.

Good luck! :)

I know!!! I want it to come so badly!!!!! If I was to wait a week before checking the mail, it would probably come the day I stopped checking it, and would be there for a week.

I am also getting very anxious. I wish October would hurry up and get here!!!
