EFSC Eastern Florida State College January '14 applicants!

Published

Anyone else "patiently" waiting the next few weeks to hear back about their application to the palm bay program? I had 35 points and I'm crossing my fingers that I got in and trying to not get too excited until letters go out. I'd love to hear from anyone else in the same boat

I tried searching but nothing comes up.

Hi Kristin,

I'm curious how the program is going, with a small child at home. Would it be possible for a single mom to complete without the child being in full time daycare?

I think the majority of the people in this program have children. It seems most of them still do very well academically.

Like smalltownhero said (hahaha, so funny to think of you as this handle and not as your name now =D), so many people have families. many of these same people are working full time. If you are dedicated, organized, and have a good support system, you can absolutely do this. I don't work right now, but i have my daughter watched 3-4 days a week and I study in the evenings after she's in bed, but she's 15 months. If your child is older, I bet you can get more study time in. Feel free to message me and I can give you more of an idea of the schedule requirements. Some of the parents and/or working students felt a little blindsided at orientation but it's not too bad. Keep in mind though, we're still 1st semester. We aren't sure what to expect in the semesters to come, bu people do this with kids all the time =)

Hi guys! I'm currently applying for the January 2015 Palm Bay program. How is it going so far? I will have 37 points with a TEAS score of 83.3 in reading and a 78 overall. I haven't gotten any recommendation letters.. Did anyone submit their application without them?

Juliab, I would highly recommend having your employer/good friend/professor write you a recommendation letter. I just submitted my application package to start in the fall at the Cocoa campus (fingers crossed! 34 pts, 88.1 reading and 87.3 overall) and was told that while they are not essential, the letters help the committee get a feel for who you are as a person, which just adds a layer of depth and clarity to your package. Given how easy they are to include, I would definitely be sure to have at least 2 if not the maximum of 3.

Wildthng is right. I don't know of anyone in particular who didn't submit letters of recommendation, but I know that they like them. The essay is also a big thing because they seem to like getting a glimpse into the applicant's personality. Good luck!

Your first semester is almost over. Congrats on this one, just 4 more to go.

My class only lost 2 people the first semester but it's not the end of the world. Many joined our class from the class before us.

I hated the wait....i used to harass the mailman, as if he had some control over when my letter arrived.
