Has anyone applied to PCC or GCC in CA?

I applied to both but haven't received anything yet. Just the receipt I got in person when turning in my app at Glendale! Have you sent in your TEAS scores yet?

Also, Glendale has a link to an excel thing where you can plug in your stats and it tells you what your Chancellor's Formula score is. Depends if they calculate your GPA the same way you did though, I guess.

Same here I got a receipt when I applied to GCC and nothing from Pasadena either. I wanted to ask and see if this was the case with the other applicants as well, thank you for your response.

I tried the excel from GCC's website and is that really how your Chancellor's Formula score is calculated? I played with it a little and it seems like it doesn't seem as hard as a lot of people make it out to be to meet the 75% requirement.

Yep, the chancellor's formula is a statewide thing, and I don't think they would post that spreadsheet if that wasn't what they used! :) Glendale is actually on the low end having 75% as a cut score. I know Valley and LACC require 80%, which I believe comes out to a 3.0 avg for each category with no repetitions. But again, they might calculate your GPA differently than you'd think, like with transferring quarter units to semester. And some schools don't use + or - for GPA either!

Did you hear back from PCC? Got into GCC, nothing yet from PCC.

ns808 · May 12, 2015

No, I haven't heard back from PCC yet...are you going to accept your seat at GCC?

antlers11 · May 12, 2015

I got into my top choice SMC, so I will probably give up my seat at GCC. Hopefully that gives someone who wants it on the alternate list a shot.

I was selected as an alternate for GCC. I think I'm going to decline my spot because I already got in to Cerritos for the fall and Cerritos is only 15 minutes away while GCC can be an hour with traffic!! Good luck to everyone else!!
