HfCC waiting list

U.S.A. Michigan

Published

Does anyone know what the average wait list time to get into the nursing program at Henry Ford Community College is? Also what are all the requirements so that I can make sure I have all my ducks in a row. :redbeathe:redbeathe:uhoh3:

Hi there. =) May I ask when you were put on the waiting list, please? I'm hoping that I'll get invited that soon, too. Hopefully. *sigh* I'll be waiting for your response. Thanks.

I was put on the list on Nov. 5th 07', and recieved my letter in the very last set (the end of July)for the fall semester of 08'; I think we were lucky though because there were some people that had just got on the wait list in Jan. and were in my group! I also had all my prereqs' done at that point.

Good luck and hang on it will come before you know it!:bugeyes: Dont go out of your mind and enjoy the time you have now.

Thank you very much. I truly appreciate it. I'm done with all of my pre-reqs right now. Just waiting to be invited. :urgycld:

i talked to (moderator edit of name) today, and got the 24 months-long wait list information for hfcc. that was soooo disheartening for me, and super frustrating. i have some classes to take so that i can apply them towards a bsn, but not 2 years worth. i also have to make sure i keep the credit limit for fa in mind too. i'm going to be calling around to other schools tomorrow to try and see if i can somehow enter someone's program quicker. i just really had my heart set on hfcc. :(

i would keep hfcc in mind they have a much larger class size so the wait tends to be shorter and they have to give the longest wait possible as to not have people banging thier door down saying "but you said" i was told 18 months and only waited 7.5!

good luck.

What ever you do... make sure that you only need to complete the Nursing courses when you are in the program. It is VERY demanding of your time. When you have about a year of your pre-requests remaining take the NET and that places you on the "wait list" as long as you have the GPA to reflect it.

just an update for those (like me) on the hfcc wait list. i have been on the list since aug 29, 2008, and went to see (moderator edit of names/initials) for an update. they said another round of fall '09 invitations are going out next week and that will include people who were placed on the list prior to the end of june '08. they seemed to think it wasn't out of the question that i might be invited in the last round, but of course it just depends on how many decline. worst case scenario is a jan. '10 start. oh well, at least i can stop leaping out the window everytime the mail truck comes by.

hi

i have been on the list since july 1, 2008. my net was feb 28 2008, but i could not go on the list until all my classes transferred in. as of june 10, 2009, i did not make the fall list. i was told by (moderator edit of name) this is unusual this year. 252 invites went out to students on the list by june 26, 2008 and only 30 people turned down the invite. i missed fall by 17 people. i will get in in the winter. she also said because of the economy students are not deferring their start date. and the wait list will increase to two-three years. i just made it in under the wire for the winter. good luck to all.

hi there! i was just wondering if there is an actual application that needs to be filled out to be put on the wait list or do i just tell (moderator edit of name) to put me on the wait list?

yes ask (moderator edit of names). once you pass the net on the same day go to either ladies and request to complete an application. they will not put you on the wait list until all grades are submitted, and/or transfer grades if any are received. also, you must be in your last semester of pre-reqs and co-reqs.

hope this helps! good luck! :yeah: hope you will not have to wait over 18 months.

So if I take the NET this fall and get on the wait list, I'm looking at a start date sometime in 2012?

i just spoke to (moderator edit of name) today and she said the same thing. she seemed like she was bummed right along there with me, especially since just a few months ago she said 12-18 months was the wait.

i asked her if 3 years was the longest one would have to wait, and she said that she couldn't say because she doesn't know when/if it will change again. isn't it great throwing your future into fate? :angryfire
