Well, the day after we received our acceptance emails, we had 3 folders posted to our blackboard accounts. Folder 1 was stuff that was due on the day of orientation which was held 4/25. Folder 2 items are due 5/29. So I was able to start reading about what was due and when and plan according the day after acceptance emails which was 4/16. Took a lot of coordinating between physicals, immunizations, tb testing, drug testing, cpr card, fire card, background screen and purchasing malpractice insurance. I'm sure I failed to mention a few items as it was a lot. But nonetheless, I got everything in and received confirmation that they have everything from me. It took two weeks with some strategic planning. LOL. I work full time right now.

Have you heard back from any of your other colleges? If I recall, you were hoping for valley but won't know for like 2 more months?

That's really a lot of staff! Good for you for getting it done on time!

I'm still waiting for County and Valley. If I will get accepted to County, I will go there. Valley College will let us know sometime in July.

Wow, that is awesome! It sounds like COC is extremely organized, that makes things for the students so much easier and less frustrating.

I'm doing well, just waiting to hear from County since this is the only school I applied to. They are very slow, I am sure they lose a lot of students because of that. I wonder if they even care :sarcastic: I really don't understand why they have such a slow process. All I can do is wait. I refuse to call them and even ask when they plan on sending out notifications, because they will say, "in the next week or two" when they really mean in the next 4 weeks or so :yes:

Until then, I will be checking in with everyone on AN. Our day will come eventually :yes:

Hang in there! I am sure they do care very much. I wish they could have at least handled everything via email. That would sure speed things up!!!

I will let you know if i hear anything or if I receive anything from them in the mail.

Thank you, please let me know. You will probably be one of the first to be notified since you had a good amount of points.

Dragonfly90 · May 20, 2014

I don't remember which year, but someone got a call from County. I think she had a good amount of points as well. So maybe they will call first . Keep your phones on))

you will get in for sure! Dont you have 90 pts or something like that?

Dragonfly90 · May 20, 2014

Yeah, 90. But I worry about "technical" things like " we don't have your transcripts" or " your high school diploma evaluated by wrong agency" ( I finished high school not in US). I called to verify twice, first time they had everything, second time they didn't see some transcript which they saw the day before))). I'm just freaking out too much)))
