For those in the "first round" of acceptance letters, we had to notify them by today if we were going to register for classes. That means that by today, they will know if they have any extra spots open up.

Iliana - give them a call again. It can't hurt. I'm actually going to call in a bit to confirm that they have my "yes" registration card in my file and find out which parking lot to use when we meet on Friday.

Ace - Congrats!! Looking forward to meeting you on Friday. :-)

hey blue, so i called and all they could tell me was that letters were still being sent out.. reading about ace getting accepted with 76 points is a bit reassuring but still like i wrote to him im not getting my hopes up. im really confused as to why i havent recieved my letter yet and he did and we have the same points.. :confused: im also worried about how long it'll take for me to recieve the letter seeing that i still havent recieved the results for my entrance exam and those were self addressed so i know i wrote the correct information. i dont know but this waiting thing is killing me. :anbd:

Have either of you called and just asked if anything was mailed to you or if you got in? With Ace getting his letter, maybe it's worth a shot to just ask. I called today to get parking info and Erica was really nice to double check the info for me.

Ace, which facility are you doing clinical hours at?

hey blue, i called and said i hadnt recieved anything and they could only tell me that letters were still being sent :o but tomorrow im going to call again and specifically ask if MY letter was sent. i feel like such a bother calling all the time :imbar..

Mugalex dont stress it too much.. if i dont get in this semester i already have it planned out to reapply and just retake one of my courses during winter intersession for a higher grade to count for the next school semester. i know its a long way to go but it gives me something to look forward to..something to keep me from crying my eyes out. you might want to think about doing something like that. everything happens for a reason. you gotta try to keep your head up or else you'll drive yourself to insanity. :( --->:)

I don't remember what I put on the application. I don't know too much about the clinical sites so I probably chose the one closest to home. I live in the San Gabriel area. I got 76 pts. for sure when I applied but I'm currently finishing up the extra classes which are Psychology, Speech, History, Sociology, and Political Science. I don't think they count work in progress with the application point system. It was a conditional acceptance that I need to pass and show them the transcript from this semester. I don't know if it makes a difference but I hope it helps.

so i got my letter today and its there on paper now..they said the spring semester has already been filled and the cut off was indeed 79 and i had 76. they said i could reapply for the next semester. :sniff::crying2::sniff::crying2:... i better start looking around at where i can retake my courses for the higher grade..

ACE, how did you have 76 points if you havent finished up the other classes like your speech, history, sociology, etc. ???

mugalex, any news??

I applied to this school before. I passed entry exam (after a retake) my grade and GPS were above there minimum, and i even knew someone who worked there who put in a good word (thank him for that) when i spoke to the lady (remained nameless) she said that because of a grade i recieved in 2002 on a speech class (which is not a pre-req) that they could not except me. Since they are private, they can do what they want. I was going to reapply but I've known people who have and are currently taking the program and it seems to be just as good as other CC programs. Good luck to you all I hope you all get in, and if not, just keep trying to boost those grade and start considering other schools. Don't want to put all your eggs in one basket (thats the mistake i made initially)
