Low applications for El Centro Fall 09'

mom35 · Mar 28, 2009

Hello there!! okay, you have me hanging by a string!! I am a Fall 2009 El Centro applicant awaiting my decision letter to arrive April 16th. If what you are saying is true, would this mean that I have a pretty good chance of getting in?!! Oh could it be true??!! :confused: :heartbeat:1luvu:

Not sure, I applied for the Fall as well. Would defenitely be nice.

If that rumor is true, that would be great. I bet a lot of applicants were "gun shy" after what happened last round with the screw up with the GPAs. Also, since the GPAs were so high last time, many probably did not bother to apply and activated backup plans, I applied to both Northlake/El Centro and Brookhaven/Mountainview, did not want all my eggs in one basket again.

The low turnout at El Centro could be substantiated by the high applicants at Brookhaven, they were overwhelmed by the number of applicants reportedly at a little over 300. Applicants to El Centro would easily make the requirements at Brookhaven, El Centro requires a lot more.

how did yall hear this rumor. good luck to you all. i didnt apply if you're wondering. that would be good right, then all of you would prob get in. and maybe they will even do late admissions. but who knows. good luck. last year i had friends who got in they had 4.0s and then i had friends who had 3.8 who didnt get in. but one did get called for northlake. the friends im referring to with the 3.8 had the exact same gpa all the way down to the tenth.. but one had one more general ed class than the other. tricky.. but good luck

Trust me i think that is a fake rumor...half of brookhaven students are applying to brookhaven and elcentro....not everyone is putting their eggs into one basket anymore.........I think that this year, there is going to be an overload on both schools cos all my friends in bkhaven applied to elceentro and likewise....but goodluck to yall...hope yall get....i got in last year......

Maybe I will call and ask if they will be taking late applications for the fall 09 semester. I do not know if they will tell me or nt, someone has probably already tried this

i think they should definitely tell you if you call them. one my friend didn't pass the grammar part of the HESI so he told me he was going to do the late application but u call them to ask...just to be sure........good luck

They will not be taking late applications. This means they had enough applicants

Well, I suppose that was just a rumor as I suspected. Thanks for checking on that mom35.

I'm looking forward to the program (mostly finishing)...maybe we'll be in the same class. The wait is coming to an end pretty soon. Keep the faith!

yes, I wish it were true, but just a few more weeks. I will be posting as soon as I receive my letter. I am a little worried that the mail might be late due to April 15th being tax day. Did you apply to brkhaven? I only applied to ec/nl. I will be hoping that we both get in!!

I applied to El Centro/Northlake as well. I really don't have any preferences on whether or not it is El Centro or Northlake...but it would be nice to be at El Centro to just ride the train there instead of driving in crazy traffic all the time!! Either way, I know it will work out! The letters are supposed to come by April 15th, but I made my mind up to get it either the 17th or the 18th! That way, I don't have to go crazy waiting on my acceptance letter.
