More so, does the committee separate by the University of choice or the CC nursing program itself?
From my understanding they will choose based on your CC application, and the university choice is irrelevant.

Unfortunately, no. This is because every year is different in terms of the number of applicants and the average points applying with. I do know that the overall average of applicants for all schools is usually well in excess of 1,000. To accommodate this I know that at least one school (EMCC) has made changes and now takes in 2 block 1 classes a semester, or about 60 students (it used to be about 30). Other schools such as GCC have weekend and evening classes which bump their numbers up significantly.
I know the wait is almost unbearable! Make sure to keep checking your Maricopa email because that's where you will get the notification. I do know of a few people who expected it to be sent to their home/private email and therefore missed the deadline to respond yes or no.
Emails will start going out mid month, but each CC is on their own timeline, and it can take until week 3 and even 4 to hear anything. Respond as soon as possible to confirm your seat - I believe you get 7 days to reply after which time you'll forfeit your seat and it will be offered to someone else.
Despite all the work and effort it takes to get to the point of applying, there will also be people who get offered a place who turn it down for any number of reasons, so don't give up complete hope if you don't hear immediately because I had classmates who heard something literally a few days before the start of the first class!

There has never been a clear answer given for this, but given that the push is for 80% BSN educated nurses in hospitals then I was told that the ratio tends to favor that, assuming that the applicant ratio is that (for example, they may have more than 80% CEP applications, so obviously there would then be a greater portion of CEP students).
