Good luck to everyone.

Also, try to relax. No need to stress yourselves out. The emails will come. ?

@Apple Core CC’s do the pinning ceremony or Universities?

HI gomezy -

You will definitely have a pinning ceremony at your CC. The universities will have their own graduation and/or pinning, so you'll get two!

can anyone explain how the advisors from the schools let us into our first, second, or third choice?

If each community college does their own picking and choosing, if we do not get into our first choice, do they then send our score to our second choice? And so on?

ASU counted up to three numbers from the decimal. So I would assume they would use that much at least

Our lamp lighting ceremony was during our pinning at the CC. It usually takes place about a week or so after your final exam and classes. That allows them time to audit your file to be absolutely sure that you have done everything you need to do in order to be granted the degree.

During our pinning, which was about an hour to hour and half long, we received our pin (on a ribbon that was placed around our neck) and we did the lamp lighting as a group. You choose someone special to pin you - such as your partner, parent(s), best friend, or whatever.

From my understanding my university will do a pinning/graduation but no lamp lighting.

Yes, basically. Most people - if selected to get in - will get their first choice placement. If you're not chosen for your first choice you'll be forwarded onto your second choice, who will select from that pool in the event that students decline their offered position. Believe it or not, people do turn down their seats because of a multitude of different reasons so these places do open up!

The goal of each school is to fill every possible seat available.

so i can only get into my second choice if seats open up?? Say if someone puts mcc first and I have it as my second. If they have a score of an 80 and I have an 81.9 , will mcc put them in priority over me?

Most likely yes.
