Nassau Community College

Sorry to hear your mom wasn't home to share your good news. It's such great news and I'm so glad you shared it with us! I know you'll be having a happy weekend! Like I said, my brother loves Farmingdale. He said the professors are really terrific and supportive of the students. Getting a seat in a nursing program today is like gold!Congratulations again!!!!!!

Thats very strange to get a phone call stating that you were accepted. Especially at nassau? Never heard of such a thing, unless they already sent a denied letter out and a seat became available. Even so, they still send out letters.

Good luck to you all ...You do hear back from them in the middle/end of April

No no no I didn't get a phone call from NCC, I think you're replying to my post about my friend. I said my friend received a phone call from NCC stating she was NOT accepted. I received a packet from Farmingdale with all my acceptance information.

Oh dang ..even worse, she wasnt accepted?

=(

hopefully she gets into another program

Does anyone know when the letters for NCC are going out?

oldcatlady,

Hi, according to NCC they go out middle to end of April. Of course, I've been checking/double checking everyday! Not fun to wait.

I just called and they said "hopefully by the end of this month" OH THATS HELPFUL!

I called again today (I hadn't read your post yet) and they said "by the end of this month". This is really, really difficult to wait. I just feel like everything is on hold. I know I should be more mature about it, but the curiosity is getting the best of me. I keep wondering what the application pool is like in regards to GPA's........are there tons of 4.0's, etc. I'm not a 4.0, but have a very decent GPA.

I'm taking A&P 2 now, and I only have micro left. Luckily, the rest of my pre-reqs are done. I just wish I knew where I stood in regards to getting in!!!! Ugh! Hopefully, I'll be able to post a bunch of smiley faces in a couple of weeks along with the rest of us that have worked hard and waited long.

think about the phone call volume they get everyday regarding when the acceptance letters are going out. On top of that, around this time faculty is busy helping all 4 semester students with their skills, process records, and what not. Plus if they told you april 22nd, and the 23rd comes and you dont receive a letter because you dont live in the county then theyre gonna get a call that day and everyday after "why did I get a letter"

so yeah end of april, be patient. occupy your time with some reading, going out, etc etc. Once you get in, those times will be few and far in between

Obviously they are very busy and we definitely understand that, we are just looking for some direction. When I applied in the Fall they said letters would go out last week in November. I did not have to call ONCE and as promised the letters went out. But this semester there doesn't seem to be any answer I feel if they had a certain week even if it were "last week in April" there would be less of a call volume.

I'm so glad to have this place to go and post! I haven't told any relatives, friends, etc. (except for my husband and my sister that I've applied. I don't want to share my disappointment if I don't make it this round.

I don't think anyone else would understand the anticipation, excitement and worry that I'm going thru -- except, of course, other's that are going thru it as well.

I guess it's so hard to wait, because I've wanted this all my life, but never had the opportunity to even attempt it. I'm from a large family, so college was not even an option. My workplace provided tuition reimbursement, but only towards a business degree. After working in NYC for 17 1/2 years (at 2 mostly terrible) jobs, I'm getting my chance to do WHAT I WANT TO DO!

I'm at the point of my life where I'm married and have 2 great boys. My mom died suddenly when my first child was 5 months old. I had my dad fall apart and lean on me (a very long story), then I found out I was expecting another baby when my first was 6 months old................the past years have been bittersweet, good, and crazy.

I feel like I've always done what everyone else wanted me to do. Deep down inside I always hoped the day would come when I could chase my dream of becoming a nurse.

To be honest, I'm humbled just to be able to apply. I never thought I'd get this far. I guess now that I've got all that out, I can wait a few more days.

Thanks for listening........even if you just read the 1st sentence and hit "delete".

Good luck to us all -- from my mouth to God's ears.

Dibbs, I think it's really awesome that you are going back to really do something for yourself. I am only 21 and feel like I have already spent the past 2 years not doing what I wanted, I could only imagine what you are going through. You remind me of my mother putting others before yourself and I really respect that. I wish you all the luck!!!!!!!
