Anyone waiting on NHCTC Stratham?

U.S.A. New Hampshire

Published

hey...just wondering if anyone here had applied to either the manchester campus or stratham one? We can wait in misery together! :lol2:

Jamie-Sue-Stay positive. I know many people in my A&P II class would be happy to be on the waiting list. Hey-at least you are 4 ahead of me. I saw a post that Manchester got well over 500 applicants. I'm wondering how many applicants there were for Stratham and what the cut off NLN was. I plan on calling early May to find out as I hope by then I will have moved up on the waiting list. I saw registration is at the end of April (25th I think?). Keep me posted if you get any info. Good luck and hope to see both of us starting in the Fall...Keep thoses fingers crossed, Roxxy. Wishing you well.

Alright, couldn't wait any longer so I emailed them to see if they would tell me....I found out that I am #4 on the waitlist. She said they take 25 and they worked through most of it last year so that is a good sign for all of us waiting.

Thanks GottaGetIn! I'm on the fence. I really wish I could go to all the orientations and get a feel for it, but I don't think that is going to happen. Concord is probably my last choice because it is the furthest for me, but I am not ruling it out. Manchester and Stratham are about the same driving time for me, but Stratham is closer mileage wise. I have friends that live in Manchester so it would be good if I need to stay overnight....but I just don't know!! can you tell I am often not a very good decision maker??!! :roll

Roxxy-I'm shocked you were wait listed with such a good NLN score! When I went for three "informational" meetings (the 2nd was one on one/first and last were general) I was advised of the 20 points for A&P I&II. However, I guess I did not understand how much I would need it to get in. If I understood a good NLN score would not help, I would have made sure A&P I was my first class LAST spring. Oh well-nothing we can do now. At least you have a school to fall back on. I only applied to Stratham as I have 3 young children and I needed to be so close for babysitting issues. Hopefully this will not be the year they end at #17 on the wait list-that would be my luck!

I have to say, if you and Jamie-Sue did not post that you were waitlisted first, I probably would have been a bit surprised by being waitlisted. I thought the NLN score was a big factor...but you did great on the NLN too and we are in the same situation with classes, so I really knew that I would be somewhere on that waitlist.

Juggling the responsibilities of children definitely makes it much more complicated, I REALLY hope they make it through the waitlist and you get in. The person I emailed in admissions said that she would know more in two weeks when people either paid their deposit to hold their spot or they didn't, so I guess we will know more then, I'll let you know if I hear anything. I wonder if that means that the letters went out two weeks earlier if you got in right off the bat, I know Concord gave me a 30 day window to get back to them. Oh well, let's stay positive!!

Roxxy-If I remember correctly (which is not often...) the people in my Micro class got their letters and only had about 2 weeks to send a deposit so I think they went out around the same time. I have not heard of anyone who is in for this year. I will also keep you posted if I hear any news.

I'm sure you are right, all the community colleges have their own rules and they all seem to be very different when it comes to them. Two weeks is better for those of us on the waitlist, at least we will know something sooner than later!

I was waitlisted at Stratham - #6 - but gave it up because I'm going to NHTI.

Jamie-Sue - I guess that means you're bumped up one! Good Luck!

I think the NLN score must count for quite a bit because I don't have Micro and I'm not quite done A&P II. My NLN was 147.

Hello Everyone!

It sounds like many of us are in the same boat. I've been accepted to Concord, Stratham, and Manchester. Where is the best place to go? From

anyone who is already in the program, have you heard anything good or bad

about any of the programs? I've ruled out Concord, since it's just a bit too

far away. I'm torn between Stratham and Manchester. Any advice from

anyone? I'm 46 years old; can anyone tell me if I'll be a "dinosaur" in either

program??? Thanks to anyone for whatever advice you can give!!!

Now that I'm accepted, I'm scared all over again!!!!

Hope I can do this!!!!
