OCC - 2009 applicants / 2010 ADN prospective students

Published

I just wanted to start a post for all of those OCC students who are waiting to get into the ADN program (regular or accelerated) in 2010. There are only 2 more months until the acceptance letters will be mailed out. Let's keep in touch and keep each other updated!

Heck, I'll be where you guys are in one year. YIKES.

Also, I talked to the HL counseling department today and they told me that by Friday, Monday at the latest, they would know the minimum GPA that got in for 2010. Good luck to you all who are waiting for letters!!! I hope they arrive soon!! :-)

Specializes in Step-down/ICU.

I read a few pages back about someone suggesting you take a medical terminology class. That is NOT necessary, you will take medical terminology as part of 1410 (foundations of nursing). They have you buy the book they list and you have to answer questions from the CDROM and turn them in by the deadline.

I'm intrigued by what the official cut off gpa is. When we applied (2yrs ago) it was a 3.6 now I'm hearing that it's closer to the 4.0 end. It has jumped a lot. If you get a denial letter this time around and are close to the cut-off you may still get in as people may chose not to attend or the accelerated program may be offered again (I heard otherwise, but nothing is certain). Best of luck to all!

I really can't wait to hear from school. Listening the stories about cut off, I'm freak out!!!

I hope to get it today or within this week.

I just called (2pm) and the letters are going out by standard mail this afternoon, there was not enough money in the budget for certified mail.

I just called the school too.

The lady on the phone was so nice.

She said all letters are leaving the campus this afternoon and will be at the post office tomorrow by standard mail. She also said "hang in there, you are gonna get it by the weekend."

Hey everyone. I talked to my counselor. They are pretty sure they are not going to do the accelerated program. Therefore, the GPA cutoff is going to be 3.8n something. I know I will not get in with my GPA. I will be taking classes over and applying this year. Good luck to everyone, though, that is still waiting for you letter :-)

oh, Sorry to hear that Mocha. What classes do you think you will take over? Have

you considered trying for the LPN program and then bridging later?

I was checking my GPA , and a 3.88 for the LPN program would be all A and 2 A-. I

need to buckle down. Ive been so bored with A&p 1 lately. I started off strong, and

my test scores keep getting lower. I will have to say that out of a full class, I

hear very few people who get A in the science classes at Highland Lakes.

If I were you I would not retake any science classes there.
