OCCC Nursing Fall 2011

[katielynn10]

I was wondering what everyone's GPA and Preference Points were, also I was wondering if the new math placement test is as hard for everyone else as it was for me (I couldn't make the minimum requirement for the 2 preference points) so now I only have 15 preference points with a 3.3 GPA. I don't think I will make it in because of the math test.

I GOT ACCEPTED!!!! YAY! I can breathe now...well for like a week then I gotta start getting everything together and prepared!

OMG well congrats I'm still waiting for mine, does your letter say what the cut off point was, I'm really anxious.

No it just gives orientation information and what all needs to be completed. How many points did you have?

Hi, everyone!!!

:anpom:Congratulations to those accepted so far..!!!

I was not... I am Alternate Number 4, though! And for now, that gives me a little hope...

The cut-off is 17 points and a 2.9375 GPA.

I was close w/ 17 points & a 2.7638 GPA..... Sooooo CLOSE!

Congrats again!!! And I reallyREALLYreally hope to be seeing some of you sooner rather than later!:bowingpur

I did not get in and I feel like it was a slap in the face seeings how I would have if it weren't for the new math test. oh well. Hopefully I can try to pass it over the summer and enroll again in the spring.

If it makes you feel any better, me too. I had 16 pts with a 3.21 gpa. If I had passed the stupid math test, I would have had 17 pts, and would be in. Luckily, I got in to the OU program (because it doesn't use that ridiculous points system...it is heavily weighted by pre-reqs and gpa).

[katy89]

Congrats to all the lucky people! I am alternate 26. I wounder if they have ever gone that low before?

I am trolling through old OCCC threads for discussions from past alternates... I have only seen them go to 14, so far... But, I am not going to sit back and wait to be called. I am going to call the school and ask about the 1+1 program that OCCC has with the local vo-tech schools. I have heard there are some great advantages to going that route. And Metro Tech is @5miles from home, whereas OCCC is over 24 miles away.

So, for those feeling hopeless, don't give up until you have exhausted all your options! That's my plan!!!

I GOT IN YAAAYYYYYYYY :w00t:

Congratulations!

I am curious about your packet:

Is there a deadline for completion of immunizations, turning things in, etc..? What is the date of orientation? I am 4th Alternate and I have heard nightmares from alternates who were called and had 2-4 days to complete stuff to get in.

So... Can you imagine my curiosity???

we have to turn in our intent to attend the program by may 31.

all immunizations and requirements(background check, CPR cert,& liability ins) are due: july 22 and orientation day is July 29 from 9-5( it's going to be a looooonng day). You're # 4 you have a REALLY good chance of getting in, If i were you, I'll get started right away with everything, so that you have it done for when you get in. Good luck I hope you get in, then again you're # 4.
