OCCC Spring 2014 Applicants

Published

I have been checking this board consistently over the past couple of weeks hoping that someone would have started a thread for this spring's admission, but haven't found one yet! Are we slacking, or am I the only one here?!

Anyways, I turned in my application last Friday with 18 points and was curious to see where everyone else stands.

Tell me about it! I wish they would let us know our official point totals! I am pretty sure that I had 19, but I had a B that was not yet factored into my cumulative GPA. This is driving me nuts!! Three more weeks...how in the world am I going to survive that!

I wish more people would post on here, it would give me something to do and show me there aren't just 4-5 of us stressing out :) Is anyone going ahead and getting immunizations? CPR certification lasts 2 years, so people could go ahead and start that process. MNT has a good Saturday class. You receive your certification that day. Does anyone know the hours for class? I know it is in the afternoon, but not sure what time or days.

I really need to get started on all of that stuff! I know I've had most of my immunizations, but I have no idea where to find records of them! It's awful, I know! I also need to look into the CPR class. If I get a chance I will post any information I find on them though.

Hello All!! I am glad to see more posts in here! Its been 2 weeks and the thought of 3 more weeks (at least is killing me)!! @MeganOKC, you could try the Health Department. From my understanding, a lot of records are now digital and are recorded (and converted) to a digital record that can be accessed by everyone. Also, I think its free to obtain your shot record. I work for the State so I will try to get mine and if I have any problems I will let you know! @Lizanne23...I saw that OKCCC has a CPR class on Saturdays as well. I believe the cost is $65 and the bookstore told me the book is approx. $18. However, the bookstore told me that I really dont need the book and most return it!

200 Applicants....man...I dont know how to feel. I have 18 points, but I wonder if the larger pool of applicants will make for an increase in the point cutoff. Any ideas?

I did the CNA program at Moore Norman Technology, so I verified or got most of my shots at that time. I know OCCC has a CPR class as well, and I'm not sure what the difference is. The one at MNT was not as expensive and we didn't need to purchase a book. I am sure they are similar. I applied with 17 points. If I don't get in for the spring then I will have 20 points for the fall. I don't really want to think about that but I guess it's a backup plan. I will take my math placement and I will have my associates in December, that will give me 3 additional points. Hopefully the cut off will be similar to what it has been in the past.

I don't know how many have been applying each semester? It may be the same each time, it's just that 200 sounds like a lot. I know of several people applying with 14, 15, and 16 points. Too bad we couldn't all get in.

I guess I need to get moving on my CPR cert. As far as the immunizations, is it just a matter of making sure we are current on them? I will need to get my record out and check.

@lizanne23..From what I understand, there is an average of 200-300 that apply each semester. Claire did say that more tend to apply in the fall than in the spring. But I agree, 200 does sound like a lot! I can't imagine you not getting in with 17 points...I would be really shocked! I agree....I just wish they would take everyone that applied!

Okay gals. I was doing some poking around on the OCCC website looking for CPR information and I came across the acceptance letters for Fall 2013 program! Has a lot of good information and just thought I might share. Has information on immunizations and lots of other good stuff. I hope we will each be getting one of these for Spring!!!!!
