Hello to all October 2007 timestamps. Here's the "Roll Call" thread I promised to start. Please copy and paste your timestamps here so we can all keep track of each other and where we go.
Since the most "recent" timestamp to get in was Oct 21st (LOL), that means we're next. Either this time or the Spring placement.
I wasn't happy about my "randomized" timestamp because I know that I'm behind most of you at the back of the October line. But I still feel good about Spring.
Hey everyone,....I've noticed that the white board group numbers are changing. I'm just wondering If anyone knows If this means that were finally moving from the 9-12month slot to the 12-15month slot?....It seems the number keeps changing everyday....also I talked advisor at mcc and she said that their gonna keep the tradition and place fall applicants in March so hopefully the rest of us October applicants will find out where we will get into in just a a few months..
I agree. I have been noticing the numbers change almost by the day. But it's like watching paint dry! And by now, we all know that it's not even accurate.
We all know we have a great shot at getting into the spring placement for fall. But I was sort of hoping that a few folks (from oct 07) got into January. I noticed just this AM that PV/JCL finally filled 25 of their seats. Which takes the unused partnership seats down to 23... so their is little chance.
I'm so ready to get it all done that I actually even talked to Chamberlin this week. But there is a 35k difference in their program vs MCC. For 6 months, I cannot justify it... but it is tempting.
time stamps are given randomly, one for each second...and they will continue to place until after the first week of class.....those who don't show up the first day get dropped and their spots are taken by whomever is next on the waitlist for that school....we had at least one person placed a week before school started, one the first week of school, and one who joined us on the second week...I believe they didnt run a placement but instead called whomever was on the list they populated, so updating your preferences to open spots can work but isnt a guarantee of course :)...one of the girls who got in said she had done that and had just updated her choices the night before she got the call...however, the openings may not always be up to date since they tend to call last minute (like right after someone fails to show) and I doubt they post the opening first....GOOD LUCK!
Ok, so the next logical question to ask (if it was not already) is when are they running placements for the Fall semester? If I don't get out of this rediculous job I am in I think I might go nuts. I think I am dur for Fall. I have a low October 2007 time stamp.
I believe we will be able to make our choices at the end of Feburary and placements should start for Fall in March. I already asked the MCC nursing advisor about a month ago and she said that's when they usually do it every year and they will maintain that tradition. I believe all October 22, 2007 should get placed for fall. ( unless you have only one choice picked out) I hope that helps!:)
My best friend and I applied at the same time (October 22, 2007) and she actually got in for spring at Gateway Community College (traditional option). She was placed in mid-December and it was her 3rd choice. I'm still on the wait list just like all of you, and I'm hoping we will all get in for next fall!
And please copy and paste your timestamp (down to the second) and I'll update our list. I beleive most of us on this thread are at least in the top 200-250 of the waitlst. So, one way or another, we're getting in for fall.
This was the latest timstamp to get in - Oct 22, 2007 08:01:59 AM. Your friend getting in means that they were just "randomized" before us .
So if there is one application per second, that means 119 people with the Oct 22nd timestamp were at least given the opportunity to get in (some may have deferred).
And it didn't matter that it was third on your friend's list... it could have been fifth and they still would have got in. All that means is that their first two choices were closed.
jke530, I asked her what her timestamp was, but she said she couldn't remember (not everybody obsesses over their timestamps like we do haha). But my timestamp was 8:01:49A.M., so I'm guessing she had to be before me.
From the placement whiteboard:
The "oldest" application in the database still awaiting placement for a student that has (5) valid choices and has NOT deferred a placement was submitted on Jun 25, 2007 08:02:37 AM.
The most "recent" application in the database for a student that was placed in a public pool that did not require a special application was submitted on Oct 22, 2007 08:02:29 AM. That "public" pool was for RIO.
Wow I feel bad for the June 25, 2007 applicant! I really hope we don't have to wait as long as him/her!
This morning I went on the placement site to see if there were any last minute deferrals, and I saw 1 open spot for Glendale Community College, and thought what the heck, I'll put it as my number 1 choice and see what happens... then 10 minutes later, I got a call from a guy at the district office saying I was next in line and was offered a spot at GCC!!! So, I got in, and nursing school starts in just 5 days!!! Ahh! And now I'm scrambling around trying to get everything done before then! I live in the east valley, so I'm also going to have to move to Glendale (it's about an hour to an hour and 20 minutes if I just commuted everyday depending on traffic). But ya, you guys will definitely get in for fall since my timestamp was 8:01:49A.M. GCC wasn't even one of my 5 choices originally (since it's so far), but heck, I'll take it! I don't care that it's an hour away and I'll probably have to communute for the first couple weeks til I find a place to live, all that matters is that I'm finally in!!! The best feeling ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of moving consider going for your first semester at GCC and then transfering to a closer school in block 2 or 3... a lot of people do it. Good luck.
I think I am dur for Fall. I have a low October 2007 time stamp.
