I'm sorry to hear about your friends colleague. I was told someone received an acceptance letter this morning for Fall 2019. I still have not received an email. Praying for a positive email soon.

I've been constantly checking my email & mailbox like a crazy person. 1 week until November 15th ugh!

Me too! so many people received notice yesterday. hopefully ours comes today!

I got an email yesterday! I was accepted for Spring 2020

Yay congrats! Me too! Except I got in for fall 2020! I don't think I will confirm my acceptance because that's a long time from now and I have all of my pre-reqs completed. I'm looking into apply to rcgc and rcbc!

I got in for Fall '19. Congrats to everyone that got accepted! The application process for me was so long. Probably because I tried twice.

Congratulations to those who got their acceptance! I just went to the Fall 2019 pre-orientation and they said they rank students and then place them wherever there is an open spot available. A big factor in the ranking is the ATI TEAS score. ATI is their educational source for most lecture work. By the end of the nursing program the online ATI program will let me you know when you have a 99.9% chance at passing the NCLEX. It also keeps you updated and lets you know your pass rate through out the entire program! That's why OLOL has over a 98% pass rate. For those who haven't applied, get that TEAS score up!

Hi all,

For those inquiring, I applied in Spring 18 for the Fall 18 start date. I didn't get an interview until Sept 13th and got my acceptance Nov 8th. I do not start until Fall 19 due to still needing Chemistry. For those still waiting, I hope your acceptance comes very soon!!!!

@CynTaylor2018 yay congratulations! My friend unfortunately got denied. Any advice you can share for when she reapplies? She's feeling very discouraged. What did you improve/work on for applying a second time? She was denied because "the program is competitive & a large pool of applicants were reviewed" (the typical excuse)

I applied twice. Last year when I applied I had a 2.8 gpa and I didn't finish the prerequisites. I never inquired why I wasn't accepted but it did crush my ego. The interview for me was the most imporatnat because they get to know you and where your head is and then you meet the admissions coordinator. She expressed to meet that my teas science scores were impressive because I hadn't taken any sciences yet. I just knew I had to retry so I applied again. I submitted one more letter of recommendation and I waited. The longest wait ever. You don't get a second interview which I was surprised but relieved. My advice for her is to keep trying. There are people in this chat that got in to the spring and fall 2020 semesters. And not to mention I kept bothering them with all of my questions. I also had to take specific classes that were not offered at rcgc. So, I ended up paying out of pocket for classes at ccc to fulfill the needs of this program. Whatever it takes to get them to notice your hard work and persistence.

@FutureRN856 Wait, my preorientation isn't until June for fall '19 start. Why so early? I wanna go now lol

FutureRN856 · Nov 15, 2018

I was accepted for Spring 2019. Sorry I just realized I said Fall 2019 in my last comment. Our pre-orientation was mandatory so I found out my acceptance on November 1st. We start January 14th.
