I'm not sure if this will help other students, but I realized that the emails I've been receiving from PCC about Acceptance/Packet have been sent to my personal email as a CC. The main email is actually addressed to my school email. The issue is, my school email is completely empty, I haven't received anything there! I found out that since I'm not enrolled in any Spring or Summer courses, my school email is restricted and has limited capacity to send or receive messages until I register. Just a heads-up in case anyone else hasn't received anything yet, you might be in the same boat (I only know this because of a deleted email regarding this limitation). 

Additionally, I will most likely rescind my acceptance soon and hopefully someone will get a callback! I had 80 points, I believe.

Hey y'all quick question from someone who is about to apply during the August window. Do we need to have BLS training completed before applying? If so, do you guys have any recs for the Pasadena area?

Just did it through the AHA website. The training was through ProntoCPR911 or along those lines. You could find the pasadena location and it is $75 flat fee.

I would get it done as you are applying or just bit before acceptance starts (especially if your day to day is rather full or have other commitments). I'm going through the process of getting all the requirement done before fall semester starts and it's kinda tedious. If I had to do the BLS training on top of everything I would be kinda annoyed ngl

you don't need it before applying,but if you want to get ahead you can start now so you won't feel as stressed later on when you're scrambling to get vaccines etc. when I did mines the class was only 3 hours long.

Congrats again to all that got in!! I had a question for you guys since there's not a lot of people on the Spring 26' forum yet. Did anyone apply with an AP score from an exam prior to 2018?

Was wondering if we need to request an official transcript be sent to ourselves (to scan and upload to the app) or if sending (1) official transcript to PCC is sufficient. I already sent an official transcript to PCC from College Board a while back and it came with a student score report that was mailed to me. I wonder if this report is fine for the pdf upload on the app or if I will need to pay for an official one to be sent to me.
