I am putting my application in next thursday and also doing CEP but i want to have the best odds of getting into a school. I and choosing UIU at the university and they automatically accept you as long as you meet their requirements, its getting a spot at the community colleges. Does anyone remember the old placement site that showed which school and how many spots they take? I feel like mesa will be my first choice and will be where i turn my application in. Any tips? thanks!

I think Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Mesa have the larges class sizes.
If I remember correctly Phoenix takes close to 60 then SCC takes a large number and Mesa has there day and afternoon class so they take a bit too.
Could be totally off but that's what I remember.
Good luck!

SCC is the largest with a class capacity of 90. I believe Mesa is second due to it having morning and evening.
If you are applying to CEP then this info doesn't really matter for you. Once you are accepted to CEP you are guaranteed a spot in one of the schools programs that is partnered with your Uni. You don't get accepted to the Uni then still wait for the CC.

I know Gateway has the traditional, evening, and accelerated (not a CEP option) and they accept about 40 students each.
I thought that to but the advisors keep telling me "CEP is competitive you are not guaranteed a spot" BUT UIU advisor told me she has never not taken a student who has met their requirements and i do. So i guess I'm just confused...
The CEP program may have become competitive with all the people that are applying now. Idk though

There were a lot of CEP applicants the last round and some applicants did not get a spot because of it. It's more competitive now than it has been in the last few rounds where all CEP applicants got a spot because there were enough to go around. Now that's not the case, at least it wasn't in the last application session. When you apply for CEP and are accepted, you are given a spot by both Maricopa and the university.
both Maricopa and the university.
well thats a relief!! so then i should pay close attention to my first and second choices.
