Hello everyone I was sent my acceptance letter yesterday (March 9th, 2017) and it was post-marked March 8th 2017. I was quite surprised on the speediness of delivery. I checked my HCC email shortly after and did not see an email with information about my acceptance. The letter itself contains information about orientation and the $300 acceptance fee/form. For anyone that is wondering, I hope the following info. helps you: I am a Baltimore County resident. I've completed all of my pre and co-requisites. I attended two colleges before applying to Howard Community College and my cumulative/overall GPA is a 3.2 (all of my required pre/co-requisites were accepted by Howard CC). I don't know if it made any difference in the lottery process; however, I received a B in A&P I, A in A&P II, B in Microbiology, and B in Chem. I applied with a HESI score of 84%. Prior to applying, I attended a Nursing Info. Session at Howard CC. After the session, I met with an advisor to ask any specific questions I had about the program itself. I found attending the info. session helpful in swaying my decision to apply to Howard CC. I recommend attending one if you are interested in their program.
