How many students are accepted for Fall? 568 applicants - wow!

okay...I feel like a dork...but is a hemostate and a hemostat the same thing?

I'm IN!!!!! Just got my packet!!! Woohoo!!!! My letter is dated 7/23. Orientation is 8/17 (which is the Monday AFTER our vacation! Yay!). I had 199 points. I am SOOOOOOO psyched!!!!

so I called the number again....and was told that 'no...the letters have not been mailed out...maybe the end of next week or the 1st week in August'.

So I opened the mailbox today and there was a BIG WHITE PACKET in there!!!! but not from FCCJ. Ugh!

...and nothing again today Maybe next week...

Anybody check their mail today?

I guess it's all semantics...I counted like this: Monday, June 1st - Application Deadline Monday, June 8th - 1 week since deadline Monday, June 15th - 2 weeks since deadline Monday, June 22nd - 3 weeks since deadline Monday, June 29th - 4 weeks since deadline Monday, July 6th - 5 weeks since deadline Monday, July 13th - 6 weeks since deadline Monday, July 20th - 7 weeks since deadline Monday, July 27th - 8 weeks since deadline When all is said and done, it doesn't really matter how we count the time. FCCJ will mail them whenever they are ready. All we can do is wait.

Sorry Cookie09...better count again...this is only week 6 we may have 2 more weeks to go! Ugh. When I dropped off the application packet, the woman at the desk told me to expect to hear something the 3rd week in July. I'm thinking we'll hear something the end of next week.

nothing here either

With 223 points, you're a shoe-in! :) As for the rest of us...it's a nail biter! I applied for summer term with like 186 and change...and missed the cut off of 190.something! I was sooo down! I retook the NAT and I've applied with 199. I hope that's enough. I really REALLY want in! I'm really curious about when Orientation is - I have a week's vacation planned in August, too. So we're in a 'wait and see' mode. Patience is a virtue, right?

Not yet. I'm really not expecting anything until the 3rd week of July (that's what I was told when I dropped off the packet). I hate this waiting though!

Hey y'all...question on Orientation....when was it for Summer and when did classes start? Was there just the one orientation or were there multiple dates? How's the first semester going? Hope things are going well for y'all!

Hmmmm...I wonder when Orientation will be for Fall 2009? We have a family vacation planned for August.

I dropped my application off on Friday. The woman checked over the application and then logged it as received. I asked if they had received a lot of applications and she said "oh yeah!". She said they'll get a bunch of applications as the deadline approaches. More importantly, she said to expect to hear something the 3rd week in July. So it's a waiting game now...I have 199 points. Makes me nervous every time I see one of you 200+ point people posting on here.

Retook the NAT today - and I'll be applying with a 199.4 (assuming they take the highest score from both NAT tests - I actually went down a couple of points in one section but did much better in two others). If they use the 'most recent' NAT score, I'll be applying with a 197.48. I applied for summer with 185 and change and didn't make the cut off by 4.94 points.

Hey Steph...I'm scheduled to retake the NAT on 5/4 and I'll be applying for Fall 09 soon after that. I would prefer days, but would take whatever I could get LOL. I wonder how many applicants they get for Fall? I know there will be a ton - since nearly 400 applied for Summer.

The 190.24 was for everything (all 96 slots). Does anyone know how many slots they have for Fall? My NAT scores weren't the best - I scored a 50, 26 and 62 on the NAT sections (138 * .64 = 88.32 points for the NAT) I have 97 points from my prereqs for a total of 185.32. I know I can score higher on that first section of the NAT. I called to schedule the NAT again and was reminded that I have to wait 90 days. I'll retake in May and reapply prior to 6/1. Does FCCJ use your highest NAT score? or your most recent?

I'll be applying for Fall '09. Didn't make the cut-off for Summer '09. FWIW - Summer cut off was 190.24. They had 397 applications for 96 slots. I ranked 126th with a score of 185.32. So between my score and the cut off of 190.24 there were 30 people across those 4.94 points. It's very competitive folks (but we've heard that, right?)!! I'm going to retake the NAT in May - I know I can get a better score!

Didn't make the cut. I had 185.32 points. I was ranked 126th - and they filled all 96 slots. The cut off was at 190.24 points. I'm going to retake the NAT and apply for Fall 2009. Good luck to those of you who made it...hopefully I'll see you in the Fall.

Called the nursing office and was told 'letters are still being mailed' and that they cannot give information over the phone. UGH

Nothing here yet - ugh!!! A catalog, magazine, insurance stuff...blah blah blah

Hi Jacks...yes...I called today. I saw your post and thought, 'heck...I'm off, I'll call!' I don't know why they'd have to send to the Prez...It really seems like they'd take all of the applications and sort into 2 stacks - Meet Critieria and Don't Meet. Then it's a matter of verifying points, county of residence and ranking. Count down to the magic number and then send the "Don't Meet" stack and the ones below the cutoff a 'Dear John' letter. I know I'm over simplifying things...but sheesh...the waiting is driving me nutso!

I called the nursing office and was told that the list had been sent to the president's office and that 'she' had no idea when the letters would be sent out. Ugh. So that sounds like another week to me (IMHO).

smash116...yeah, I called FCCJ on the 4th (I had to look it up in my notes LOL) and the woman told me they were planning to mail them the 3rd week in March. So she told you 3rd or 4th week? Ugh...guess it's taking longer than they planned? Either that or they're waiting for new logo stuff to mail? Waiting.....and....waiting....and....waiting....and....waiting...ugh! :sleep:
