Hello, I also applied to CCAC and got in but if I go I will be attending North Campus. I had actually applied to 2 other schools, however, they are taking so long to let me know whether I got in that I think I'm going to go with CCAC. I'm a little nervous because I've heard some really bad things about CCAC (all campuses) but hopefully it won't be that bad. When I took the NET test I left North Campus saying I will never go there because the lady giving the test was extremely mean.lol go figure. Anyways congratulations and hopefully it's not as bad as I've heard!

I applied for this school back in Jan and received a call today to set up an interview. I was just wondering how your interview went (obviously good since you got in)! Congrats I was just wondering what they asked etc? Also how long after did you have to wait to find out you got in? Thank you Laura

Yeah, I did take physics in high school (06) but didn't do that well, but I did do well on the Shadyside test but there were a lot of electricity questions and things like that and I had no clue what the answers were. I did go see Shadyside in March and I really liked it. It is more modern then WPHSON but I'm partial to WPHSON because I'm a former student of Clarion University and I've wanted to go back since I left. I do think that Shadyside has a nicer facility and more technology so in that aspect I like Shadyside more. I've read all the blogs on here and people do seem to really like Shadyside so if I end up getting into both it's going to be a very hard decision. We talked to the students at Shadyside, who were giving the tour, and they all seemed to like it. They said it was really hard but that the teachers give you everything you need to get a good grade. I also like that they have tuition assistance since i have 3 years of undergrad loans. Just to let you know when applying to Shadyside I talked to Natalie and she let me send everything (application, transcripts, recommendations) all in one big package, which was a lot easier. Of course everything had to be in there own sealed envelopes but that way I know everything got to Shadyside without problems and she can sit down and look at it all, instead of waiting for it all to get to the school but just thought I would let you know also as of March 14th they still hadn't even sat down to start looking at applicants.

Yeah, I've also applied at Shadyside...don't stress the test it's really not that bad. The only part that I thought was difficult was the science section but since your in chemistry right now that should really help. I just got my application out to them on Friday. I also applied to CCAC North but my transcripts from my high school didn't get to them by the deadline so I think its a long shot to get in there. It's just a matter of waiting now! Good luck on Shadyside's test!

I haven't emailed them but thats a really good idea because I left 2 messages last week with them and can never get a response. I think I will email them this afternoon.:typing Yeah the chemistry thing would make me kind of nervous too, but if they see your taking it now I wouldn't think it would be a huge issue, hopefully. I'm actually moving from Central PA (Williamsport Area). I have not decided where I'm going live I thought about maybe just dealing with living at WPHSON (though the last thing I want to do is suffer through dorm life again) but I'm not sure. I def wouldn't be there the whole time because I'm getting married next year. My fiance is from Butler and works in Butler and never wants to leave Butler so we are looking for housing near 28 or route 8. I also though really like the area the hospital is in but there is no way I'm going to get him to drive through traffic like that everyday. Anyways have you applied anywhere else?

I'm currently waiting to hear from WPHSON. I applied back in January and still have yet to hear from them...I'm patient but it's taking it's toll on me. I went to the information session in March and they told us that there were 40 some spots still available so in those regards we should still have a shot. It's just a waiting game but I'm hoping to hear something soon because I need to move 4hrs to go to WPHSON so I'd really like to start looking for places etc. Let me know if you hear anything from them and good luck...they are my first choice and I would love to be a student there. P.S. If you need to call them, plan on calling everyday They never answer the phones or return calls. Laura
