Yes I got into my first choice, NWCC. Yay!

Hey NEF, did you get your letter yet???

Yes, NEF.. and that's where I took all my pre-reqs.

I got A's in all of the pre-reqs, I have a few B's in non-nursing co-reqs from wayyyyyyyyyy long time ago (like English and Psych). My current GPA is 3.97 however when you tie in some of my lower grades from other schools it does drop a little, so I'm guessing my NGPA was around a 3.6 or so? I got somewhere around an 85 or something on my TEAS V. I took it once before even taking chem just to get a baseline and came out with that... thought it was such a pain in the butt test that I didn't bother trying to take it again. I thought it was good enough, and turns out I was right!

IT's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELL I checked my mail this morning and the school sent me something, date stamped YESTERDAY... something completely unrelated to nursing... but still, it made it here in one day, what's the delay with the nursing letter? Ugh. Are they coming from Hartford or from the individual colleges? I'm guessing from Hartford... since it's taking longer than the mail from my college. Hopefully tomorrow! BTW my mail gets here by 10am most days... so if it's here tomorrow, I'll be sure to come on here and post that it came!

Kbatch.... the info packet says that you must submit ALL transcripts, regardless of whether or not they apply as transfer credits. If it says you must do this, and you ignore it... and then after being accepted they somehow find out (which, if you ever received financial aid they can find out very easily), they can kick you out for "academic dishonesty." Just keep that in mind.

Good luck!! Where are you taking it?

ooops... The other one had 2011 instead of 2012... let's try this again: Just thought I would start a new thread for the current application cycle. Questions... stats... rumors... etc! My question is... for those applying this cycle, how did you do on the TEAS V? Since this is the first year they are using this test, it would be nice to see how everyone is doing. (Please don't post TEAS 3 or TEAS 4 results, as the scores are NOT comparable with the TEAS V.)

It doesn't matter which of the CC's you take your pre-req's at... and yes many of the "soft sciences" are available online. I have done everything online except for the classes that require a lab. I am at NWCC in Winsted, and am an "evening only" student. So far I really enjoy the education that I'm getting at NWCC (and I have taken classes at UConn, Tunxis, Asnuntuck, etc). As far as scheduling, Human Bio is offered during the day in the fall, but evenings in the spring. Lifespan Development is offered online in the summer, Chem is offered both day and evening each semester, and A&PI/II are both evenings as well... everything else is offered online!

Northwestern CT Community College in Winsted offers a strictly night/weekend program (classes & clinicals). I believe it's Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings... and it goes through the summer as well.

STCC in Springfield has a ultrasonographer degree and certificate program. Not sure how close you are to the state line, but it's a straight-shot up I-91 and pretty easy to get to.

You'll have to take pre-reqs no matter what program you go for... I'd say take your pre-req sciences at a community college and then apply to a MEIN program.

I don't know anything about the other schools... but NWCC in Winsted doesn't start until the following spring. (So if you apply Fall 2011, you wont start classes until Spring 2013). This one is also nights and weekends, and goes through the summer. I'd say apply to whichever school is closest commute for you. Remember that your clinicals aren't AT the school, and what if they are an hour away from the school in the OPPOSITE direction? Keep all of those things in mind as you chose where to apply. Also look into the class sizes, times, etc and see which one would work best for YOU.

Did you take all of your pre-req's at Goodwin? If that is the case.., they won't transfer to any of the CT Comm Colleges, and you'll most likely have to take them again. Keep that in mind as you make your decisions.
