I was told that we will receive emails TODAY concerning our application status.

It is not fair at all. I hope I get some valuable info tomorrow. Will keep u posted

I was at the edge of giving up until I read stories online of students being contacted few days before the start of nursing school. At this moment I think it is best for us to go to CCBC to see what's going on. That's our best option especially when I heard that our semester starts next Monday. That's 7 days from now!

I called the school and spoke to an advising lady. She contacted the director of nursing on my behalf but she was told that he cannot share such information with her. I am planning on going there on tomorrow.

Well, we haven't received letters of rejection yet, which means that there's still hope. Hang in there. I will give them until Friday. If I don't hear anything from them, then I will sign up for classes and apply to a different nursing school for fall

Do you know anyone besides us that's on the wait list

Hmm u already have a first degree?

Yeah I have not even register for classes because I'm convinced I will get in. What about u

I also applied to the Catonsville ATB Towson. I was told that school start on the 23rd of January for first year nurses. That's like in 2 weeks from now!

Same to you. Most likely we will be informed next week. I Will talk to u then

On Google, type CCBC online bookstore catonsville. If your location is Essex, then type Essex. Then select spring 2017, and scroll down to nursing. Then I went to CCBC online bookstore and choose nursing 153. I purchased the books cheap on Amazon. Also try eBay. My stethoscope and BP cuff was also purchased on Amazon. Stethoscope is from Littman and BP cuff is from Prestige medical. I have been told it is very important to invest in stethoscope so that you can hear. Some stethoscope are so cheap that u can't even hear anything.

Exactly. It sounds crazy but I already went ahead and purchase some of books needed for the program. I have been studying a lot during the break. I Aready have my stethoscope, blood pressure cuffs and other necessities. Lol I don't like doing things in the last minutes. I also heard that nursing school have a long shopping lists. Therefore, we need to get ready financially. I have been doing that. I'm now just waiting for the result.

This is the beginning of January. I checked CCBC forum for Spring 2016 and saw that some of the students that were waitlisted fwere contacted on the 6th and 9th of January 2016. We are in this same week and i still haven't heard anything. Contacting the school for information is useless because they wont give it out. I spoke to the Nursing advisor for my position on the wait list but i didn't receive any helpful information. SMH... we have no choice but to continue to wait. This is like 3 months of waiting!

If you were waitlisted for spring 2017, have you received a phone call yet?

Hey, have CCBC contacted you about your status on the wait list?

Don't loose hope. I applied at catonsville atb towson and I am also on the wait list. I just pray that they let us know before the end of the year

I am also on the waiting list! I have taken ALL of the classes needed for the program prior to applying. I guess my science gpa wasnt strong enough.

How do I check my Simone account to find out

What did you click to check your status on Simone

Already! This was pretty fast. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Whew It's good to know that's not my final GPA. What month should we expect notifications of acceptance

Gwyn from Catonsville calculated my prerequisite GPA and it was 3.3. BUT my GPA on the CAS application is around 2.58 for the sciences and 2.98 for overall!!! I don't remember ever having below a 3.0 GPA in my entire life! There are few classes I repeated. 2 science classes actually. Does that mean they didn't calculate the highest grades of my repeated classes? Does that mean that the classes I retook, including microbiology, was in vain?

Wow that is similar to University of Maryland. It is good that I didn't waste my money and time applying there. We made a great choice applying to the ATB program. My prerequisites GPA is around 3.3 and I scored proficient on the TEAS with a 71.4 in reading. I know someone who got accepted into CCBC TOWSON with a 3.0 GPA. I'm sure we will be fine

Which ATB school did you choose

Besides CCBC, What other schools are you guys considering?
