Question about the application to GCC

I recently placed my application with GCC. The lady who took my application told me I had to wait to get it "approved." Once it was approved, I would get the email about making my choices etc. So my question is, how long does it take from the time you turn in your application until you get that approval email so that I can officially get on the list? The wait is already long enough. When I went to apply, I asked to see an advisor like the website says, but they said they do not do it that way..you just give your application to the enrollment people. It just felt a little too informal for me. I thought it would be more of a process. Now I am worried that my application will take longer. Does anyone know about this or have experienced this at GCC? Also, does anyone know how "long" the wait is right now? I just assume it's 2 years and if it's less, I'll be happy. Thanks:)

    It usually takes them 2 months to process the application and its a 2 yr wait to get in! I applied aug of 09 and my date stamp is october 09.

    I applied in July 09 at GCC and my date stamp is Aug 14 09.

    It just depends on when you apply in relation to when they process the applications. They process with date time stamps every 2 months: Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec.

    You may squeeze into Oct processing...good luck! :)

    BTW...my experience was the same as you...I just handed my application to someone in enrollment.

    Every 2 months all applications at all of the MCCD colleges are given a date and random time stamp. This happens every feb/mar, apr/may, jun/jul, aug/sept, oct/nov, dec/jan, in the following month of the period.

    For instance, I got a date timestamp of 8/13/10 08:00:32, but I applied the middle of July. On August 13th they took all applications from june and july and gave them a timestamp. Everyone that applied in june and july has an August 13th date, but the timestamp part is random.

    If you just applied in september, then you should be getting your timestamp soon. If you applied in october, they won't do your timestamp until december. Some colleges enter your application right away when you apply so you can access the website, but you won't see a timestamp. Some of the colleges wait until the 2 month period is up and then enter them all into the system at once, which will delay your access to the website.

    The advisor at MCC told me if I hadn't received an email by the end of August(the month after the application period) to contact her.

    Hope that helps,

    You have all been very helpful...I guess I didn't quite understand the timestamp and application process..it was kinda confusing. Thanks for clearing it up for me. Now I will just do as everyone else does and that is WAIT!!
