@Pegasus. I originally applied for July 2012 cohort and did my phone interview in June. I needed to finish a class so my application rolled over to January 2013. I didn't do anything with the email either considering i still haven't received an acceptance letter. When i opened the attachments they even give us a student id number. Im beyond confused and just hate to wait until December :-/

Hi everyone. I applied for the January 2013 start date and I actually got an acceptance letter yesterday. I also got that e-mail from financial aid and starting the process early. Did any one else hear if they were accepted yet for the January term?

@Jodihvt. Do you live in Orlando area already? Also, did u also get a second email from fin aid saying " This is not an acceptance just encouraging to begin fin aid process early in the event you are offered an acceptance." (something along those lines). Still havent received an acceptance so just wondering if im stuck waiting another few months to hear anything. Admissions lady emailed me saying im all set to be considered for early admission into January class; at this point im thinking my 77% on Teas was not enough ... any feedback?

I do not live in Orlando; I actually live in Vermont :). I did not get a second e-mail from financial aid but Pam (in admissions) actually said she was going to send an e-mail "stating it was not an acceptance notice". It is probably because when I got that first e-mail, the day they met, I did forward it back and asked her what it meant (accepted or not?) since I was confused. So I think she thought that others prob were confused with the emails too. In regards tothe TEAS exam I actually got lower than that so I would not stress about that too much. Hopefully you will get your letter soon!!! I know that they were looking at "completed applications" on Wednesday and also some out ofstate applicants with 1 prereq. outstanding (which is what I was). So as long as I pass A&P2, I have a spot.

Thanks for responding so quick! I have all prereqs done AND live in Orlando with 77 teas score. I was wondering if out of state people already received their early acceptance because then im sure my application was not considered for early decision. Im thinking i would have received a letter already... still wondering and waiting :-/

Congratulations Jodihvt. Am waiting to hear from Remington too for the early decision. When did you have your phone interview? I had mine last Friday with Ms. Pam, live in Orlando,and my applications completed, but have not received any letter. I pray something comes through before the end of the week.

Jodihvt · Oct 5, 2012

Eniso, I had my interview the week before September 24 week. I wish they made all decisions sooner for people. I hope they will review more applicates soon, so more know. I hope more find out soon, espically those who will be looking for roomate, since that is where I am at now.

Pam emailed me today and said that if you havent received a letter by now, you probably have not been considered for early decision :-/ They will look at everyones applications in November. Accepted people for Remington for January class...do you mind sharing GPA/TEAS scores? Though I do understand RCON looks into applications as a whole, not only scores. Good luck everyone :-D

Eniso · Oct 5, 2012

Thanks for your response. How I wish too, well, I will keep on believing for the best.

Eniso · Oct 5, 2012

That would be nice to know, at least for us to know the scores considered for early decision.

I had my phone interview September 20th and they sent out my early admission acceptance letter on September 26th. I was told before I was accepted that they would send out my letter quickly because I was from out of state, NY, so that I would have time to find living arrangements.

Teas 84

Science GPA 3.9

Overall GPA 3.1

Good luck to everyone! Where is everyone looking to live? I have never been to this area of florida so I'm not sure what neighborhoods I should be looking in. Any advice would be welcomed!

CongratsSoccermang21 on getting accepted!

I had an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.6 and my science are around 3.4 rightnow (still have to complete A & P 2, will be done in December with that.Test taking is not my strong point, so I got 72 on TEAS exam. I defiantly thinkthought that the overall profile you present to them is reviewed, not oneaspect is most important.

Soccermang21, are u from upstate area? I live in VT, southern part, so curiousif I know the area you live around. So obviously those who live around the areawould know best. But I actually did go down end of summer and looked at collegeand area, and did some vacation things in Florida. I thought Lake Mary wasnice, kept up nice and a lot of things you need at a very close distance(shopping, grocery stores, pharmacy, ect). When I was down there I did toursome of the facilities on the list Pam can give you. Not sure if she sent thatto you. It gives list of places students have stayed and liked it, (clean, notto noisy, good experience). I am in the same boat you are though. I am sure some places could be cheaper moretowards Orlando. Although being that I do not know that area that well I likedthe thought of being close to the school and having less distance to travel. Iliked some of the place I looked at and one of them, Pebble Creek (I believe),12 or so of the students who were enrolled in program at the time lived there.I am looking for a roommate, so my rent and expenses would not be so high. Ifanyone is interested, let me know, we could talk.
