Hi PinkC. I saw that you will also be applying to PCC. I am planning on submitting my application there this week.

Our stats are kind of similar, except I do not have my Bachelors.

Science gpa: 4.0

Overall gpa: 3.58

Degree: A.A.

Volunteer: 200+

I did not include cpr, got it 2 days after application submission

2nd language: ASL

Life experiences: low income, disadvantaged social environment, difficult personal circumstance

TEAS: 88.7 (1st attempt)

I feel like I'm going to juuust shy of being selected due to no healthcare experience such as CNA or EMT.

But still going to hope for the best!

Good luck to you!

Yes I'm interested in applying to Pcc, but prefer Rio Hondo. Your stats are very competitive! I hope we find out soon! Good luck!

@PinkC

I would prefer Rio Hondo as well, only because I've read a few negative things about PCC on another thread. However, I don't much about Rio Hondo's program. What is your reason preferring RHC over PCC? Your stats are great! I think you will get in for sure. =)

But honestly, I'd be happy to be accepted at any program. It's all about being able to adapt.

I've also read negative reviews for PCC. I'm also looking at NCLEX passing rates. Rio is higher than PCC. Rio is a lot closer to me. I have a few friends who went to Rio and would recommend their program. The only bad thing about Rio that I can think of is parking. Oh gosh it took me an hour to find parking when I dropped off my application. But like you, I would be grateful if any program accepts me :)

I called Rio's nursing department yesterday. The lady on the phone said they will send out notices to those who have been selected the last week of October.

I'm glad you were able to get a hold of someone other than the woman who always seems to answer and only tells me, "In November...okay, Bye". Haha!

It's a surprise that you even got that information. Thanks for sharing!

lchang14 · Oct 27, 2018

@pandaeyes

lol...

Well, I was kind of persistent to get the information. She did start by telling me in November, but I was like, umm, but the fire safety meeting is November 9th. Don't we need to have a little advance notification? Haha. So she was like, we'll be sending out notifications FIRST to those who have been accepted the last week of October.

**fingers crossed** Hope we'll all get some good news this week!
