Hello, I am in fall 2016 and the schedule is pretty hectic, just know you will be in school Mon-Fri. If you get cohort B you get mondays off and if you get cohort A you get out early in Thursdays.

What time is the school day typically over? Does the time vary each day or is it consistent?

Hey everyone I applied for Spring 2017 too !! :) I'm a little nervous because I have 75 points total. Do you think I have a chance ? And good luck to everyone! I took the TEAS in 2012 and got an 80.

I believe you have a chance, but I would study and retake the teas just to boost your points.

Scoring a 90 or higher would boost your points by 5

I'm not sure about other schools but RCC only accepts your first passing score on the TEAS. Although, I am not sure how they are handling it with the new TEAS, as far as which score they are taking. I think I remember Jackie saying that they are accepting the higher of the two scores. I took the TEAS VI and it was horrible. I am a smart person, all A's in my sciences (I was the one who set the curve for everyone else.) but I only got a 79.8% on the TEAS. It was a lot more in depth than I ever learned!

Hey did any of you guys submit a letter for the financial hardship or need to work along with your RCC app for the five points?

Don't worry, Jackie said no proof of need to work is needed.

Ahh people are already getting Chaffey acceptance letters! Haven't gotten anything yet. They make you accept your offer by October 17th! That's crazy what if I wanted RCC but I get into Chaffey.. and if I don't get hear anything from Chaffey I'm gonna pray so hard I get RCC. Lol you guys this is too much.
