Congrats to all that got in! To those that didn't, keep at it. Retake classes at other schools if it's your GPA, take the new classes at RCC for more pts., get your CNA, etc. It took 2 rounds of applying at different schools before I was accepted to RCC. Just don't give up.
I'm excited to meet my new classmates on Jan. 8th. I'm starting a Facebook group so we can communicate in the meantime. Please post some of your Facebook names so I can invite you to the group.
