I'm sure that it's probably waaaay to early for this thread, but I figured what the heck. I have all of my application documents just about ready for submission. Just need to add the self addressed postcard and my check.
My main concern though is my Eng I credit. I already have a BS in Biology. The school I attended rewarded me with the Eng I credit based solely on my ACT score. I was originally going to apply for the Spring 2009 class and as I was reviewing my transcripts, I notice that HCC had not given me credit for Eng I. I contacted the Dean of Student Services at the DM campus about it and he referred me to the Asst Dean. From there it pretty much got ugly. My transcript originally had it listed as CLEP credit but I didn't have any CLEP scores of course. I had transferred several times and was given credit every where I went with no questions asked. Not to mention that I actually already have a BS so you would think that I wouldn't have to worry about any of the general education courses. I told all of this to the Asst Dean and the reply that I got was that the original "college awarded the credit in an unorthodox manner and that it wasn't her fault that HCC had higher standards than the other institutions that I had transferred to." Her email pretty much told me to f off in a not so nice way. It didn't help that I gave her a piece of my mind after receiving such a response. *sigh*
I managed to get my original transcript updated so that it no longer says CLEP. It says "ACT score 28" instead. I had an updated copy sent to HCC along with a letter explaining the change, however HCC has yet to update anything. That was last August. Sooooooo, I will be trotting my happy butt in to see an advisor on Friday and praying like heck that they make the change and accept the credit. Because I already have my BS, I absolutely refuse to go back and take Eng I. I'm not happy at all with HCC's administrative staff, but because I can't find another true evening nursing program that doesn't cost an arm and a leg....I'm pretty much stuck with them. I can't afford to quit my job and go to school full time...if I could I would be doing USF's accelerated program instead. :)
When I was going through the process my "progress towards degree" was never right....now that I am in the program it is correct! I am sure you all have nothing to worry about. Try to relax and breath, it is the only way you will make it through this waiting game! Good Luck and enjoy your summer!!!!!
craynholder, keep us posted how your semester is going once you start. Good luck and I look forward to hearing how class fall 2010 will do. So excited for you all.
I will do my best to keep you all updated....sure I am excited, but haven't really had time to think about it (work has been extremely busy and I have a 19 month old who keeps me moving).
Hope everyones' summer class(es) are coming to a nice end (if you are taking them) and hang in there you all will know soon enough if you got in!
Ok...we're another week closer to the "letter"!!!! I'm STILL anxious! LOL I find myself looking through my mail, even though I KNOW that the committee hasn't even met yet! (But hey, I can hope!!) ROFL
Hi! From what I've heard from nursing students who are starting the program this fall...some of them didn't get their documents marked 'received' until after they got their acceptance letters. (You can check out the HCC Fall 2010 thread if you want, cuz they talked about that while they were waiting for their letters!)
The committee isn't meeting until the middle of September, and will be sending out the letters sometime after that so we still have at least a month.
You can always email M.F. in the nursing dept to see if your app has been processed yet!
Thanks! I will check with her...I'm just getting antsy lol.
Also, I'm a CNA am trying get a PCT position at one of the local hospitals. I've applied to every open position...even nursing homes and still can't get a job. Anyone have any ins? I'm getting desperate
I just checked "my document" and see that everything is finally marked all received...... I can't wait until the nursing committee meets and makes their decision!
my documents just showed received about 2 weeks ago. I am getting super anxious on whether or not i got in. if everyone doesnt mind me asking what was your GPA you applied with?
My documents say Received except my transcripts from another school are still not received...I called up there and they told me that they have them on file. I don't understand....They've had that transcript since 2008!
my documents just showed received about 2 weeks ago. i am getting super anxious on whether or not i got in. if everyone doesnt mind me asking what was your gpa you applied with?
i was reading through the spring 2010 hcc applicant postings and saw that received their acceptance letters about the 20th of september. if that is the case we should be hearing something is less than 30 day! i can't wait!!!!
This is making me worried. When are we supposed to find out if we got in?
i can't wait!!!!
