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. :)
I saw this one as I was looking online...I love it also, but couldn't find any reviews on it. I know I don't want a top that's itchy like the Cherokee scrubs I felt at Uniform City. lol I might just go ahead and try it if the Landau ones that I ordered don't work. Have you gotten your order in yet?
I did get my top in today and I am not 100% pleased with it, this is why I was looking online again. The main reason why I am not too happy with it is because the fabric feels scratchy, the cut is nice and it isn't too short on me but it isn't as long as my Dickie's top. I liked the one that I posted because it is supposed to be soft, at least that is what the line describes their scrubs as. I am not too keen on sending back this top and spending more on shipping for another top though so I am going to wait and see what it looks like with my pants when they get here tomorrow.
Oh no, I thought the Landau was supposed to be soft. Great....Idk when mine are supposed to be here. I don't wanna spend the money to ship mine back either. But I guess I will if the Landau aren't what I was expecting. I am definitely afraid that they'll be too short. Especially since I'm a size small....and tall. lol
Hello students.....This is my first time writing on this blog .....I am a student at HCC and just finished my prereqs....can anyone tell me if you have recieved an alternative letter with a GPA of 3.3??? That is my GPA and I am really worried it is not enough for next term....
Hey rmatineau thats great please let me know ....best of luck......and I calculated my GPA to be a 3.333333 does that mean its a 3.3 or 3.33 I hope this is not a dumb question lol thanks guys
Yup, returning the Landau top, I am just not happy with the material at all!
Are you going to order the UA Ruffle one? I thought about ordering it anyway....because of the length. So, we'll see.
Well I was about to order it but when I looked closer I noticed it has NO POCKETS and seeing as I am not getting a lab coat pockets are going to be crucial. I think I am just going to wait and see if anything new comes out in the next month or two, I already have the one shirt so I am not going to stress too much about it. Oh yeah and I am going to just exchange the shirt for another pair of pants because they won't refund the shipping but they will ship an exchange for free and I was going to get another pair at some point anyway.
Two more days and I get to order my scope, so excited!!!!!

Eww, that's true and I didn't even think of it! Is the only reason you didn't care for the Landau top because of it not being soft? You could always get one of the Koi if they fit you nicely. I didn't really like how they fit me. The Uniform City in Clrwtr had two Katherine Heigl tops on clearance for $7.99 this weekend in the color we need. They were super cute on and very comfortable. I almost got them, except that they were an XS, and it was hard to get it on/off my head. lol The last thing I want it to get something gross on it, and then have to try to get the shirt off without getting it on my face. rofl
I know you're excited about ordering your scope! The good thing with the place that I got them from, is that they had it to me in less than a week!!
