Southwestern Illinois College Summer 2016

Published

I just thought I would start a thread for those who are applying to SWIC for Summer 2016. I have taken all my courses at other universities and I already have a Bachelor's but my courses will transfer. However, I need to take Medical Terminology and Sociology over winter break to get the 4 points in the Gen Ed section. For the Chem/Algebra/Bio section, I will have 9 or 10/12 pts depending on the grade I get in my Stats course I'm currently taking. I don't have any healthcare experience so no points there. So hopefully, if I can get the maximum pts on the Pre-Nursing Exam, I will have 21 or 22 pts..this is my goal at least. Just want to find out where others are in the application process...

You're not crazy! Lol...I've searched every too. I was thinking about it this morning, pretty sure today could be the day. I figured they'd wait til the end of the day to reduce phone calls lol. So maybe in 2-3 hours? ;-)

See, I called it! Got my letter, it's a denial like I thought. I'll get it next year though :-)

Sorry, cjmmm5. Hopefully next year will be your year!

I got my email on Friday as well. I'm in! I have a girlfriend who'll go into the office and ask anything, so they told her today the cut off was 16 this year. I think I'm planning on going to the Friday night orientation, so hopefully I'll see some of y'all there!

Congrats on getting in!!! :-)

That bums me out about the 16 points. I had so many mishaps that I missed the next grade for a percent or two. And last semester I dropped 158. Had I worked a little harder, I could have made it. :-(

I'm kind of late but I did get in! I will probably be going to the Saturday orientation though. Congrats to all who got in. Cjmmm, sorry you didn't get in..but don't give up. I got more than one denial (from other schools) before I finally got an acceptance.

Hello everyone! And congratulations on getting accepted into the Summer 16 program. I am preparing for the Summer 17 program, and I wanted to know if anyone can give me advice on the DET...how did you guys study? If you used a study guide where did you buy it from? Any reply will help thank you

Hi Ashtonmom- I tried getting in this summer but missed it. You can buy the study guide in the book store at SWIC. It's a great guide! I also downloaded the app on my phone for like $5.99. Math was pretty easy, I scored a 93-94% but English was a bear. Lots of graphs. So definitely focus on English. Everyone I've talked to, has struggled with it. Hopefully we'll be in together next summer.í ½í¸Š

Thank you at cjmmm5....Did you have pervious healthcare experience? I was a cna in Illinois but I think it's expired 😞 Do you still have any general education classes you need to take? I'm taking a&p 1 along with Chem this fall

What was the app called that you bought?

The app is called Complete DET. It really was very helpful! Algebra was a Breeze, English was definitely more tough.

What is the booked called from the college I was trying to see if I can get it else where. Also how much time do you get when taking the test?
