Hi everyone!! I applied to Southern Westchester Boces and I am scheduled to take my entrance exam next Thursday. I am looking for anyone who has attended or has recently been accepted to the school. Or even anyone who knows anything about the test and scores needed in order to get accepted. I'm getting very nervous about the exam and any advice would be appreciated. I am curious to know how students are accepted - what scores are they looking for? Thank you!
Hi
I have been reading all the posts here, to get more information on this process. I took my test June 18, received my test results on July 9th. I made it in the 90th percentile. I was called for an interviewed July 12th. My interview was for July 15. Just today, I received the HW, so I called and mention that i have not received a official acceptance letter. I was told that I was accepted :) . I am going to be doing the day program. I think we should keep in touch, to learn and help each other through this process.
I want to know if anybody knows about financial aid, if we are covered by $ 5, 500 from PELL, and the tuition is $10, 200, how do we cover the difference?
Hey Gleidsa! We're all attending the day program as well. I received just the hw assignment as well, glad you called and asked lol. Did they say u were gonna get anything else in the mail, cuz we have to pay a deposit within 2 weeks. But I have no info about it either.
I was also wondering about the financial aid, I got pell as well, and I wanted to get a stafford loan but I heard on orientation they go over financial aid.
I guess I should call tomorrow instead of waiting, I don't want to lose my spot.
Btw. When is orientation, and first day of school? ( sorry if my spelling or words dont make sense, I'm trying to type on my iPhone lol)
Hi, Mr. Pink. I am glad you reply to my post. I have noticed that in prior year students have been very supportive towards each other during this process. I think we should do the same.We all have so many questions. I just received the HW today( I though it was the acceptance letter), but I was told on the phone that the acceptance letter is in the mail; it was funny that the HW got here before the letter. About orientation and the next step, I don't know; hoping that the acceptance letter contained all that information. Let's keep in touch and good luck!!!!!!!
So meme and deedee. Today I got the summer work assignment. But it didn't say anything about being accepted( but im wfiguring i did. But wasn't I suppose to get a letter sayin I was accepted and about the deposit to save my spot for thE semester? Did u guys get separate mail from then about the hw and deposit information. Any input I'll appreciate
Last year I got my acceptance letter first, then after I paid the first payment, I got the homework assignment.
Call the school for clarification, seems to me that you are in, study those words and try to get a high score.
Find out from the school when your first payment is due, you don't want to blow this one.
God bless and all the best, keep me inform.
Lol I know, my friend comes home and shakes me to wake up because I got a letter from Sw Boces. I started freaking out, and when i open it im like, hw? Where's the welcome letter lol. But I was still excited lol
Yea I know all the other students were really supportive, we should do the same it'll help us all get through this journey alive! Lol.
I will keep in touch with all new info, and just sharing before we start! Good luck!
Thanks for the welcome. I have my financial aid meeting on friday. Hopefully I will qualify for something. And yes we definitely need to get out study group going and in full effect. There is strength in numbers. Im just trying to enjoy my summer the best way i can for now lol.
Oh yea maybe I didnt receive.my assignment yet because I just paid my deposit last week. I guess
