Tacoma Community College Fall 2019

Published

Good Morning! I have applied for the Fall/Winter lottery at TCC and am just anxiously awaiting the email and lottery. Any other applicants on here? Anyone else contacted the school for an update? Its been almost 5 weeks and I know they have 6 but other schools are requiring attendance responses and I really want to know if I got in.

Wait they video it? What does that mean??

Apparently the lottery is this super serious drama that starts with someone literally rolling a pair of dice to pick a starting number. They enter that number into a computer and hit enter and the computer randomizes the rest. That was my understanding of the weird system she described. Lol Usually there are HUNDREDS of people qualified for the lottery!

That's my understanding of it too. And I think...maybe, someone was probably accused of fixing the lottery or something in the past, so they video tape for security.

There were about 80 in the spring. NurseD, do you think it's the new changes to pre-reqs and having a CNA cert that caused the numbers to be so low this quarter?

This is the first quarter they are being super firm about all the requirements. They changed a LOT and I'm sure it will take people a bit to ensure they have all the new requirements so they can qualify. We hit the golden time to apply, apparently. I'm still in shock!!

I'm sure it will have changed a little, but I also found an older nursing handbook for the program if you want to check it out. I know I'm a SUPER nervous nerd and want to know ALL THE THINGS so I thought I would share.
