Hi everyone. So (with a lot of luck) my Student ID number was chosen in the lottery for Spring 2010 entry. I just wanted to know what the process is from here. Is there anyone who was chosen in the lottery for Winter 2010 that knows the process after the lottery? Also, I was wondering what the first quarter would be like, as far as orientation and scheduling goes. Thanks! Im definitely excited/nervous to start in March!!

Hey, I got in too!! For Spring 2010. I'm so excited yet nervous.

Thats so cool! Did you send the reply email with the attachment. I found it hilarious how they sent us the email letters today, and expected us to respond to it by 5pm today. Luckily I checked my email.

Yes, I did sent the attachment, but I sent it to the wrong email. I resent it but it was after 5pm so hopefully I'm still in.. :confused: I'm also not sure If I should continue because I live all the way in Bellevue. I applied to other schools close to home, but Its so compatative I don't know if I will get in. I have to get above 80 on TEAS exam!! I Hope I find someone to carpool with.. :idea:

yeah same here. well when christine brubaker called me, she said to email it "tonight" and didnt state what time. Yeah i think you should still be in as long as you sent it. I actually live in blaine, but im going to be living in bothell for 2 months with my sister. im going to have to communte from there. Nowadays, wherever I can get in is where im going to go. lol. but try calling susan ames's office, and she will tell you if she recieved it or not. Thats what I did. congrats, and looking forward to staring this march!

Hey there! I got into the Spring Quarter class as well and I am sooooo excited, I feel like getting here took forever! I am also glad I checked my email about a billion times that day so I responded in time, I would have been so mad if I missed the deadline! Well I am excited to start next month! It will be nice to know other people before class starts too I also live pretty far away and applied to many places but decided that I am gonna go wherever I can get in first lol! I would hate to turn this down and then not get in anywhere else!

Hey!! Congrats! on getting in:) have any of you guys receive an email about orientation? Do you know when Spring quarter starts.. Well, I can't wait to start and meet my new classmates.

I think the quarter starts on the 29th of march I got one email that said they received my reply and that orientation info would be coming soon but that is it.

Yep, I got that same email sometime on Friday afternoon (I think they have been busy doing two lotteries, when they've only done one at a time until now). Also yep, that's when the quarter starts. Do you guys know anyone that was successful with the part-time lottery? (I got full-time)

khowe · Feb 15, 2010

No I don't know any part-time students. I don't even know anyone who attends TCC. HAHAHA That is what makes me so nervous about starting this program :) I have no idea who anyone is.

condanchri · Feb 15, 2010

Yeah, me neither - but that's what's good about this website. At least we get to know each other a little bit before hand. I'm nervous too - but excited as well.

Has anyone that was accepted to Spring 2010 TCC Nursing received any news on a forthcoming orientation meeting? I got an email last Friday that said they would be sending out an email regarding orientation, but have not heard anything since. I'm trying to get going on financial aid but don't want to "jump the gun."

Thanks!
