So I think we are well into the application period so, surely it is time to start up this board. I can not wait until we hear back in May. Trying to keep very busy while waiting. Good luck to everyone applying!! Hopefully we can keep each other company here and celebrate our successes!!

I haven't called either but who love to know something! Do it!

Ok, I called and I am just sick because two different people told me it will be the first week of May. I just wish my counselor hadn't told me the end of March. Setting that expectation really threw me. Of course, they may just tell people that as a general answer. If anyone else calls and gets a different answer please let us know. I guess it is really only 4 more weeks just seems like a long time.

I spoke with someone in that office last week who said it's looking like mid to late April now. This person also said to check emails. I guess that would be their first mode of contact with us (not sure).

Ok, here's my take - and I could always be wrong! The applicants who applied last time had an application deadline of Sept 30. The ones who were "accepted" were notified by cc email on October 27. I am not sure when the ones who were rejected or alternates found out. So my theory is that we will find out maybe a week or so later than they did, time wise, since March had a week of spring break. I guess that would put notification time around the first of April or so. At least, that is what I am telling myself so I don't go cRaZy! Also, the people who answer the phones seem to not know as much as the actual advisers, IMO.. I had one tell me that I needed official transcripts from other universities even if I had done a transcript evaluation a long time ago. Now, like I said, I am just holding to my theory to make myself feel better... hope it makes y'all feel better too!

I think y'all are right. I don't think the people we are talking to really know for sure. I also think that I remember reading in the Spring 2012 forum that right after they called and were told it would be a while more, then a few days later they got their emails... so hang in there everyone! I'm thinking your theory is correct, it does make me feel better!

Yeah when I applied I was told 3-4 wk turnaround! I was really thinking first of April. I sure hope it's before April 15, so I know if I should take summer courses.

I'm the same way. I've applied at a few schools and really hope to know so that I can make my decisions. I need two classes this summer if I get into the UTA program but, I really don't care to spend that money if I know I'm in at TCC. I'm sure it will all work out or the best! I'm just ready to make some decisions!!

I've been going crazy checking my email for some "news". When I turned in my packet, I was told we'd hear something in May ("maybe the beginning of May or maybe the end of May"). I know others were told to expect to hear something in 3-4 weeks. So just out of curiosity, I looked back to when last Fall applicants were told and they didn't find out until June 1st! I'm hoping that had more to do with the move to the TR campus, and won't be the case for us. I think for sanity purposes, I'm just going to hold out for the May 1 deadline because I'm driving myself nuts over here! I say that, but you can bet I'll be checking my email every bit as much! lol
