TCC Spring 2008 Applicants?

Published

I was wondering how many on here are applying to TCC for Spring 2008.

I will be, I printed off the application packet this morning and I've got to go thru it when I get home to see what all I need to get together and when testing dates etc...

TCC stands for Tarrant County College...it used to be TCJC, Tarrant County Junior College...but they dropped the Junior sometime ago and now it's just TCC.

I have applied for spring 08, attended orientation last week and took the teas exam last Saturday. My GPA overall is 4.0, my percentile for science in the teas is 87 and math 74 but the English screwed me up. If science and math really carry more weight like we were told at orientation, then I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Ladies did anyone realize how the science was not even close to the review in the book talk less about the time for the math. I was so disappointed. I 'm very scared as I wait to hear from the school to see if I am in or not. I haven't slept in days although people I know who are in the program have given me encouraging news because of my grades and completion of all the pre requites and my percentile for math and science. God help me and u all. I will keep u posted abt my status can't wait for DEC to come.

Ladyk, care to elaborate on the differences between the TEAS prep book and the actual exam?

Hendershot, the TEAS book makes you study A&P 1 &2, Chem and Physic, but none of the questions in the exam is directly related to them. It is very annoying as I studied this book to the core. The one thing good abt the book though is that, the math, is definately related to the exam.

Dropped off the application package today. It was kind of anticlimactic putting it inside of a big steel box. Now it's time to wait...

I recieved a letter today that says thanks for applying and was sent to inform me that my application is complete. I guess I'll take that as good news for now. Good luck to all applicants.

I turned my application in on Wednesday, right after I took the TEAS test. I agree with hendershot, it was alittle depressing to walk up and place my application packet in metal mailbox, but oh well! Now for the endless waiting until the letter arrives.

Good Luck to Everyone!!!!
