TCC Spring 2016 Applicants

Published

I hope it's not too early to start a thread for those who are planning to apply to TCC this summer for Spring 2016. I will be applying with one A and two B's. I'm getting ready for my HESI test and I hope to get a good score. For those who have applied before, has anyone ever been accepted with one A.? I'm hopeful and also nervous. So let's get the ball rolling, and help encourage each other.

We're already forming a clique ;) I'm sure she won't mind if its not a massive group. She's a nurse and likes to help newbies out but don't hold me to this... she may not be able to it just depends, I know there are strict policies of when and where.

I wonder why it is so late this time. Mayb they have a bigger application pool than we thought.

I think because the semester started later than last year... Hence the nursing staff also having a late start, but that's just my theory.. Lol and yes I want in on the celebration drinks!

That's also a possibility... @ERiding2016

I think Blindsayyy theory makes sense. Let's not get worked up. Remember the facts we were told by Katherine:

1) Applicants scores were WAY LOWER this go round.

2) Those who dropped off applications on the last day said that Katherine told them she only had about 300 applicants- so I doubt the pool went past 320. (That's a little less than 50/50 chance!)

3) Katherine was upset because "they" did not pick up the applications as of the 31st of August and that the system "they" used was needing to be fixed.

Couple that with school starting later and "they" probably having other tasks in their work load- it makes sense why there are delays.

I also think that if I were Katherine or anyone that answers the phone, I totally would give an ETA of September 30th because it stops people from calling/email/stopping by and inquiring about it. We cannot fully compare ourselves to other cycles but in the past majority found out on some random day after the 20th of the month. Either way its soon :)

Hopefully my little rant helps ease some worries :)

I forgot that the semester started late and I know right after the application period ended they had Labor Day weekend. I know if I was them I would not start really getting after them until after the holiday. I'm sure that they tell people that call or email the 30th just to stop people from bugging them. I bet they have a lot on their plate right now.

If I make it in then I'm in for drinks!! :)

Specializes in Telemetry.

13 days at the most. That's really not that bad. We'll survive! I'm hoping it's them exaggerating a bit and really we find out in the 20s. But hopefully I won't get weirdly nervous again until the 30th haha. Just gonna keep throwing myself into school and organization until then XD
