To All You Dallas Girls and Guys Waiting!!!

[Katydidit34]

I'm over here in Fort Worth keeping my fingers crossed for ya'll!!! I know the suspense has got to be killing you by now. I've been lurking at your DCCD post and I get a panic attack every time I see Fun2Care's countdown. LOL!!! The day I found out the TCC letters were coming out, I stalked my mailman. ROFL!! He parked down the street and once he got out of his truck to deliver mail, I went and looked in the truck and could see my packet sitting right in the very front. What an exciting day that was!! Hang in there, it won't be long now!! BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!:balloons: :icon_hug:

Your quote says your waiting for your letter, does that mean you found out already if you got in? or you don't know yet? I will keep my fingers crossed for you. :)

Still don't know. Hopefully the letter will come in today, if not, for sure this next week! :)

It doesn't, why are you asking? (I'm not sure how I'm supposed to respond.)

A waiting list means there are already 100-300 or however many people who are qualified and have been accepted to enter the nursing program. Additional applicants have to wait until their number comes up for an available seat to start the program. Some schools just take applicants every year and whoever is not accepted has to reapply the next period. I hope this is what you were asking and this clears it up.

Who would you be waiting to get into nursing school if you live in dallas and meet all the pre reqs and good gpa?

Gotcha....There are only 110 seats for El Centro & North Lake combined.

It goes by GPA, so if there are 100 4.0 students applying they would get in. Then it would go by how many 3.77 students have how many support classes done. If the remaining 10 students had all the support classes done, then it would go by the GPA of the support classes.

I hope this made since. LOL

(STILL WAITING FOR THAT DARN MAILMAN!!!!)

There are only so many seats - about six times that number of people (all of whom meet the requirements) apply...

[Priddyeyez]

oic. Thanks and good luck fun2care

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

oic. Thanks and good luck fun2care

You're welcome.

Gauge14iv is right, there are many trying to get into a few seats.

So, the wait is on. If we don't get in this semester, we will apply again for fall '06.

The waiting is killing me Fun2care!Im not waiting for a letter,so I cant imagine what you are going through! I would be driving around looking for that postman!!:)

I just know you will get in. I wish you lot's of success with it. I have decided to get out of nursing. I have been in pre req classes full time for two years making mostly A's and some B's, and lately I am reconsidering my dedication to it. I want to be an Enviromental Scientist and work with the EPA or something equivilant. So keep you your hard work and I wish you alot of luck. I may still ask a Chem question every now and then. I will still read the board from time to time, but I am leaving the nursing school career pathway. Take care.
