Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

Published

I submitted my application to CSCC at 9:00 am this morning. Later today, I found out that dozens of other people had the same idea. They camped out in the computer lab and all waited to hit the 'enter' key at 9:00 am. The application was supposedly for Spring '11, but only a few people will get in due to the overwhelming number of applicants from the Fall '10 crowd. I'm fairly certain that I will not start until almost a year and a half from now. I find this frustrating, considering I have the same chance of getting in as someone who has much lower grades than mine (I have a 3.9 GPA). Are there any good alternatives to Columbus State out there?

anyone think we will get letters this month for the July '10 application date??? I really hope they don't wait until October. It would be nice if they sent them out before Autumn quarter so I know if I need to add another class. Trying to get all my extra classes done before nursing starts, but don't want to rush them if I am going to get wait listed for Fall '11 start.

The mid-January application date heard back in mid-March I believe so I would imagine mid to late September would be a realistic expectation. If I was making the decisions, I would want to get it all done before a new group of students started!! I'm compulsively checking my mail - the postman at my apt complex knows me and what I'm looking for :)

LOL! I know, I'm a little OCD about my calender. I already have things written in for next year. It drives me nuts not know what to plan for.

Got my letter this morning so hopefully yours will be waiting for you when you get home!

I did end up getting wait listed though. Not to upset about it, gives me a chance to finish all other classes so I can focus only on my nursing courses during the program.

Good luck!

I got my letter!! I got accepted for Spring 2011 and I couldn't be happier!! :) Can't wait to hear from some future classmates!!

Mrs.Herr - I'm glad you still have prerequisites to finish - that makes waiting a little easier!! 6 months isn't too long in the grand scheme of things :)
