I applied via the CUNY system, specified LPN, and waited, and waited, and waited for an admissions decision. Finally, I got one -- an acceptance! Silly me thought it was for the LPN program because well, that's what I applied for! So I waited some more for the rest of the information they said they would send via email and USPS, and I tried contacting them...and I called dozens of times, left half a dozen messages, emailed multiple times, and only actually talked to a person a handful of times, and most of those times, the people were rude and not at all helpful.
Today, things were different. I called the department of nursing directly (again) and I spoke with someone who told me a very different story than anyone else. I hadn't been accepted into the LPN program because in order to even apply you have to have attended MEC for at least 1 semester. Um, what?? Absolutely nowhere does it say any of this! Not on the application, not on the website...and no one in admissions or advisement or the registrar seemed to catch on to it either!
So now I've wasted almost 2 weeks planning on going to a school that has wasted my time and I only have about a week to try and get things in place for the other school I applied to (Trocaire College) which I am sure I got into the LPN program at. I have to get the paperwork done, buy whatever I need, find housing...all in a week!!
I am beyond upset with MEC, but I guess I just have to move on, and people can use my story to gain insight, I hope.
