Waiting to hear from CACC

Published

has anyone recieved their acceptance letter? I have called and they told me the middle of July which makes no sense because classes start Aug 15! Why does it take so long? I am nervous and anxious!

hopefully we will be in nursing together next year! My name is candace!

Well, that is awful! I just can't believe mistakes like that get made and not corrected. Did you talk to anybody at CACC about it, that you had not even applied at Gadsden? I'm going to talk to them tomorrow. There were a few people involved in my mix-up that was said to be fixed on deadline day that I'm hoping somebody remembers it enough to get my application at least looked at and considered. I'm 35, so I feel like I don't have another year to wait to get started. I want to start now! :)

yea... I guess you have to just stay on them... I did talk to cacc last year and they just said I'm sorry basically.. That they couldnt do anything about it cause they had already given acceptance letters out..

Yeah, that's what I'm kind of expecting to hear, but keep your fingers crossed for me. Hopefully I'll talk to somebody sympathetic to the situation and that the ladies involved will remember me hand delivering my sealed transcript to them on 5/27. It's out of my hands now.

how do LPN points add up??

You get 30 points for each A, 20 for B, 10 or C. They take your ENG101 and MTH100 grades and add it to your COMPASS score and then you get up to 11 points for your GPA, for a total of 170 points.

I have you at 159, 30 for math, 30 for English, 94 for compass, and 5 points for your gpa. Did you apply to the LPN program? Was that this time that you didn't get considered for the mix-up with your transcript or last fall?

Last fall was mix up.. I have never applied to LPN.. Just Rn.. I've never considered doing lpn..

Well, because I didn't have all of my sciences out of the way, I wanted to go ahead and get started, so I applied for LPN with the intention of coming right back for my RN. I will apply for the RN next fall. I just wish they would admit more than once a year. If they really have all the applicants I hear they do, you would think they would admit two times a year for the RN program.

I know ! I did find out though that Alexander city has spring program.., so I am applying then for lpn and rn... If I get accepted into LPn in spring, can I transfer into rn in fall if I am accepted?? Does it hurt or enhance my chances? Do you think I have a good shot a lpn with 159? And I'm gonna retake compass to hopefully raise that score to atleast 96... I've got so much running through my head.

You sound like me :) Everything is running through my mind too. I think Alex City is only the LPN program, but maybe I'm wrong. Yes, I think you have an excellent shot at getting in with a 159, but you can always raise your GPA and Compass by then for more points. I'm pretty sure with the LPN program, you get out after three semesters and have to be licensed and work as an LPN for some short period of time, less than six months, and then go right back to the RN program. It's the LPN Mobility program. Where do you live? We may could ride together to Alex City. I'm thinking of reapplying myself for the spring, but I may wait for the RN program at C'burg. I haven't don't know much about the Alex City campus as far as the nursing instructors. I have a lot of friends are either at c'burg or have graduated from their nursing program, so I feel like I 'know' those instructors somewhat :)
