Western Career College (Sacramento)

Is anyone following the name change of Western Career College to Carrington Career College? If so, do you know if the admission requirements will change or remain the same? I am currently in the ARMY and in Iraq, spending my time studying the HESI Evolve Reach 2nd edition. I will be touring the school when I get stateside this August. I'm really nervous that the admissions counselor will see my 8 years in the service as a bad thing. any positive thoughts will help along with useful information is appreciated. My partner is an LVN in Sacramento and will be working full time while i go to school. I'm very fortunate for that. :)

The name change will not affect the admissions standards at Western Career College - soon to be Carrington College ™ California. Check out www.whycarrington.com. Thank you for your service.

ArmySgt-

I know only a little bit about Western Career College, but assume that the admissions process will stay the same. I know people here in Sac who attend and they only mentioned the name change and no other changes.

I think that your choice to serve in Iraq is a decision I am very grateful for and I want to tell you THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE to our country and I hope that you are able to accomplish all of your other goals easily and efficiently once you are back stateside.

Vintagemother,

thank you so much for yuor kind words. I do appreciate them. I am just thankful that my job allows me to be in a safe place here in Iraq, and not in harm's way like some of my other Brothers and Sisters. they are the true heroes. not some office mouse like me. :))

DmKaye,

i've contacted the admissions person a tthe school, and he assured me that the admissions requirements are still the same. Just the name is changing. Thank goodness.
