So we are still looking at the middle to end of October. Another month and a half! *Breath* =)

That would be nice. This whole thing is very stressful and it will only get worse!

I also contacted the nursing office and indeed the deadline has been moved up to Oct 3rd. However I was told acceptance letters would be sent out 2 to 3 weeks after that. So we will still be getting letters at the same time as if the deadline was in September.[/quote']
I applied yesterday. They said we should know something by first week of December. Waaaaaaa!!!!!!!

"Yes, there was an administrative decision to extend the deadline for the Spring 2014 application submission to October 3rd. The students who have submitted their applications will be notified approximately 2-3 weeks from the deadline of whether they have been accepted or not into the program. There should sufficient time for students to prepare for the upcoming semester. For the students who are accepted they will receive a packet and attend an orientation session that will assist them in preparing for the Spring 2014 semester. "

That was the email I received from the nursing department when I asked about when I should except to know acceptance. Perhaps people who applied earlier get to know earlier? Hope so because I do not want to wait until December to find out :/

I haven't received any emails from them. Oh no, I hope nothing is wrong with my application. I did call on Friday and was told for sure the last day is Oct 3. When I asked if we would find out in about six weeks the answer was "about". I hope they send letters since I am not getting emails from them. Another thing to worry about. :cyclops:

The deadline has now been moved to December 9. This is unreal.

Wen902 · Oct 4, 2013

Disregard, I emailed them and the deadline was yesterday. They said the selection process will begin in one week and those chosen will know shortly thereafter.

Wen902 thanks for making that correction, because it is important that we stay factual and supported on this site, and not spread unsubstantiated rumors. We all, those of us who have applied, are more than likely, in a stress mode of being very inquisitive about what is going to happen to us in getting into the program. However, I make this comment, because every since August 19, 2013 until Oct 3, 2013 , you have presented questions from rumors, that you claimed you heard, yet posed them as questions, which actually leads to rumors. Yet if they were true rumors...what is the relevance, I ask,...well so what...don't attend WCCCD. I have been following this site of comments since I applied in May 2013, and I have never felt a need to comment until your last comment Oct 3, 2013. Because no matter how unsubstantiated your comments have been, that comment hit home. If your comment had been true...that would mess with my time table of putting my life on a very different schedule. The very next morning, Oct 4, 2013, I called WCCCD nursing office, for the first time, to verify and clarify your information that you put on this site. I not only talked to the Dean, but 2 staff members, who all stated unequivalently that date had not been moved again, and everyone for Spring 2014 hopefuls would hear within 2-3 week, at the latest 4weeks. And by the way, they apologized sincerely for people who feels that they need to put out rumors to show that they are in the know. All I am saying to you and anyone else who choose to put information on this site, be supportive, be factural (no hear say), don't try to impress, be a team player, and by all means keep us informed...because this is my life's goal and I don't need any additional stress. I would also like to Thank SmackerNurse, Darien, NayNayRN2b, and Trish_pkh...for keeping it REAL!

I apologize everyone for the wrong info.

Wen902, Again, I thank you for your correction. However, as I have indicated, I have been one of the silent ones, who have set back and watch the flurry of rumors, in that I have, followed this site for quite a while, quietly looking on, viewing the comments, suggestions, and rumors, and felt that there was no need to comment...until you made that last rumor error...that effected me personally. That is when I had to follow up on the facts. I have noticed, throughout your 55 posts, starting back with the WCCCD Spring 2013 hopefuls, several students have had to correct you on wrong rumored information. Particularly on the August 19, when several WCCCD nursing students and a graduate, had to come on board this site, to address and correct the rumor of WCCCD nursing students not being hired at Children Hospital (DMC)...of course there were several more, but I think you get my point. I do not wish to discourage any ones opinion or discussion on this sight. But again...all I am saying, to you and anyone else, who choose to put information on this site, be supportive, be factual (no hear say), don't try to impress, be a team player, and by all means keep us informed...because this is my life's goal and I don't need any additional stress, nor does anyone else. We all are going to make it...now or later...because all of us are great candidates to become GREAT NURSES, at WCCCD or some place else!

Not that I need to justify anything I have said but you are implying I am a troublemaker, I'm not and I'm not trying to impress anyone. I thought I had reliable information about a new date and I spoke before I should have. I said I was wrong to do that and apologized. We have all worked hard to get to this point and waiting to hear something that will change your life adds to the stress. The thread about the DMC was information I heard from someone working there and I wanted the opinion of WCCCD nurses because that is the best place to get the information on that topic. Nurses and students were kind enough to offer advice and information, which is what these forums are for. In the Spring 2013 hopeful thread I had the wrong medical math number. At the time WCCCD had two medical maths ALH105 and HSC100. I did not realize there were two and did not spread a rumor.

WCCCD is the school I have always wanted to attend and this is my one chance. Hopefully all of us get good news soon, good luck.
