scsurflife82 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm a paramedic in L.A. County, live in Huntington Beach and am almost done with prereqs for RCC's program. Was wondering if anyone has any personal knowledge of the average number of attempts it takes to gain entry into RCC's PA program. I'd hate to sit around for several years applying with my fingers crossed! :D mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piglet717 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I understand that the acceptance is based on a lottery though. Will they take reapplicants (given that they were very strong applicants previously) that weren't fortunate enough to be given a seat a chance in the following application round?

bms1015 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 1 time here. And yes will still consider reapplicants on an equal basis as new applicants granted you weren't denied admission for a reason such as incomplete HCE hours or missing prerequisites/not qualifying for prerequisites, etc.. Additionally, from what I understand, admission is not completely a "lottery" style acceptance. The admissions committee narrows down applicants based on qualifying vs non-qualifying students then places the remaining students in tiers & selects from these based on whatever criteria they use. Goodluck to all the 2013 applicants. Hope to see some of you next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike mike Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Make sure you place your application in a sturdy envelope. The postal service damaged mine during delivery last year and I was denied consideration becasue I was missing documents - the LOR that fell out and was mailed back to me.
