Open enrollment, however even if you are dead-set onFeb 23 2016Social Work
Open enrollment, however even if you are dead-set on attending OCC, still do your very best on the ACT/SAT and AP exams (if applicable). You can get out of some entry level classes that still cost money with good test scores.
ACT: 28 Male
I applied to this school but was told inAug 18 2013Nursing
I applied to this school but was told in a short curt email that I wouldn't be eligible for financial aid. When OCC can afford to be picky, then you know something's wrong!
ACT: 21 Female

APPLY IN JANUARY TO EVERYWHERE ELSE FIRST!!
I graduated with a 3.9 &only attend OCC because I thought I had to have a lot of extracurriculars &had no idea when the deadlines were to apply to colleges & universities. Also, I didn't know how to apply to a university.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW & WHEN TO APPLY, FIND A UNIVERSITY'S PHONE NUMBER,
CALL THEM & ASK THEM!!
They WILL help you!!

I would recommend that you focus on your ACTNov 20 2012Unknown
I would recommend that you focus on your ACT or take it 2 times, i got a high score in my math and was able to pass over 3 classes, it will definitely help your financially.

Other then taking the ACT there is no "requirements" to get into this school; and your don't have to even take that.
I have had 3 classes with students that are older then my moms, this is a community college, if your don't mind have a good mix of students then your in the right place.
