Getting in to PCC wasn't a problem. I just filled out the application, sent in the necessary med forms, my SAT scores, and a couple of recommendation letters, and voila!
SAT: 1128 Female

“I simply filled out an application and was acceptedJul 18 2004Communications
I simply filled out an application and was accepted. I even submitted it late in the summer and was still accepted in time for the fall semester.

I do not recommend PCC. There are other Christian colleges (like Liberty, Tennessee Temple, Union University, and Cedarville, just to name a few) that may cost more, but you'll have a better quality eduction overall. If you're going to consider attending PCC, visit the campus before you register and don't be afraid to ask questions to students and faculty. If you sense any hesitation in their responses or that they either aren't being completely honest with you or they just aren't telling you the whole truth -- it should be an immediate warning flag to you that something isn't right.

Also, call the college admissions office and request a copy of the Student Handbook (the actual rules and policies students are required to follow and obey while they attend PCC), and not a copy of the college catalog either -- ask for it by name: "The PCC Student Handbook". When they tell you that's not possible, ask why. They won't send you one -- they don't want you to know in advance what the rules and regulations are because they know that if prospective students knew what they were getting themselves into, at least 7 out of 10 students would probably consider going somewhere else, and the remaining 3 will only go to PCC because tuition is cheap.

Remember that in life you get what you pay for. If you want a quality college education, perhaps you should seriously consider paying a bit more for it in order to be in an environment where you're treated like an adult. In the end, you'll be glad you did. But if you go to PCC, yes, you'll save money, but you must consider how 4 years of PCC's influence with them as the authority over you is going to affect every area of your life -- emotional, physical, mental, spiritual -- for the rest of your life.

You've read the comments here and see an overwhelming opinion that discourages other students from choosing PCC. Don't just dismiss it as disgruntled former students venting their frustrations. Notice that the majority of the complaints are legitimate concerns and that they are coherently and intelligently written. That many negative criticisms should tell you something. Invest in your future -- use your money more wisely and go to some other college.

“Getting accepted into this university is rather simpleJun 04 2004Religion/Religious
Getting accepted into this university is rather simple. First plan on graduating from highschool! De sure to take an ACT of SAT test before your come, or you will need to do it the first weekend you are there. Application process is simple, just follow the directions and send it all in. some personal advice to prospective students, send your application in early. i waited until 2 months before school started, though i still made it in, it is always better to have it in earlier. especially if you plan on working at the college, because you're most likely to get you job preference the earlier you apply. Also don't fret about your previous scores of test grades, I've known PCC students who in highschool had barely made the grade. Pcc is not a "cake" school, but they will help you the best that they can!
SAT: 1000 Female

“If you really want to get into PCC, there'sMay 10 2004Biology
If you really want to get into PCC, there's really nothing to it. PCC accepted my application for admission before recieving any proof of high school degree, SAT score, IQ, mental handicap,...anything. Give 'em a call @ 1-800-PCCINFO and ask for an application. Just don't tell them that you smoked cigaretts or talked back to your parents when you were little and you should have no problem.
SAT: 1200 Male
