FCCJ Summer 2010 hopefuls...

I think there are always only 24 slots available for evenings & weekends. I went to an introduction thingy today with a Q&A session run by Ms. James and she said the number for evenings & weekends doesn't change. She also said that evenings & weekends are handed out based on point totals and that it's not offered during Spring semesters, if that information is helpful to anyone.

FLmom, where did you hear that cutoff number for E&W? 195 seems a lot lower than I expected. With over 600 applicants and the initial cutoff running just under 191 points for acceptance to the program, I would have thought the 24 highest point totals would have been a lot higher than 195.

I'm not doubting your information. I'm actually delighted by it. I'm just curious about how you found that number because I've been trying to find it for a while now with no luck at all.

Thanks.

I just finished 1st term summer N/W. I got the information from my classmates. We didn't have 600 apps for summer.

Ah. That explains it. Thanks again for replying. For some reason I had it in my head that even though you were already in the program, you'd also just been accepted for this Fall. I guess I should have thought that one through a bit more.

the reason you are getting too many points for the NAT score is because either you are adding in spelling and vocational or you are doing acidemic apptitude 2 times. It gives you 3 scores in each area, math, verbal, and non verbal then it combines ALL THREE into one score. If you are doing all three plus the total, you will exceed 120. Hope this helps but yeah, then multiply by .64 and that is the amount of points you get!

Thanks for the feedback. As it turns out, using the FSCJ formula, 120 is not the maximum score on the NAT.

The raw score is simply the number of questions you got right. As such, since there are 90 questions on Academic Aptitude, 40 questions on Reading Comprehension and 90 questions on Natural Sciences, the maximum raw scores for AA, RC and NS respectively are 90, 40 and 90. That gives a maximum raw score of 220 points. If you multiply that by .64 to get your FSCJ point total, you get 140.8, which would be the "points" from a perfect NAT raw score.

I will be applying to the summer 2010 semester. I am so excited and nervous. Coming online and reading the post make me become so anxious sometimes. I hope that I will be accepted on my first try I only have 3 more classes to take. Has anyone ever seen a rejection letter. What does it state? (what your rank was, how many people applied) Can you roll your application over to the next semester if you don't become chosen?

wow nice job on the NAT. You crushed it, you will be there for summer for sure!


If you get 190 points u should get in. If anything less than you wont know for sure until then. Yes you can apply each semester if you get declined.

Fall had over 600 applicants, of that 168 got seats, 24 of those being N/W. The cutoff was 190.72
For those of you with questions about how to calculate point totals if you get an application packet, the cover sheet goes over in detail about how to do it. You can also do a thread search for this information. You can get a max of 120 on the NAT and 120 from your prereqs, then you can get extra points for having medical experience.
Also, the cutoff points represent the lowest amount of point that were admitted into the program. So if they get a lot of applicants with over 200 points the cutoff will go higher.
Hope this helps some.
