I think that you should probably apply after you finish those classes, so apply in the summer to start in the fall. I think that you probably won't have enough points to be competitive if you don't finish those 3 classes first, but add it up and see.

It's really annoying, I know, but I've had to wait an extra semester for that exact reason.

You have to have A&P complete before you even apply. You can be enrolled in Micro when you apply, but you have to have it completed bfore you start the program. It sounds like you are going to have to wait until the Summer to apply for the Fall.

I had said that I needed to study for the NAT, but I haven't really had the time at all. I hope the poster who said you can't really "study" for it is right. I think I need to take the NAT by Oct 15, that way it will give me time (have to wait 90 days I believe) to retake if necessary. I am so nervous about it. When I was younger, I was so good at test taking, I would just breeze through it. Now I feel like my brain is mush LOL.

Right now I am also planning on applying at UNF, so I'll be taking the TEAS as well - that one I am definitely studying for as much as I can. I only get one shot at the TEAS for this application period.

So far my classes this semester are going well. I love Micro, I think I will be getting an A if I don't slack off. Psych and Socio, I should be getting A's, and I don't start my Humanities until end of October. That's the rest of my pre-req's!

Hey Sara,

By chance are you taking your Micro at the Kent Campus on Tues? I have a Sara in my class. Oh, and thanks for the info on the NAT date, I forgot the date to take it by just in case I don't get a good score. I'll have to do some quick studying since it's been a while for me that I've taken math.

RC, I am at Kent, but it's a Mon/Wed class. Taking Dr. D, I love her! Who do you have?

Did I figure that right as far as the dates/NAT? I think the Summer application deadline is Feb 1(?), so if we take it by Oct 15, we can re-take it by Jan 15, right?

SaraFL,

I am taking Dr. D on Mon/Wed as well. Are you afternoon or evening?

I will be applying for the Summer 2010 program as well and have already taken my NAT.

Here is how I figured out my score:

Academic Aptitude: 56
Reading Comprehension: 21
Information in the Natural Sciences: 73
Total NAT score: 150 x .64 = 96

I plan on having all 9 of my prerequisites completed before enrolling (finishing up my last 5 this term) but here is what I have for my scores so far:

A&PI: I got a 4.0 x 4 credit hours = 16 points
A&PII: 4.0 x 4 = 16
DEP: 4.0 x 3 = 12
ENC: 4.0 x 3 = 12
Total so far: 56

SO... 96+56= 152

I also got an A in my chemistry but I'm not seeing anywhere that they will add that into my points, just that I had to do it... does anyone know anything about this?

I am currently taking Micro, College Alg, Humanities, and my Psyc and Syg I broke up within the 16 weeks. I'm pretty confident I can get A's in those if I keep my nose to the grindstone however, seeing that they only accept 96 students for summer enrollment, I'm still going to take my NAT again because I really didn't know what I was doing the first time. I just wanted to get it under my belt.

Oh, and just to give my 2 cents to someone else's question about whether you need to have certain classes to enroll, I know you don't have to have some of them to enroll (like someone else already stated), just both your A&P's, college alg., and completion of a chemistry, BUT from what I hear from all the advisors is that your chances of getting in without them is slim because those are points you don't have...especially for the summer term.

Also, another quick question... they gave me 3 copies of my NAT scores. Am I to understand that as I cannot get another copy from the school?

I'm so excited to be able to chat with some of you regarding our "journey!"

Chemistry is just a prereq that you need to take Micro. It is not included in your point totals.

I sit at the front of the class in the middle. Are you in the same class?

I'm kinda chubby with dark hair and I sit beside Jon. He's on my left.

That would be so funny if you are in my class!
