You are the second person whom I have heard talk about record enrollment and higher gpa. We know that this Fall, the floor/base gpa was around 3.4. Based on what you are saying, the gpa would be around 3.5 and that is scary, especially for a community college. GPAs below 3.5 are still good but may not be good enought. I just looked at the schedule for Brandon and Ybor City's microbiology and ap 1 and 2, they appear to be around 90 full with most closed out.
I heard that South shore would be taking 26 students this year and if PC and DB usually take 60 that would mean a total of 150. Now, if what you heard in orientation pans out, that would mean around 700 people applied. I don't like those odds. It is making it almost impossible to get into nursing with public colleges being so competitive and so few slots and even with private schools causing an arm and a leg.
