Alright, I'll start! MDC Fall 2013

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Why hello there, fellow students!

You can call me Cedeno, and I'll be applying for the MDC nursing program for fall 2013! I've been excited for awhile now, especially since MDC (and all its red tape) has delayed my intended apply date twice (originally Fall 2012, then Spring 2013). Ah, but no worries!

Right now I'm taking my last bit of classes before applying: A&P 2 w/lab, Micro, and Critical Thinking/Ethics. I've seen many nursing students this semester-- which is wonderful-- but at the same time I think two words when I meet another pre-nursing student: "Awesome! :x3: " and "Competition! :wideyed: " (Not seriously, but in a jokey kind of way.)

Once admitted, I'd love to form a study group. Size isn't quite so much the priority as cohesiveness is (though size counts!). I'd love study mates who like to utilize chats like Google talk, Skype, Kik, etc. for times when perhaps we'd like to study something but cannot make it to a physical location.

I'm a visual and auditory learner, so I love highlighters, dry-erase boards, and discussing questions together to ensure everyone understands rather than one person offering up the answer and others just accepting it without knowing.

Ah! I've managed to turn this into an ad for study mates! :o I'm just excited and hope there are other potential classmates here on AN. Please pop in and say hello! Let's talk GPAs, TEAS scores, whatever!

....Also if you take the TEAS twice is it highest score used or last test taken?

GOOD LUCK! :cat:

Stats:

Expected final science GPA: 3.67

TEAS score: n/a

Hi rndreamer, Did you take TEAS exam already? Are you applying for the 2013 Fall program also?

I took the teas a few months back and score really low, 60. I was thinking on taking it again for the fall 2013 but i when i did check the ati website to register it was book up until may 9. Nova was plan B, which i was accepted last year for winter 2013 but i deferred waiting to get into mdc. So i am attending Nova this fall. The advisor at mdc told me my score was too low to apply. So i just give up on mdc.

No if you scored a 60 apply if ur gpa is a 3.9 n up u might still get in

Heu jakagI, I applied for generic fulltime n part time. Youll get in for sure. Im the one who is border line. o_O we have 7 more weeks left to start getting emails .. :-C

No if you scored a 60 apply if ur gpa is a 3.9 n up u might still get in

My gpa is 3.7, the advisor pretty much discourge me from applying because she said , the average score was in the mid 80's

Hi fellow mdc nursing applicants. I took the teas twice, got a 70 the first time and 78.9 the second time. My GPA is 3.6. My ranking almost 84. The advisor told me i have a good chance teas scores have been low. Im applying for generic part time. Im pretty confident ill get in.

Hi everyone, Well tomorrow is the last to apply for the Fall/2013 program. Wishing everyone the best and hoping we all get accepted. I was told by an advisor that letters goes out after June 1st... Did anyone hear anything different?

Hi everyone!

It took me so long to find this thread that I just ended up starting my own! LOL....oh well.

Anyway, I am so excited and anxious to get our acceptance letters... My scores aren't too high from what i see on this thread, but im trying to stay positive. I just have to wait and see. My TEAS score was 83.3 and my GPA is 2.93, giving me a combined score of 79. I took the TEAS twice and got a lower score the second time around. I applied to the Accelerated option, Generic Full-Time and Part-Time. The more chances the better... Hope to meet you all soon during the Fall Semester!

Hello everyone,

I just found this thread as well...and anxiously awaiting our letters! I applied to both the generic and accelerated options. My combined score is 75. Although, it is not as high as some of you, I think we all have a fighting chance. Therefore, I am remaining optimistic that we will be receiving our letters in June. FYI I know a couple of students that are currently in the program that got in with lower scores than ours in Spring, so keep your heads held high!

Hey everyone! I did the exact same thing as Tati! It's great to find you guys. I'm super nervous and excited. I have it marked on my calendar when I'm going to "allow" myself to start checking my email. :cheeky: My TEAS was a 88 and my GPA is 3.52 and I have a combined score of 88. I applied to the Accelerated Option (AO) and Generic Full-Time. I'm hoping for AO! My gosh, I can't wait to meet you all!!!! I had some amazing friends in my prereqs but sadly no one is starting this Fall. :( Wah!!!

I plan on working on getting my Drug, TB, Titers, CPR, and background check done before the emails come. From what I understand from other posts the wellness center gets a little crazy when everyone starts doing their stuff all at once. (One guy had to wait 3 hours just to get his TB read!!! :eek:) Here's a link to all the requirements if you guys want to take a look. Just use it as a guideline because its subject to change. ---> Accelerated - Admission Information - Miami Dade College

Good luck you guys! Oh yeah, quick question anyone else calling MDC to make sure their application was sent without any problems???? My husband knowing my bad luck strongly suggested that I call them. Thoughts?

My advisor told me mid-June to July but I'm not really sure they know. I think it differs each semester. I marked my calendar for 6 weeks after application deadline.

I am interested to hear what others were told.

I have been going through almost all the threads lol it seems Fall 2012 applicants started getting their e-mails mid June so don't stress too hard come June 1st! ^.^
