FCCJ SPRING 2010

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I know it is a little early, but anyone plan on applying for FCCJ's spring 2010 program?? If I can get my Nat points up and if I do well in Micro this summer , I will be ready to apply!!!:yeah:Finally!!

Well there are job fields that are dominated by other races and by males but there are no special programs for those. And if there is, there shouldn't be. If I get "high points" and don't get accepted, there is no diversity program to help me out. Its the regular way or no way for me, and thats how it should be for everyone. It doesn't matter if your points are comparability high or not. If they are not high enough for the cutoff, then they are not high enough for nursing school

AT ALL BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IF YOU ARE NOT BLACK YOU ARE CONSIDERED A MINORITY AND THEY HAVE SEVERAL SCHOLARSHIPS THAT PAY FOR THERE TUITION THE ENTIRE TIME THEY ARE THERE! I have several friends who are white and they attend FAMU and BCU and they get special consideration since they are a minority in the college

We aren't talking about scholarships though, we are talking about admittance to a highly competitive program. Scholarships have every right to be selective as to who gets them, but an entire program?

My point was that anyone getting special treatment for anything, school, scholarships, whatever, because of their race or gender, whether they are black, white, purple, or have 3 heads, is wrong....just my opinion

Oh well can't change it and I have better things to do like preparing for my tests and taking care of my family, and the pharmacy program is competitve at FAMU and they have a something similar to fscj diversity program except reversed females and minority( other than black) males! I got in the program so I am happy end of story!

I think we can all failry say that regaurdless of how good the program is , if it were us that wasn't admitted bc someone else was for such a program (pretend it's something different all together) I think it would be fair to say we would feel a little jipped. Sometimes it is hard to see it from all points of view. If it truly does good, I'm all for it. It's people that sbuse the systerm that irritate me. And all different types do that.

I agree with you 100%! One thing I hate is people who abuse the system! I worked hard ever since I was 14 years old, I refuse to abuse the system! Unfortunately my whole dept got laid off and its hard to get a job right now so I am pretty much living off of my financial aid, but I know many who lie to get free stuff not fair and they should be prosecuted!

I never disagreed with you, I was just looking at it in a different view that's all! Hopefully you get in when and wherever you apply! :)

I know you didnt disagree, but you kept saying that people in the diversity program had high points too, and some got in the regular way...and the point I was trying to stress was that if a white female had objectively high points, there are no programs to help her out, and that it is a limited access program for a reason, and there is a cutoff for a reason...anyone below the cutoff is.....well, cutoff! And that there should be no other way beside the regular way. That was the ENTIRE point I wqas trying to make throughout all this.

Anyway, you right, there is nothing i can do about it, I'm writing a letter but I doubt it will do any good, if it's meant to be for me to get in then I will. I have more important things to use my time thinking about that this...like getting ready for Christmas for one

Merry Christmas guys! Don't get too angry, but always have an opinion. I think we are all intelligent, hard working , and caring individuals . Or we wouldn't be here. So just remember that ! Remember how lucky we are to have the opportunity all all.
