OCC New Admission Criteria

U.S.A. Michigan

Published

Only five prereq classes now and the new test is math proficiency and reading comprehension with a 75% in only two attempts. There is also a fee for the test.

What do you think? Will there be any other additions? The repeated courses will lower the total score and transfer scores will lower total score.

I also took both english classes with Schoolcraft College and Microbiology, so I don't think I have a chance. What program would you recommend around Livonia/Novi/Walled Lake area? Schoolcraft has a 4 year wait list. I'm kind of frustrated. I've been looking at programs since I was 18 years old, not really serious about them now but now I'm ready to do something. I'm 23 and getting old now, lol. I'd like to get a career by 30.

I'm not sure what the test will be like.....As for the points...I was going to try and apply at Baker and they do the point system also....Diff. criteria meant diff. points...Like a retake took 1 pt off the score..but a transfer took 2 points away per class transferred..they also had a limit on the number of transfer that were able to come in. Since they are implementing this in the following year and NOT next, and you have all the classes required, I suggest that you take summer classes for anatomy 1 and take anatomy 2 in the fall and then you can still apply by December and not go by the new criteria. Summer classes start soon so I would get on it. Good Luck

Oh and the Micro class does expire but its a 5 year time limit so your good. I would also suggest that you head to the highland lakes campus and talk to a counselor there about the program, and not anyone at the other campus because so much false information has been given out in the past.

I do not have an A in government or sociology, so I doubt I would get in. I took government when I first went to college. I wasnt that serious.My sociology grade was a B.

Well if those are the only two classes that you don't have an A in then you could always take them both in the fall or summer and still apply in time.

I need Anatomy and physiology too plus the admissions test, that would be four classes.

WEll it is managable...but thats all up to you...I took Anatomy 1, anatomy 2, chemistry AND gov't the semester I was applying and got all A's except in chem I got a B but that doesnt count towards GPA anyway. I guess its all up to the person and the motivation that they have to work towards their goal. Whatever your decision good luck!

You are allowed to take Anatomy 1 and Anatomy 2 at the SAME time?!

you ARE allowed to do it if you go directly to the staff and have them sign a course override form and then turn it into the office....it is not recommended but I managed an A in both of them....but I HAD to take them both in order to apply to the program by December...without an A it wasn't possible in my eyes to make it...so I managed and came out with an A

Wow! Mskarb, my hat is off to you. I only know of one other person who took I & II together and pulled off A's. Congrats!

That is impressive, I probably would not do that.
