For those who have applied for the Fall 2007 semester - has anybody gotten a date for an interview yet?

Thanks

I am taking Microbiology right now in 5 weeks at Nassau Community College. I LOVE IT. I am totally rocking the class with great grades. The professor is awesome. He as well teaches at Queensborough College. Honestly, if anyone can wait to take it until next summer I would take it at NCC.

I am telling you the teacher understands its a 5 week class and makes it really simple for you. he makes a 4 hrs class 4 nights a week a blast!!!

I thought that Ms. Pass-Stern said at my interview that once we were attending BI we had to take all other science classes there.

I will definitely take it at NCC if I can next summer but it is so hard to get into that class.

In my interview, I told her I just took AP2 in the spring and was starting Micro that monday for the summer. She was like just send us a new transcript and we will update. I would email and see if you could take it over the summer next year. If so seriously do it!!! I can give you my notes to help.

Its well worth it to take at NCC over the summer. I was deathly afraid of Micro and its not anything to be afraid of bc its shortened class that doesnt have time to cover it all. The teacher gives a test every week and a lab quiz every week. the lab quiz are short answer. the lecture tests are 50 multi choice and then there are two lab tests. one is the midterm and the other is the lab final. you need to perform what you do in lab on your own without your lab table helping, then you put it under a scope and need to tell him what he is asking for. then the lab final will be what we did in class the rest of the semester.

You're right about that one Tracy, Ms Stern did say that too me as well at my interview, she and the first year advisor said the same thing at the open house and its also quoted on the website, once you begin the program you have too take all your classes with BI, UNLESS you fail the class and have to repeat it only then will they will allow you too take it outside. If you are taking classes now they'll accept them.

She did not say that to me. hmmmm I am awaiting an email from her.

A friend of mine who just finished her first year at pbison said that they used to let you take some classes at other schools (that is why she was in A&P II at BMCC) but that last semester they really cracked down.

She said that Dr. E. the science teacher is really hard and thorough (again, why she was taking A&P II at BMCC ;)). I am getting excited about taking pharm and nutrition with her, at least her students are super well prepared.

So I found out that you can not CLEP, Devlpmental Psych. But Intro to psych, sociology and English you can.

Once in the program you can not take any of the co req science classes outside of PBISON. But before hand you can. And once in with the approval of the school and proper add/drop forms being filled out, you can take the Lib. arts classes eslewhere.

woopie!! I just got the letter hows about you guys!!

No letter yet, but my mail takes forever!! hope its today.

No letter yet for me either. I will wait until Thursday and then I may call the school to let them know that the letter has not been received yet but I am very interested in attending. I hope it comes tomorrow since I want to get in the scholarship applications since every bit will help.

Good luck!
