I was on the impression that all orientations are for this week, end of July don't you have to pick your classes to make arrangements before? Any way I wish the best for you and Congratulations on your acceptance.

Orientation for accelerated and part-time was together. We were mixed, it was Tues. To answer the question on how to increase your GPA, the fastest most effective way is to retake the classes that you got below an "A" in trust me I know from experience. Also you can take extra classes, but that is the least effective way, even if you make straight A's, it happens very slow when you mix "A's" with an existing "C". For those who didn't take the tests yet, well all I'm going to say is thank God the scores don't count! Best of Luck

Yes, there is an appeal form that you get from registrars and you have to take it up to the nursing dept. secretary for them to approve it, they are helpful with that b/c they know you probably won't get in if your GPA is off by a point but wait, you have a B in your anatomy? Do you have any C's that need to be retaken? Trust me you can take extra classes but you have to take alot to see a real big difference.

You can take alot of classes to bring it up to maybe a 3.7/3.8 if you have financial aid, but my advice would be to retake the same classes that are bringing your GPA down, then you won't have to worry about waiting to see what the lowest GPA is that they accepted, you will have a 4.0 and it won't matter, b/c when you retake a class they don't combine the old and the new, they only take the new, which is exceptional! I'm leaving now so we'll talk later!

aca09 ,

FYI, you are incorrect about the gpa calculation for the Spring semester. If you want to apply in Sept, the new gpa will include everything currently on your MDC transcript AND any classes you have taken this summer. I was told this by an advisor on multiple occassions.

Good luck to all those making alterantive plans. Never give up.
