I applied to the accelerated option and have 2 degrees. I don't know about the other tracks, but for my situation they counted:
-ALL classes I have taken at MDC...ever. (Including theater classes from 1996 )
-Any math, science, or nursing classes I took at other schools.

I have a B.A. from a previous school, and I'm currently in the generic option. They only counted my science prereqs at MDC and one math class from my previous Bachelors. No other classes from my previous degree were taken into account to calculate GPA. I simply received credit for having taken them.

I have an AA from Dade and a BA from FIU

MDC told me that they are going to look at my full GPA and classes on my transcript. because, i went to DADE so they are going to use all my classes.. they are not focusing on just my science and math.

She said if i never attended dade and i only took my science at dade, then they will look at only my science from dade because that will have been all the classes that i have taken there

Then they would pull the other classes like math Natural scienced thats needed..

So basically she said because i was astudent there.. full GPA will be looked at

someone who just started and cam in with everything wont have a GP with them, so they will go with what they have

Yeah, that's exactly what hurt me. Those theater classes from the 90's are my only B's at Miami Dade...and I got A's in all my math and science classes at FSU. If they had only looked at relevant coursework from Miami Dade, rather than total GPA, I would have been able to apply with a 4.0.

Too bad.

If you have your CPR just make sure that you do not have it expired before your program ends. Make sure that it is valid while you are taking classes! And congratulations! You know what they say...better late then never. On a lighter note you still have a whole month to finish up everything. You will be busy until you finish the program so enjoy every minute of your free time.
