RMO1809, almost the same happened to me, I was #101, and they accepted 98, I was very surprised because I was a 3.79, so I continued with my application to FIU, I was easily accepted there.When I had already paid $200 to save my seat at FIU, I received my acceptance letter from MDC (on July 5th). Well, I lost at total like $300 applying to FIU, but I am still happy bacause MDC is the place where I want to study. I'm sure you were accepted,too. please let us know how finally You did it, and in which campus you will study? I will go to Homestead campus, probably you too, GOOD LUCK

Hey Charlyn I was accepted to the part time generic over at the medical center campus..... It's mu h closer to my house. Wow I can't beleive you ended up having to lose all that money it's incredible that they do not at least send a standby notice or something. Well I'm glad at least you were able to get into the school of your choice. I wish you the best of luck!!

Well those numbers were probably for the 1st round. I have a 3.79gpa,and in the first round for the Generic program I was not accepted because I was #101 in the ranking,and they accepted 98 students. However, in the 1st week of July, I received the acceptance letter, and I have a friend that was accepted with 3.78gpa.

About a year ago students with a 3.5 were accepted with no problem at all. I am so surprised with the whole budget cut and everything. I mean with the shortage of nurses now and everything this is just going to make things so much worse. I am also sad that so many students with wonderful GPAs will not be able to make it in because of the whole budget cut thing. Even if your GPA is not the best I do not think it really makes a difference anyway. Let me lnow how it goes for everyone!

I went to the bookstore at medical campus today, I know that the best brand for sthetoscopes is Litman, but there are 2 versions, the big (about $85) and the small one (about $45). if someone finds a cheaper price ,please let me know. Thank you

Ra-man13, just letting you know that you can find better pricing in amazon. I purchase everything there, they have a better pricing in stethescope, light pen, I even bought my shoes there (although it is a little big, but its fine) and white uniform. Also, I'm going to Homestead, I hope to see you there.
