Any Miami Dade College students going for the acceler. or Generic option fall 2009?

Your ahead of me. I have an exam on Microbiology coming up and have not started to grapple with the essay as of yet.

Oh I wish I was ahead, I'm actually starting to fall behind in Chemistry b/c I'm devoting all my time to this paperwork. Good luck with Micro...

Do they consider your gpa based on just the pre-reqs or is it based on all the classes you have ever taken at MDC????

From what I have heard it's based on ALL classes taken at MDC but I am not sure......................Did u apply yet ?

I have not applied yet but will be applying for the part time next fall. I have all of my pre-reqs and will be finishing Anatomy 2 and lab this semester and I am in good shape to get an A in both. I have about a 3.91 now without the 2 classes I am taking now (at Broward College) and even with the GPA I have if it would be enough since everyone seems to have perfect gpas now! Some classes were taken at other schools so I am wondering if they just take the GPA of classes at MDC.

Guess I have to call them...oh yeah...they NEVER answer the phone...HELP

Well the 3.91 sounds good and if it helps at all if you go to your DEGREE AUDIT at MDC you will see what your OVERALL gpa is.............I also applied to the part time program this past fall and was rejecter and i have a 3.53 so I am in bad shape from what I see. They only accept once a yr for the part time program but you seem to have a high enough GPA i dont see them denying you at all ............I am taking a class now and will take another next semester in order to boost my gpa to a 3.7 and if that doesn't work I will try somewhere else. I can't keep wasting money taking stupid classes in order to raise my gpa not to mention those classes are not transferrable to any other college. ughhhhhhhhhh But i wish you luck and welcome to the thread we laugh, cry and joke around TOGETHER here !!!!

Thanks so much! You are very encouraging. It is crazy that you have to aim for a perfect GPA or somewhere close to even be considered to the program!!! It is all such a game. I wish you the best and hopefully you can bring your GPA up and we can be in class together! I am really interested in the part time program because due to my life right now I need to work so the accelerated and generic options wont cut it.

Do you have any friends in the part time program? I wonder what it is like and what the typical courseload is. Better yet what kind of schedule do they have! So many questions and no answers. I wish those people at MDC would return phone calls/emails. Thank God for allnurses.com!!

Yes this is a very informative site. I learned alot from this site specially like you said no ONE knows nothing. It's like TOP SECRET stuff. But this is your support system. Some ppl who are in the nursing program come back and KEEP us informed and for them WE are grateful. I know this for the part time generic track. You go to class one day a week in the evening and then you are in school all day on saturday. I too work full time and run a household so this is the only way i will be able to go to school. Hope this helps. I only have friends in the full time no one in the pt

I only have friends in the generic program and even they dont know much about what to expect sometimes from MDC. Dont fret we will all make it somehow! Well we keep in touch and see what we can learn as time goes on. Now my next task is to figure out how exactly to apply and what I need to do to get ready for the application. Is it a separate application I can download or something else? Im sending my transcript when my classes are over this semester. I know there is some test I need to do .

I dk about a test hmmmmmm is that new ? April 30th is the deadline to apply. You make sure you get your transcript sent over to MDC so that they can evaluate it ASAP. (one mistake ppl make and then it's a problem) I am always on here so I will keep in touch. Once you are accepted to MDC you have to go to the Medical Ctr Campus. and get an application (very short application literally) and fill it out but FIRST FIRST FIRST go to the bursars office and pay the $25.00 dollars and then take the application to the admissions and advisement dept downtowns (medical ctr campus) with proof that you paid your application fee if not they wont accept it. HOPE this helps !!!!
