MRB_2010 Apr 16, 2011 Derrick, I just received my acceptance letter from Spartanburg Community College. However, I'm from the Midlands and would love to attend FDTC. The application is due on 4/29/11, and I intend to apply. I have a few quick questions for your consideration?1) Did you complete all of the non-nursing courses (BIO-210, ENG-101, MAT-110,PSY-201, Fine Arts/Humanities Elective,BIO-211, Bio 225) before applying? 2) Are you from the preferred attendance area (Florence, Darlington, or Marion)?3) Can you recall what your prerequisite GPA was. If you're not comfortable providing that, would you mind providing an approximation? 0 Likes
akulahawkRN, ADN, RN, EMT-P Specializes in Emergency Department. Has 6 years experience. May 6, 2011 To the OP: Hope all is going well for you... It took me 7 Semesters of applying to finally get selected. Such is the fun part of lottery-based selection systems. A couple programs in the area, but are too far for me to travel to, use a simple wait-list process. It is what it is. At least I can finally get going! 0 Likes

I start my RN to BSN program in July, at Western Governor's University online (sooo affordable!)! Nursing school has been awesome thus far, difficult at times, but worth it! 0 Likes
