Alright, I'll start! MDC Fall 2013

Published

Why hello there, fellow students!

You can call me Cedeno, and I'll be applying for the MDC nursing program for fall 2013! I've been excited for awhile now, especially since MDC (and all its red tape) has delayed my intended apply date twice (originally Fall 2012, then Spring 2013). Ah, but no worries!

Right now I'm taking my last bit of classes before applying: A&P 2 w/lab, Micro, and Critical Thinking/Ethics. I've seen many nursing students this semester-- which is wonderful-- but at the same time I think two words when I meet another pre-nursing student: "Awesome! :x3: " and "Competition! :wideyed: " (Not seriously, but in a jokey kind of way.)

Once admitted, I'd love to form a study group. Size isn't quite so much the priority as cohesiveness is (though size counts!). I'd love study mates who like to utilize chats like Google talk, Skype, Kik, etc. for times when perhaps we'd like to study something but cannot make it to a physical location.

I'm a visual and auditory learner, so I love highlighters, dry-erase boards, and discussing questions together to ensure everyone understands rather than one person offering up the answer and others just accepting it without knowing.

Ah! I've managed to turn this into an ad for study mates! :o I'm just excited and hope there are other potential classmates here on AN. Please pop in and say hello! Let's talk GPAs, TEAS scores, whatever!

....Also if you take the TEAS twice is it highest score used or last test taken?

GOOD LUCK! :cat:

Stats:

Expected final science GPA: 3.67

TEAS score: n/a

Thanks everyone for all the info shared... I'm hoping to get accepted at Homestead campus since I live near the Zoo Miami area. I did my CPR already and I'm going to see if I can go ahead I get my PCP to complete my Student Health Record and whatever else he can do... such as Urine Drug Screen/Vaccines/Titers, etc. I was also thinking we should soon create a FB page... What do you all think? Patiently awaiting and hoping we all get accepted.

Maybe we should wait because wouldn't FT, PT, and AO each have their own FB page

Does anyone knows where it is less expensive to do the health record because I was checking and at miami dade clinic it is a total of $225

Dayli, thanks or the update on the link! I've been checking it often and it hadn't changed, so this is gre

Marilyn, I also live in west Kendall area but I'm not south of coral way...so I may be sent to the medical campus. But honestly, either one is ok wig me really...

Your welcome Tati I have been checking last year posts and they updated the dates on June 9 and and the orientation was for July 19 and they start sending emails on June 13 so I think we are pretty close

Thanks Carissa!

@tati, I definitely do live South of Coral Way so looks like I'll be going to Homestead. To be completely honest, hadn't even noticed that Homestead was an option when I turned in my application XD But I'm with you, I'll be happy to be at either :)

Hello! I applied to the generic FT program, homestead campus. My GPA is a 3.5 and TEAS score is an 88.7, so my combined score is an 88. I live in Key Largo, are there any other people from the upper Keys who applied?

Looking forward to receiving the acceptance letter!!! Does anyone know if you receive the email through your MDC email account ( which I'm not even sure how to check) or your regular email ( I have been getting some MDC emails on my gmail account)??? I look forward to meeting some of you at orientation!

Hi Alecia! I will hopefully be accepted into the same program as you, but I live in Cutler Bay (around SW 200 st). We have similar combined scores (mine is 88.2). You will receive the acceptance letter to your MDC email. It sounds like you are getting your MDC email forwarded to your personal email. I was advised to check my MDC email even if the emails are forwarded just in case. To check MDC email: Go to mdc.edu, click on "current students" along the side panel, and then click on "Student email" along the side panel. your username will be firstname.lastname001 (or 002...depending on how many people have your name!)

Good luck!

Dayli, I was thinking about the dates as well. Last year the orientation was the 19 and this year it's 10 days sooner. Maybe we will be getting our letters 10 days sooner ??? Lol wishful thinking......fingers crossed! But I feel we are close!

Carissa, thanks so much for the information!
