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! " and "Competition! " (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! 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?
Congratulations to everyone who got in and keeping the faith for all of those who haven't heard yet. I applied for FT & PT generic and was accepted to the FT, but not the PT. However, like many have already said, there will be many openings because people who have been accepted to two programs will have to make a choice.
FYI my overall score was an 82. My TEAS was 76 and my GPA 3.7
Accepted in FT generic at medical as well as Accelerated. Competitive score of 82. Unsure which I will be accepting as I work PT 2 days a week.. My declining a spot should open one for someone else. GL to anyone still waiting.
Also, any input on the generic vs accelerated with regards to difficulty difference would be much appreciated.. It seems like its really just a difference of one extra term.
I'm in :) I'm so happy. Guys check ur mdc email. I forwarded my emails and I thought I didn't get anything because it wasn't being forwarded. Good luck to everyone...
So after looking at my scores and GPA I believe my overall score is 73. Still waiting on an email. Trying to be hopeful!
GPA 3.0
Teas 72%
Overall 73
If I don't get an email ill be taking the teas test again. Anyone who wants to study and try to retake it Im more than willing to meet up. Good luck to everyone who got in already and to those of us waiting stay positive. I know it's hard!!

Congrats! Good thing you checked! Mine was forwarded to my email though. So much to do now!
