I was just reading that soon the new deadline is coming up and everyone will be getting their letters! I thought the worst part was the wait to get into the program, but then comes the wait to get the test grades, and the wait to see if you passed, and the wait to take the exams, and the waiting is going to last a long time.....and it is so stressful. The whole program is so stressful, but I know it is well worth it. I just can not wait for Dec.....I am looking forward to passing everything on my first try and graduating this year.

Hi,

I wanted to find out from a current student...when and how long are you usually off in the summer if starting the fall before.

Thanks!!!

I currently have a 2.75 GPA and should have a 3.23 by the end of the summer semester. I want to apply for the jan/2010 generic nursing program at MDC, but am worried my 3.23 won't cut it. Will my fall classes count towards their consideration or will the grades not be in on time? If someone could please let me know I would really appreciate it. I called the medical campus and asked what the average GPA they accepted into the program was and they told me that the last semester the lowest GPA they accepted was a 3.5. So I am really scared!!!! Anyone have any insight? :cry:

Well Lilliette, if you're going to apply for Jan-2010 just know that your fall classes won't factor in because the deadline for the Jan program is Sept 1st. One of the advisors told me that you need to have at least a 3.5 to get in.

Shen06,

I wonder if anyone with a 3.5 has applied and ever been rejected? I can believe alot of ppl have atleast a 3.5 ....hmmmmm makes me wonder. I have a 3.53 and applied to the PART TIME PROGRAM and I am thinking about bitting my nails in order to alleviated the pressure LOL When are they going to start sending out notices is my question?

I guess I'll apply and pray but won't get my hopes up ...guess I'm looking at the Fall '10 program, by then it will be much higher. Are there any other accredited RN programs in Miami, FL??

Hi everyone =) I'm new to the site an I have applied for the fall 2009 (Generic) nursing program in MDC. I can honestly say that this waiting process in a complete drag.. has anyone recevied an acceptance letter yet?? does anyone know if they are giving the NET exam upon acceptance??

Vrivera024,

Welcome hmmmm NET exam I didn't hear of such thing at MDC. I called today and the lady told me we should get letters by the end of May. I am wondering one thing. If you get an envelope does that mean it's a rejection letter. If you get a PACKET (big yellow envelope) it means you accepted? I've been reading posts from like 3 to 4 yrs ago trying to figure out this process that I am totally confused about ?

Hi everyone, good luck in getting into the program!!! :) Today was my first day in mdc. I want to get into the Generic RN track, maybe full time. Did anyone take MAC 1105 or microbiology as a prereq? Do you have to or would you suggest it?

Shen06 · May 12, 2009

30NCN,

Hmmm...I read a couple of posts that mentioned the big yellow envelopes. You might be right. I applied last fall with a 3.3 and got the small white envelope (rejection). Now that my GPA is higher I'll be looking out for the big yellow one .

marggiecalderon,

You do have to take microbiology and MAC1105 as a prereq, especially for the generic program. What other courses are you taking?
