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

Published

I am currently at Miami Dade College fulfilling prerequisites in order to apply for the Nursing program that starts fall 2009. I'd like to be in touch with other career changers who after getting a bachelor's in a non-nursing field decided to pursue the program at Miami Dade College.

Thanks for your interest!

I went last week to the medical campus and the advisor told me that 1297 people apply for the fall semester 2009, that on fall 2008 the gpa cut was 3.6 and for spring fall 2009 the gpa cut was 3.4, he also told me at that time, that they will be entering the information in the computer at the end of this week. and the computer will select students by gpa. It is incledible they make you wait almost 1 month after the registration is close, is not nice because your life is in standby until you get either the denial letter or the acceptence one. I apply for the last semester and I gor rejected I had a 3.35 gpa, at this moment I have a 3.51 I hope is good for this semester gpa cut. I wish all off you good look and lets keep on hopping for a good answer. By the way if you get an invite to the information session let me know so I can have a idea more or less on how the process is going.

Hey olofin1,

You and I are in the same boat. I'm sure you'll get in. You said the cut off was 3.6 last fall? Was this for accelerated or generic?

Hi Shen06!

Thanks. I am currently taking Enc1101, PPE, and SPC1026. I took my CPT about 3 weeks before class, so most of the other classes were taken or were in campuses too far for me.

For next term I wanted to take a science course and PHI since that is a prereq also. Since you said those two ARE prereqs, do you think I should take MAC 1105? :o

Thanks for your input!!!! :)

Oops that was supposed to be a smiley.

Olofin1, I think you will get in. 3.5 is not a small gpa... that is really intimidating. :dzed:

I hope my GPA will be as high. I want to aim for a 4.0 but it is easier said than done, huh? :\

I am having a nervous brake down this wait is killing me I look at the mdc e-mail almos 10 times a day they are so many comments that I really dont know if a 3.5 gpa is good for the program. the funny thing about it is that I have been a cardiovascular tech for 16 years and I have work for a hospital for 12 years and because I am not national ertified I can apply for the transitional program, I took recommendation letters from the hospital CNO my supervisor and they told me that they can put the information on my file but this will not make any difference that admittion to the program is on ly base on gpa and computer selection.

Olofin1,

If you dont mind me asking what is your GPA now......I transferred in with a 3.12 and had to work my behind off this past semester to get all A's (chemistry and microbiology) and now I am at a 3.53 so I hope I see the yellow envelope also

my GPA at this moment is 3.51 hoping for a cut off GPA lower than that so I can get in this semester.
