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 have called but nothing it's like they dont want to talk but am guessing if the GPA was that high it might have been High for accelerated as well....

yea i'm serious, NO WAY would I joke about this :( but like she said people might reject the offer you never know, esp because people sometimes apply for both gen and accer. so there might still be space, don't lose hoppppe :/

i'm even scared for me and i am barely half way with my pre-reqs... i am going to start looking at other schools too. guys don't worry, she told me that if my gpa ever went too low, to just take an extra class to boost my gpa, we could all do that. it might only get tougher bc people seem to be changing to nursing a whole lot... :/ im even thinking of taking a nutrition or bio class to help me... :( this is crazy

well she told me that the lowest was 3.8... and that usually it was 3.5, but this yr was CRAZY with 1200 applying just for generic. BUUUUT she said that maybe people will drop before they start so that might give space for other people. :s

Wow, thats is crazy. I was told the same except I was told of older standards of 3.5 and I heard also about the 100 openings also. It makes sense since all who have received good news have a 3.8 and above.

But most important like you said it only the "First batch" plus those that will reject will open up spaces and minimum gpa will have to drop.

Btw, what GPA are u at?

Also, an easy 3 credit class to get automatic A is any SLS class. Not a requirement but a gpa booster and super easy.

Okay guys...she's right. I went to the medical campus as well. I was told that the lowest GPA was 3.8 for accelerated and generic. 3.8!!! That is so crazy!! Plus when i got home i found my rejection letter in the mailbox. I have a 3.58...guess it wasn't good enough. I'll just send the roll-over form for next semester.

yea, exactly... I really hope there will be openings for others. I couldn't believe it was a 3.8. I am at a 3.7 and I haven't even taken my sciences. It's kind of scary.

I went to ask for my ranking....I was #225 for accelerated and they stopped at #99. For generic I was # 78 and they stopped at #44.
