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

Well, I don't know how any people have 3.5's. The website is misleading. It says you can apply with a 2.0, but it doesn't say that students who are selected have above a 3.5. So there are probably a lot of students who applied not knowing the ropes around MDC's nursing school. It happened to me...I applied with a 3.1 last fall year thinking that it was good enough, but it wasn't. The advisors told me that the GPA needs to be 3.5 or above. So I worked on it. I had to get straight A's this past spring.

Shen06,

I had to work very hard for straight A's also this past spring. Thats the only way i have over a 3.5 so we are still in limbo......But u do make a good point on the site it states all you need is a 2.0 to apply which is misleading so I see your point.......I had no idea about this GPA thing till late last yr

I just sent an email to one of the advisors at the school asking if there will be an information session soon. Hopefully they'll answer. That way we will know when letters will go out.

BY THIS TIME LAST YEAR MOST OF THE STUDENT WHO GOT ACCEPTED HAD THE LETTER OR THE INFORMATION SESSION INVITE I DONT KNOW WHY THIS YEAR THE PROCESS IS TAKING LONGER?:rckn:

Maybe we are just the ones NOT ACCEPTED ...........But i know someone who applied with a 3.9 so if she hasn't heard anything that means they have not made a decision......

I just spoke to someone...she said that there were no information sessions scheduled for this time. I asked if she would happen to know what the cut off GPA was and she said that they have not made selections. She told me to wait til the middle of June, letters should definitely go out by then.

Shen06,

My girlfriend has a 3.9 and there's no way she's not getting in. So she hasn't heard anything as of yet either...............I know she's getting in!!!

Hi everyone,

I've been reading these posts every now and then, as I also applied to miami dade's nursing program for fall 2009. I have a 4.0 gpa and have not received an acceptance letter or a rejection letter in the mail, but I did receive a flier to attend the open house may 30. I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but I will keep you posted if I hear anything. I called a few days ago and was told letters would be going out mid June, so we'll see. Good luck to everyone!
