Anyone else out there applying to Broward Community College for the Jan 2009 start date?!!! :clown:I'm so nervous and the application period hasn't even opened yet!
For those of you who were admitted on the point system, what kind of gpa did you have? Were any of you able to use your HOSA waiver? I know that they have eliminated the waiting list. I am going to meet with an advisor next Friday to look at my transfer credits. I hope I get in!
Wow, Newgoal, thank you SOOOOO much. That info is great, and will save me money. Thanks so much for looking into that and getting the info from your sister.
Good luck to your sister. Hope she hears something soon!
Guys check your email. Notification has been sent out to those who applied for BCC Jan program. I know a few folks who have received their emails this morning. Good luck.
If you got in or not, can you post your GPA please?
THanks for the advice about speaking to some of the current students who are in the program at the central campus. All of these little tips will come in handy and hopefully make things just a little easier when the time comes. Sounds like the program is hard enough--having a decent clinical instructor or lecture professor could make a difference.
OMG!!! I am so glad I entered bcc when I did, because I would be stressed too--- and I know I would of given up, after being rejected so many times--then to be rejected from bcc would of been a major dissapointment, I would of had to change my major & I can honestly tell everyone here that I cannot see myself doing anything else for a living but nursing!! but I definitely not saw myself working as a nursing assistant forever.
My thoughts exactly. I'm happy I applied and entered last Jan. I would have probably been rejected as well. My program GPA was only a 3.2. I took A&P and the labs dual enrolled in high school. I got a C in A&P I and the lab and B's in A&P II and the lab. Neither my bachelor's GPA nor my A's in my master's coursework could have helped me. But I'm in the program and doing well, all A's and B's thus far. I have classmates who entered the program with a 4.0 program GPA and are barely passing. I'm so grateful that I applied last year. If not, I wouldn't have made it.
Right now it says my "program GPA" is 3.66, but I took a pysch class to fulfill my Behavioral Science general education requirement, so I think my GPA right now is just 3.5 for just the pre-reqs- A in English, B in Chem. I'm taking A&P 1 right now but I'm getting a B in lecture and an A in lab so far. I'm hoping to really do well on the next 2 tests in lecture to get an A.
So how exactly do you figure out your GPA for classes like the labs that are only 1 credit hour versus the lecture thats 3 hrs if I were to get a B in lecture and an A in lab- anyone know?
Man, I hope there are a lot of low GPA's applying when I'll be applying a year from now!

Here's an example with the following grades: A&P I and lab C's, A&P II and lab B's, Chem A, ENC A
I too just received my acceptance letter. I am very excited:D and can't wait to start!! See in January!
