Broward August 2015

Published

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this site, but I've seen other threads for other semesters for Broward College. I didn't find one for August 2015. I figured this would be a good place to share each other's excitement to (HOPEFULLY!) start the program in August. Let's all support each other on this journey! :)

Hi everyone! Just a little heads up! MAKE SURE YOU REPLY BACK TO THE EMAIL CONFIRMING THAT YOU WILL ATTEND! Otherwise, they will think you are not attending the information session and they will give your seat to an alternate. REPLY, REPLY, REPLY!

There were 400 applicants competing for 300 seats in the August 2015 Registered Nursing (AS) class. Three hundred (300) applicants were selected who earned between 4 and 16 total points and had pre-requisite GPA's between 2.8 and 4.0. Alternates are selected to fill any seats that become available. Alternates earned between 2 and 3 total points, and had pre-requisite GPA's between 2.6 and 2.79. In this class, there are ****30 alternates. This number accounts for 10% of the seats being offered.

I say these are pretty good odds. Congrats everyone!

I wonder why we have different times...

It says a date. I meant it didn't give options for a campus. It only said Central. July 10 @ 9am.

Yes, the campus location for the information session does not mean that this will be your campus for the program. It's just where they are hosting it. At orientation, you will be able to sign the contract and choose a campus. :)

I think that's just for crowd control. They probably can't host 300 applicants all at once.

Hmmm. I know my application was submitted late, and it still says Application In Review.. I wonder if it's basically prolonging a "Denied" or if they are being revised and updated in batches.

When did you turn your application in?

I know. I figured everyone had to go to Central for that. :) I'm guessing having an earlier orientation is good, since it means I'm likely to get my first choice for campus...

I mean like, how do they decide who get what time? Maybe the higher points get the earlier time, so they get first dibs on choosing a campus? Idk... I just want to do orientation with my friend lol.
