Published

Did anyone already turn in there applications for Fall 2009 @ B.C.? because I am turning mine in next week before the deadline and now I have to wait AGAIN and keep continually looking at my e-mail and the myBC account for the Limited Access Program everyday hopefully I get in THIS TIME being my 3rd time :yeah:

re: any miami dade college students going for the acceler. or generic option fall 200two of my friends that have a ba told me that mdc only looked at there math and natural science and ap etc.. classes to calculate their gpa.. which was a 4.0 because of that...

but when i went there, i could have swore she told me all classes will be calculated..

i have a ba and an aa...

my friend says that if you dont have a degree, they will look at everything.. but if you have a degree only 15 classes. that i mention above..

one decided to go with the accelerated and the other generic.. both has ba in different fields

this si what i got from there site just now

accelerated option applicants must hold bachelors or higher degrees from an accredited, domestic institution and are exempt from the general education core courses, they must have 15 credits in any natural science/math courses, including complete course(s) in human anatomy and physiology. cpt reading scores of 78 or higher are required.

okay. i went to mdc and i clarfiied the questions that i had.. and i am back to where i belong bcc!!!! anyway... i was reading over the preq and requirement and i notice something

  • there is one (1) possible point that can be earned for broward county residents. residency for the purpose of earning this point will be based strictly on students' addresses and not college residency requirements for paying in-state fees. points will not be awarded if a post office box number is provided.
  • under the articulation agreement for health occupations students of america (hosa), the students will be awarded five (5) points for those students meeting the hosa requirements within a two year time frame from time application is submitted. the five points will be granted during the admission selection process. all admission requirements must be satisfied to receive the points.
  • highest total points will constitute an offer for admission based on seat availability.
  • in the event of a tie, students will be given one (1) point for the completion of each college-level, general education course that is required toward the associate in science degree for the nursing program. in the event that a tie remains, the point will be awarded to the student with the highest grades in the required courses.
    general education courses completed prior to admission may be used to assign points in the event there is a tie for a seat.
  • humanities course with writing credit (see catalog for listing)

  • social and behavioral science course (see catalog for listing)

  • mcb2013 & lab (microbiology and lab)

will i get a point for having already completing the the classes in red..

You only get points for your GPA in these classes: CHM1032, ENC1101, BSC1085, BSC1085L, BSC1086, and BSC1086L.

If there is a tie, THEN they will give the students who are tying 1 point for those classes to try to break the ties.

sunny is this playing it close

1 .enc 1101 c 2 long time ago

2. bsc 2085 a 4 summer a

3. bsc 2085l a 4 summer a

4. bsc 2086 b 3 summer b

5. bsc 2086l a 4 summer b

6. 17 + 4 (a)(chm) 21 credits / 6 classes = 3.5 = 11 points + 1 broward resi = 12 points

17 + 3 (b)(chm) 20 credits / 6 classes = 3.3 = 9 points + 1 broward resi = 10 points

Actually, it will work like this:

You take the letter grade and turn it into a number. A=4, B=3, etc. Multiply that by the number of credit hours the class is. Then you add them all up and divide by the total number of credit hours, which is 14.

1 .ENC1101 C=2 X 3 (credit hrs)= 6

2. BSC2085 A=4 x 3 (credit hrs)= 12

3. BSC2085L A = 4 X 1 (credit hr)= 4

4. BSC2086 B = 3 X 3 (credit hrs) = 9

5. BSC2086L A = 4 X 1 (credit hr) = 4

6. CHM1032 A = 4 X 3 (credit hrs) =12

Total of 6+12+4+9+4+12= 47

47/14= 3.35

They do NOT round up or down, so they look at it like a 3.3, which will give you 9 pts, plus 1 for Broward resident= 10pts.

If you get a B in Chem, you will have a 3.14, which is a 3.1, and that is 7 pts, plust 1 for Broward resident, which makes it 8 pts total.

Hey guys! Are they changing your clinical schedule around like they did mine? I registered 1st thing on July 16th and i followed the instructions to pick all my classes from the one page and they still changed my clinical!

Also, how do you find out which hospital each teacher goes for clinicals?

How can you tell they changed your clinical days? Are you going to South? South is the only campus I can see that goes either Tuesday OR Wednesday and not both days. Central and North go both days, and it really doesn't matter which one you register for, you will be assigned clinical groups once class starts.

As far as which hospital......we'll find that out in class, too.

They are not changing my clinical days. They are changing my clinical teacher. Is aggravating because the teacher I picked goes to a closer hospital for clinicals. The other teacher....im not sure where she goes but I think it is farther.

BTW...im going to central.

Dizzy-

I'm not sure whats going on there. At North campus, all the clinicals are listed as TBA, so we don't even know the names of the clinical instructors there.
