So, just got my pre admission status? I thought I had been declined so I never went on my BC email and for some reason I checked and it says pre admission!!!

Congrats to you! Can't wait for orientation next week!

You're in. At the orientation meeting they will tell you everything about choosing your classes. The only choice you have is south or central, you don't choose your teachers, you have to only choose 1 of the campuses and once you choice you have to stick with that campus until you graduate unless you have serious extenuating circumstances. If you have not done micro they will ask you to defer until you do it.

Thank you, I have a few questions about everything.. I'm kinda nervous lol how do we pick where we take classes at, and when it says pre admission that means for sure I'm in.. Right? They sent me an email and everything

Yes, that means you were accepted. You will be able to register for classes once you attend orientation which should be on March 29th. I didn't stay for the whole orientation since they gave us the option to sign our contracts and leave if we knew for sure that we were deferring due to North campus not being available for this May term. However, I was told when its time to register you pick the classes for the campus you want to attend and register online (same as if you were registering for regular classes). They do not pick the campus for you and once you start at that campus you have to stay at that campus. You are not allowed to transfer at any time during the program. Your choices are Central or South campus for this May term, pending there are seats still available for both campuses. No worries though...you are in!

If you defer a seat does that mean you for sure get in august ? I haven't taken micro but maybe I can squeeze it in somewhere. I'd rather not defer.

I honestly don't know how it will work now with having so many people already deferring for August. When I signed my contract I was told my seat was guaranteed and I would not have to do anything further except wait for them to email me for the August orientation. Just make sure you ask all of these questions when you go to your orientation. I'm sure most of the details will be addressed and you could clarify anything you are unsure about.

I'm taking mine with cprflorida.net. It's $65 and I'm taking it on march 27th at 10:15am in fort Lauderdale. It's a 3 hour course. You get your certification the same day too.

As far as the shots we have to get, I've noticed I've had all of them except the tb test. I've hadthe hepatitis b one before high school, how often do you need them?

If you already had the shots then you will need to get titers done, they need verify that you are in fact immune.

Make sure it's BLS for health providers and approved by the American heart association, thats the one they want.
