Hi everyone I didn't see one made yet so I guess this will be the official thread for BC May 2015!

[future ARNP]

No problem, not sure if it will change? We'll see :) how many points did you get If you don't mind me asking?

I don't it's OK and it's very low I received only 8 points I'm so worried about it. ....

Im trying not to freak out. I was awarded all the points but just the thought of starting the program makes me nervous lol. i thought we were going to have to wait til march like last years group did. Thankfully we dont. :)

Oh Alrighty yeah I was awarded 10. Praying that's good enough with a 3.5 GPA. Ughhhhh the horror of possibly getting denied sucks. But I'm trying to remain positive so positivity comes back to me :)

Many people have said they have had friends with 2.9 and lower even that have gotten accepted. I know we'll get in LADIES !! :)

awesome! What is your GPA?! :)

[gigglygaby]

Overall GPA is 3.8 prerequisite's GPA is 4.0. Im sure all of us will get in. The best thing about broward is they accept a lot of people. And i know that with determination ANYONE can turn it around and do the best they can. Ive read many amazing stories about people not doing well with pre reqs but kicking butt in nursing school. I guess its because we are doing what we want to do not those annoying unnecessary prereqs lol

Alright so I'm having a moment of panic and can't seem to find the nursing admissions info and am blanking on it. What is, if there is one, the math requirement for the program? And if there is one, is it just prior to graduation or required for application/admission into the nursing programs? I don't have college algebra, but I have a course that would be 'higher' than that (applied business math, aka pre-calculus with business related word problems) but it didn't transfer over as a recognized course to BC. Is there a way I can challenge that by providing the school with the course description from where I earned my bachelors degree to show them that it aligns with their pre-calc class?

I would go see an advisor they can usually help with any issues you may have regarding the pre reqs. One of my credits wasn't reflecting as accepted but when I went to see science advisor she ran it through no problem. Hope it works out. Take care of it asap if possible

[gigglygaby]

I didn't take college algebra either but I got credit for taking MGF1106 (liberal arts math I) MGF1107 (liberal arts math II), STA2023 (intro to statistics). I am not sure which one they used, I think MGF1107 and STA2023 both qualified for a credit. Definitely check that with your advisor ASAP. You do not want to be sent to the back of the list for that. I am glad you noticed that before they started checking students information.

[gigglygaby]

In the meantime, I found a list (see page 2) on attached link. It shows you the common math courses of area 5, which is what they're asking for.

Thanks Gaby! I have both pretty Calc and two semesters of statistics, but because they are "business precalc" and "business stats", I think that's why they aren't transferring correctly.

[gigglygaby]

Hopefully they can get matched. I don't see why they would make a big deal about it, its not like business stats is any easier lol. Are you going to get that checked this week?
