FCCJ Fall '09???

you will be fine it will take 2 hrs tops to take it...good luck!!!

I have 219 just turned in my applcation monday so now its time for the waiting....

hgerun5- Thanks for the info!!! Thanks for the Goodluck too!!! I will need it!!

Should I mail in the app or bring it to the office?

I brought mine up there just to make sure I had everything I needed attached. The lady looked to make sure I had everything. Also I have never been to North Campus and wanted to make the drive there to see the campus and everything...

I will be applying for Fall 2009. I haven't taken the NAT yet or CPR. We dont have to take CPR unless we get accepted? Correct? Is there anyone applying that isnt in Duval or Nassau? I am in St Johns and I feel a little hopeless like I have no chance since I am not in those counties. Is this a permanent change? Does anyone know?

Here is the way it works:

X # of applications

Y # of slots

After they process all Duval and Nassau qualified applications, IF there is a seat open, they will fill with other counties. After that, they will accept out of state.

I just started Summer 09..... we had over 300 applications for somewhere around 95 slots. (There are more slots for the other semesters). It is unlikely that anyone outside these counties will be accepted.

Someone once recommended that you use a local address when applying. I did find out that part of the delay in receiving our acceptance letters was that they were checking into the addresses of the applicants to verify if they were really Duval or Nassau students.

You could always consider moving just inside the county lines.....

Wish I had better news for you.

Hello everyone... I'm new to the site!!

I turned in my application today for fall 09..

Im so excited, now its the waiting game now! :anbd:

Does anyone want to share their points value? possible cut-off?

I didnt do that well on the the NAT, so my points= around 191..

I'm not exactly sure, but I think the initial cut off was 190.24 points.

....but went lower when some folks declined their seats.

Ok,Im wondering what you mean by "qualified applications" for Duval and Nassau counties? What if people in other counties have more points than the ones from Duval and Nassau? Do they look at the county or the number of points looked at first??

I am thinking they must put everyone in point order and then pick all the Nassau and Duval people with the highest points first, and then fill with the other counties that have the same amount of points??

I personally think it is stupid that they do not consider outside counties. What other program do we have to choose from, except SJRCC and private colleges in the area? I know I would want a nurse that is smart and knows what he/she is doing whether than one that is from a particular county and does not know what they are doing.

I just took the NAT today and figured out that I have 204.08 points. I am praying that this will be enough since it looks like many of you have much more then that.

Good luck to everyone and maybe I will see you at orientation.

Qualified applicants means they fulfilled the minimum requirements to apply for the program.

Sooo, as you guessed:

If there are 500 applicants and 150 slots (made up #s),

100 applicants met all requirements and reside in Duval and Nassau counties, ALL of them will be accepted. With 50 more seats, they start looking at those in other FL counties.

If there are 250 applicants and 150 seats

200 applicants met all requirements and reside in Duval and Nassau counties, the top 150 would be accepted, the next 50 would get reject letters and so would anyone else who applied.

In essence, if the highest applicant from Duval or Nassau had a score of 219 and there were enough D/N cty applications....and your score (from St. Johns County) was 220, you would NOT be accepted.

Fair or not, this is the way it is.
