FCCJ Fall 2008

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello all! Just thought I'd start a thread for all of those folks that have submitted, or are getting ready to submit, their applications for FCCJ's Fall '08 term.

I will be submitting my application in a few weeks, when this Spring term ends. I have taken my NAT (twice), so I'm good to go there, but still need to get my CPR class done. I called several places & I'm waiting to hear back from them.

I look forward to chatting with & getting to know all of you, who will be doing the count-down with me... on getting our acceptance letters!!!

I know it helps to sound-board off each other & to lean on each other for support... especially with getting all the things done that we have to do!

Best of luck & success to all!!!

I know I might sound like a dummy, but I was wondering did any of you get a C in any of the pre-reqs?

I just got my grades and I made a C in AP1...I am not sure if it can be retaken, but if not how much is a C worth when doing the point system?

Thanks!

I personally have not gotten any C's, but don't let that be a gauge for you. Just try very hard to make A's & B's in all of your other pre-reqs & do well on the NAT. An A is 4 pts, B is 3, & C is 2 pts, so you got 2 pts times 4 credit hours for A&P 1, so your total is 8 points for that class.

Hope I helped...

Good luck!

Hello everyone! I'm hoping to apply for Spring 2009.

This is a scary ride for me. I just turned 46 and have two children, one who is home schooled. It's been 26 years since my first round of college. Thank goodness I'm a better student now than I was back in the 80's. I finished this semester with all A's.

Nice to be here!

Yes it did help! I am just so mad at myself for not getting a B at least! I am going to see if it would be okay for me to retake it or if to stick with a C with a counselor soon. Thanks again, it really helped out!

My suggestion would be to take the NAT. If you score high on the NAT then the grades are not as much to worry about. A C to a B is only a 4 point difference so you can try to make that up via your NAT score. You also have time to retake the NAT and score higher. The test is exactly the same the second time, so if you are unhappy with your score then sit down right then and write down what you didn't do well on. Then study that over the next 90 days. Also if you by chance score worse in a different section they will still take your higher score. This also was what my A & P teacher told everyone who was worried about a C.

thanks for the info; it is good to know. who was your ap teacher? i have already registered for ap2 at the deerwood campus. i hope having it this way will be a lot better. is there a place where i can buy a practice book for the nat? how many questions are on the test? how was micro for you? i took the lab part at another school and got an a, but will have to retake it here because i never took the class. is there a teacher you would recommend?

sorry about all the questions, thanks again!!

...Just wanted to let you know that I had 2 C's...but got a 107 on the NAT and made it in the first time for this summer...classes start Tuesday!!

...I wouldn't pay the extra money and spend the extra time to retake the class I would just rock the NAT! Good Luck!

you cannot use names here, but i would go onto ratemyprofessors.com that is a fairly accurate site. my ap teacher is no longer with fccj but he was a great man and taught at north campus. i took micro at kent, just don't take it hybrid. it may be easier, but i don't feel like i learned a whole lot.

there is a practice book for the nat, but really isn't worth it since it is so much harder than the test. i would suggest grabbing it too look at and see how the questions will be worded and such.

I agree. I got 2 books to help me study for the NAT & it was, as someone mentioned in a previous post, "like studying 12th grade material for an 8th grade test".

I took it twice & did great the first time, but did even better the second time because it is the same exact questions & I remembered a lot of it.

Good Luck!

I am taking my nursing school application up to North Campus tomorrow (for Fall '08)... WHOO HOO! I'm so excited to finally be applying... now it's the waiting game to get that acceptence letter in the mail!:no:

I hope for the best for you! As it looks now, I'll be done with my pre-reqs after the fall semester, but I read last night I can't apply until I'm done with A&P 2, which won't end until after the deadline for Spring 2009. So it looks like it's Summer 2009 for me. :cry:

waiting waiting waiting, does anyone know how long it takes after the deadline date to get a letter

I hand-delivered my application yesterday to North campus & the lady told me about 8 weeks from the deadline date.... which is June 1st, so that would mean we would hear something around August 1st. But from previous posts I have read, from those applying for the Fall term, they seemed to have gotten their letters around the 1st week of July... fingers crossed.

I am very impatient when it comes to this sort of thing...
