FCCJ spring 2008

tda88 · Sep 28, 2007

judging by everyones total points... 'm probably in for a huge disappointment. i'm applying with only 184 points under my belt and everyone in here seems to have 200+. :uhoh3: i know fall 2007's cutoff was 179. i'll be crossing my fingers and toes for the next few weeks! good luck to everyone applying for SPRING 2008!

I am also applying for the fccj spring 08. I heard that for the past 6 semesters, 183 pts have been the cut off. I think you're in great shape. I'm applying with 202 pts and really hope to get in.

Yikes... that's cutting it real close! :/ haha Thanks for the response though! Hopefully I'll see you next term :)

Hey Guy!

I'm applying for the nights/weekends (only 24 seats) program with only about 185/186 points. I hope to be getting in too! I submitted my application Aug 1st. It's such a long time to wait.

It does seem like forever. I applied just last week and they said 6 weeks from now (mid-nov.). My bf is a 4th term night/wkend student. Its a good schedule especially those that work days, and your classes are at the deerwood campus, while i opted for day/wkdays schedule and will be making that long drive to the north campus. A friend of mine got into last spring's program with 185, so you should have a good way in. If not, dont give up and reapply. A close friend who graduated last April and passed her boards the following month had applied twice into the program before getting in and made it all the way :) Lots of success stories out there.

I am planning to start in the spring term, too...hopefully nights/weekends....I have 202 points. Has anyone hear more specifically about how many hours are recommended to study each day? All I hear is, "I study all the time! That's all I do anymore!" Lovely. But what's that mean???

AGL384... Thanks for the encouragement. I'm thrilled to hear that FCCJ has the night/weekend classes at Deerwood. I think that the communication with North Campus is not good and it's quite a drive for me. It's amazing how a couple of classes I took years ago made the difference in my total points. I'm still not giving up. I am currently a stay at home mom with a 2year old and 2 month old. That could have been why my NAT score wasn't so hot. I took it 9 months pregnant. Anyway.... I think good professors make the difference and I'm looking into that now. I had a pretty bad Micro professor and I'm still a little bent out of shape about it. If I had an A in her class rather than a B I wouldn't be sweating it right now. Those 4 points can make a difference. I'll hold my breath until Nov.

Hello all.

I am sooo nervous! I am applying with 190 points for spring, and am very worried! I am currently enrolled in micro and sociology, so unfortunately, I don't have those extra points... I'm so stressed- I have 3 kids at home; ages 4, 1, and 6 wks. Luckily, my fiance works hard to take care of us so that I can go to school and be with the kids. But this is what I (we) have been working/sacrificing for, and if I don't make it in this term, I may have to consider other options...

I don't know anyone else in the program or even applying, so I am so curious to what sort of points others have/have had.

Also, I did hear it was a "lottery" as far as picking classes and times- if that's true, it kind of sucks to have to wait til the last minute to arrange plans/days for childcare!

Hey kellej! It sounds to me like you have enough points. I'm sure you've read what the cut off trend usually is (180 - 185), and I'll just bet 190 is just fine! Are you trying to go days or nights? Oh...I've applied with 202, but I can tell you that for myself, before getting all my points, I felt like if I could have at least 190, I'd be in pretty good shape.:welcome:
