This is so nerve racking

k.2012 · Mar 30, 2012

I have to go up to the college on the 5th to get classes squared away for summer. I'm thinking about going ahead with an appeal to find out what they calculated my GPA at. I wish they would include that in the letter somewhere instead of making people fret! Congratulations to everyone accepted so far and good luck to those waiting for a spot like me!

I got accepted into the Basic nursing program! My GPA was about a 3.54 (Sociology A; MCB/L A/A; A&P/L A/A; ENG B; MAC1105 C). It doesn't say what campus I will be assigned to. I would like to be at the Dale Mabry campus (although that was my second choice, my first choice was Plant City).

You had a 3.54?! Ah, man...now I'm definitely appealing! I already sent my stupid acceptance of the alternate seat too! Oh well, it can't hurt to appeal. I had a 3.67 and got an alternate! Gosh dang it, lol. My pre-reqs were SYG A, MCB/L A/A, A&P1/L B/B, A&P2/L A/A, ENC A, MAC B. Grrr, if they somehow miscalculated mine and got me all upset for nothing, I'm going to be angry lol. Thanks for posting, talie...I had decided tonight that I WASN'T going to appeal...until I got on and saw your post lol so thank you! :)

I have a 3.52 and I got an alternate seat :/ I'm hoping I'm at the top of the list. How do you know what gpa they used? I want to call and see.

I am really baffled because my GPA is a 3.85 and I got an alternate seat I sent off my appeal this morning and I am going up to HCC to speak with an advisor about appealing. Wish me luck!!

Eng 1- B

Alg - A

Soc- A

A&P 1- A

A&P 1 L- A

A&P 2- A

A&P 2 L- A

Micro- A

Micro L- A

I dont believe Eng 2 counts towards your prereqs

Hey K,

I don't know 100% how they calculated my GPA but I calculated from the prereqs they posted on the WebAdvisor. A little of my background: I have a BS in Biomedical Sciences form USF (over 130 credits!!), took the remaining nursing prereqs at HCC and I currently work as a secretary at Florida Hospital(for about 1 year now). I only transferred MAC1105 and ENC1101 and the other prereqs I took at HCC.

You said you got a 3.67?! Yea, I would keep on asking them questions and see what was the reasoning behind their decision. Alternate seat is not bad though because you never know, a seat may open!

Don't know if any if this was at least slightly helpful?

Have faith K and Good luck

Wow BradleyT your gpa is 3.85 and you didn't get in right away? now you definitely need to talk to them about that. from what i read the prev. classes seems like a lot of alternates got accepted.keep us posted. Good luck! Seems like there were more in the previous class than us, or maybe not that many of us on here.

I got in!!! Yay!!! Now I'm confused...I only can do the night and weekend schedule at Plant City... The letter asks you to mark wether you want morning or afternoon at DM. Hmmm should I not mark anything and hope to get in for the night program at PC?

brandeekins · Mar 30, 2012

I just got an email back about the way the letter was worded, and she said to choose am or pm, not campus right now. For instance, SS is am only, but the others offer pm/night time. If you want days - am. Nights - pm.
