Karenanda,

Congrats to you as well. I've heard that the interview process isn't a big deal, but don't quote me on that:) I should be able to get more info from some of the people I work with that have gone thru it, and I'll pass it along. I'm excited and nervous as well, but ready to get started.

Congrats again!!

EMT- Native,

I had a 3.93 GPA. I had all A is in pre-reqs and some reqs classes except for a B+ in Statistics. Another classmate of mine also got in with a 3.9 and another with a 3.8.

I had completed AP1, Eng Comp1, Statistics, General Psych, Sociology and 2 foreign language classes as electives. I am currently taking AP2 and Eng Comp 2. I just have Dev. Psych and Med Micro left as requirements.

What was nice is they seemed to overlook my poor grades from a previous Bachelors from 20+ years ago in classes that weren't required.

Best of luck to you. The class they look at the closest is the A&P 1 so really kick butt in that class. Eat sleep and breathe Anatomy.

I applied this semester but got denied. im going to apply again as well as Stony Brook. i took NCC for granted. i applied with A+P 1 and 2, Eng 1 and 2, med. micro, psy 1 and child dev. Stats, Soc and some electives oh and im currently enrolled in 3 honors classes and am in the honors society. oh yea GPA is a 4.0 with all mentioned courses 3.85 including one C ten years ago so go figure.

Those sound like amazing grades. Don't understand why you were denied. I have read on these boards that sometimes more seats open up later one if the people got in to more than one school and don't accept the seat. Best of luck to you.

Did you hear from Stonybrook yet?

Natingale,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I can't believe you posted your congrats to me - earlier today, I was thinking of how I owed YOU a note of thanks for all of your past encouragement. I had heard a lot of negatives from sooo many people about how "impossible" it is to get into NCC, but you have been really encouraging and supportive. I'm flying high - but of course, the nerves are getting a little rattled. But - I'm ready for the challenge and I'm so honored to be able to take it.

Hopefully, I'll get to say "hi and thanks" to you on campass. Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day!

Dibbs, do you mind disclosing what your GPA was? How long did it take you to get in? Congrats!

Everyone gets so caught up with the GPA. Theres a ranking score too yanno. There are a lot of factors that go into getting accepted, Im sure there are people with a 3.3 3.4 that got accepted (i know 2 of them) Go to an open house, it will squash everything you've heard, and shed some light on the program itself.

Dibbs, thanks. Feel free to contact me with any questions, or to vent :)

Natingale,

Many thanks for your calm and no nonsense factual replies all the time! I won't hesitate to contact you for your much appreciated help - although I can't be sure I'll be calm, and I know I probably won't be factual!:)

Enjoy your weekend,

Dibbs
