Macomb Community College Nursing 2013

sinclairl · Apr 23, 2013

a.carolina, I ended up with a B+ in General Micro and B in A&P. I have an A in ENG and A in the intro to Nursing class so my plan is to retake A&P this spring/summer and Ashley Hayes, I did take the professor you recommended. I have been told by a lot of people she is great. I am not counting myself out just because my scores are slightly lower than the bottom of what was accepted last year!

Winterbebe7, I have 3.39 and 88 on Hesi so I am close to your scores and staying hopeful. I know last year the bottom person had 3.43 and 87 on hesi and they put people on the alternate list. I am hoping for the best and hope to slide in. If not, there's always next time...

Alright. So whoever gets in (i'm hoping to be among them) we all have to meet at the bar that night! I'm serious.

@Winterbebe I would have thought it'd be the opposite, honestly. From what I've gathered nursing programs are the crown jewel of community colleges, so I would think they'd want those with the highest scores to get in/stay in/graduate being as they'd seem most likely to succeed (on paper), so I'd think they'd send nursing acceptance letters out first as to not lose applicants with higher scores to other programs. But, I'm probably wrong, ha.

@Bayliedynell, so we can skip waiting and just go in tomorrow (assuming ranking is finished) and get our letter printed instead of waiting for it to come in the mail Wednesday?

Bbett, MSN, NP · Apr 23, 2013

@RL36 from the information I received they made it sound like as long as it was the day of when the letters went out. One girls mail didn't come in until late so she went in, could be false information though.

Bbett, MSN, NP · Apr 23, 2013

I'm getting my information by being obsessive and reading over 2012 thread. It's been very informative!

RL36 · Apr 23, 2013

Indeed it is, I've read it too many times and now all I do is read this thread, lol.

So does anyone plan on going to Macomb and asking for a print out tomorrow?

Bbett, MSN, NP · Apr 23, 2013

No. Wednesday would be the earliest because

Bbett, MSN, NP · Apr 23, 2013

Wednesday would probably be the earliest you could get your letter. I'm sure they didn't send anything out today. I will be waiting for my letter the old fashioned way. I think it is half of the fun!

I was not thinking about it that way with wanting the highest scores. I have noticed a trend in Macomb adding the class intro to nursing and having teachers say how hard the profession is and many give worst case scenarios about what happens in the field and I was told by some teachers that these are ways of weeding students out of the program that would end up not staying in the field.

I will meet for drinks, it would be nice to meet you all!!!

And this is probably a silly question but when they say the last person admitted had a 3.4 and 88 hesi, is that the last person admitted BEFORE the people off the wait list got in or was that the dead last person who made it in from the wait list?

I'm waiting for mine too.. I might call tomorrow just to see if they sent the letters..

@winterbebe7 my intro to nursing professor said the same thing to our class, that they're trying to weed people out... My guess would be that that's the last person admitted before they started taking alternates, but I could be wrong...

Part of the problem with the ranking (which I wasn't aware of until recently) is that the same two people do the ranking for all of the selective admissions programs at Macomb. So there are only two people entering in all of the info, sending out the first round of letters, dealing with any discrepancies and then doing the ranking. I would imagine that's why the letters for acceptance into the different programs are staggered.

Although, given that, I'm not sure why they all have the same due date. Wouldn't it be less stress for the ladies doing the ranking (& the people in the enrollment office for that matter) and the students if they staggered those instead?
