Macomb Community College - 2020 Nursing Application Cycle

ZhannaD · Feb 24, 2020

They never release that information. But on average I was told they have between 3-4 applicants for each of the 160 seats in the program. The biggest variable is not the number of applicants but rather grades and test scores from this pool of applicants. It’s entirely possible to get in with those scores if you fall into the top 168. Typically the 8 “runners up” can get a seat in the program because every year about that many accepted students back out for one reason or another. It really just depends on the grades and HESI scores and where you fall in the ranks. Keep faith. We will all know soon enough.

I’m so hoping! I know I really screwed up though, thank you!

I applied last year. There were 410 applicants. I heard there were 400 this year. We received a letter with our GPA and HESI score that they were using for ranking, on March 14th. We received acceptance or denial letters on April 4th. Good luck everyone!

Hi

I have a quick question,

During mcc nursing program, will they provide the basic BLS, ACLS, CPR, etc certifications? Or must we achieve these traits on our own time?

Thanks!

once upon a time there was a required class that had CPR and BLS part of the course. I took that class thinking it was required. Then it fell off the requirement. I think you have to get that certification on your own but they don’t make you get it through the college anymore.

Should we create a group on FB for those of us who are on it? If we all get our acceptance letters by Easter, I would say it will be safe to start a group then. Any thoughts on that or objections?

There is a group already. I’ll leave the link below:

Hello,

When I was reviewing the course material, I didn’t see that they provide the courses for the students. You will want your BLS certification, which covers CPR and AED training. ACLS is not required for the program. You can access the nursing student handbook online for more information on everything that you’ll need.

So I have a question...does anyone know if MCC will push back releasing the acceptance letters due to COVID-19? I was told there is only 2 people that review the applications and that's why it takes so long to send them out as it is.

Hello,

I called the school yesterday and they’re still working, even with classes being cancelled. I had the same concerns. I intend to call every week to alleviate my worries, and if anything changes, I’ll post about it.

Hey everyone,

My dad works at macomb and said he received an email saying that no staff are currently working on campus and that most of the buildings at macomb are closed and staff are working from home. Does anyone know anything about this and how it will affect when we receive the decision letters? Do you know if they're working from home on admissions? Thanks!

I sent an E-Mail to admissions and I am waiting for a response. When you call they do state staff is working from home as well and can still be reached by E-Mail. We’ll see! I’ll let you know.
