MCC nursing applicants for 2015

Published

Hello everyone!

I've been obsessively reading over the threads for the 2013 and 2014 applicants, but I thought I'd see if anyone will be applying to the Nursing program at Macomb Community College for 2015. I am a transfer student from Texas and will be taking A&P this summer then intro to Nursing (since MCC requires that you take their specific course) and micro in the Fall. I'm so excited to get back into school and was wondering if anyone is following along the same timeline.:up:

I spoke to a counselor not too long ago and he gave me the statistics of the past couple years that included the bottom 5 scores of the HESI and GPA of students who got accepted.

2014- 84 HESI, 3.68 GPA (I think he said around 342 got ranked for this past year)

2013- 87.2 HESI, 3.52 GPA

2012- 87.8 HESI, 3.44 GPA

2011- 83.8 HESI, 3.89 GPA

2010- 88.2 HESI, 3.58 GPA

average of all combined: 86.2 HESI, 3.62 GPA

It clearly varies from year to year, but this still makes me so nervous í ½í¸£

Well I guess the good thing about those statistics is that my scores fall right into the average. I think whats gonna help us all this year is that everyones hesis were extremely low. The hesi class averages used to be around 86-88% in the past years, now the norm is 80 or 81. Sweetp3a, do you know of any other scores or gpas applying this year?

Jessica, I agree. Last year with our scores, we would have gotten in. So its really annoying. These few months are going to suck waiting around lol.

Did they tell you what the top 5 scores were?

Reading those averages make me nervous. Most people on here seem to have scored in the 80's but also have a higher gpa. It makes me even more nervous that there are probably 300-350 people applying and only 10-15 people have posted their scores on here. Who knows how good/bad the rest of the applicants did. I hope these months fly by!!

I know of only three other people applying other than all of you, and their scores were both 3.8 GPA and 88 HESI. The other one was a 2.4 GPA and 87 HESI. I don't have the heart to tell her that I don't think she will get in. She really didn't try though.

Hi, I am Jules, I posted earlier but not recently. So I went to a counselor before filing the application for the program and here is my scores. GPA 3.39 and 90 HESI. I know my GPA is low but my HESI should make up for it. I wish everyone the best, looking forward to the program. So excited!!!!

Sorry didn't figure it out completely but regular tuition per credit hour (I believe), cost for books (depending where you get them, new, used, from another student), cost for supplies (scrubs, nurse pack, stethoscope, etc.). Books can range from used at around $400-900, new close to $1500-1800, equipment a few hundred probably. From what I have seen this might give you a general idea. Hopefully I am right.

Tuition is 92/credit hour. The program ranges from 10.5-11.5 credits per semester. The clinical each semester costs 150 more like a lab class. The first semester books cost a lot, about 1,000 if you buy them new; but then you use the books throughout the entire program so you don't have to purchase books except for in psych and OB and peds.

It's actually extremely cheaper than I thought it would be

Ok thank you both for that info! Doesn't seem as expensive as i thought it would be!

Nope it's not bad at all. The same as just taking full time classes towards any other program!
