Just throwing it out there, it's still far away and we won't know if we got in for awhile yet.

Also, any current students who can give info about the program, and the admissions average they had in the PN program would be helpful as well.

My average in the PN program was 86%...not the best so my fingers are crossed.

I applied but haven't heard anything yet. What was your raw score for the nursing questionnaire?

Hey

Did you get your acceptance on mocomotion or a letter in the mail?

I got my acceptance letter in my email but I'm sure they will send a letter. My score for the questionaire says raw: 5 normalized: 71. good luck!

xokw: confirmed! we can rant about the program together...(since I already know that I dislike MAC's teaching style...but I wasn't willing to commute to another school or re-locate since I work in Hamilton)

Wow you guys are pretty lucky in the bridging program! I just completed Mohawks Pre-Health and got in with a 91 average and 6/7 on the nursing questionnaire. 6/7 was the minimum for being accepted first round it seems.

Lucky about what exactly? There's nothing lucky about maintaining an 85%+ average (minimum for acceptance into bridging) in a nursing program. I received a first round acceptance with a 90% and there was no luck involved in that :)

I took 8 classes a semester plus placement and worked almost full-time to pay for it all because I had no help. I'm not saying I'm a martyr because I know just about everyone is in a similar boat these days, but I just don't think it's fair to call anyone's acceptance "luck".

Sorry if I offended you.. I guess I should have worded it differently. I was speaking more towards the supplementary questionnaire. The applicant pool must be different that with a 5/7 people have received offers is what I meant to point out. The supplementary questionnaire is weighted so heavily that those who received less than a 6 have not been offered admission from pre health. I know a few people that it has affected and one person in particular who worked their butt off for a final grade of 95% ..and because they got 5/7 are on the waiting list! Anyway, I know what you mean about hard work, I in no way meant to imply anyone has handed anything to yah!! Congrats on doing so well!

Not offended, it makes sense now! It doesn't help that for the Mac/Conestoga collaborative program my acceptance was based only on grades, so I didn't really understand the extra component!
