MDC Fall 2011 =)

I am very confused now!!! Someone posted here that they didnt receive the email because MDC had their email wrong, so my confusion is: they will send the email thru my mdc email right??? So, chances are that the email is right, I just didn't receive my email yet!!!

Sorry to post another question here, but I don't want to make Advising mad and I would rather find out from other students anyways. Has anyone found out if the drug screening can be unsealed?

Step 5.b in the requirements list says that the results must be in a sealed envelope:

... but the student health form from step 4 requires the results to be signed off by a physician, NP, or PA. But how can they sign off and attach the form if I give them a sealed envelope from one of the labs listed in the link given by MDC?

From ZeppHead8's comments, it sounds like s(he) isn't sure whose end the typo came from. From their scenario, it seems like they would have never found out except that they went in and supplied the correct email. This is just a suggestion, but maybe if you call or go in and pretend that you know for sure you made a typo on your own end (because you saved a copy of the form or something) and you want to give them the correct email address. Possibly that would prompt them to double check and tell you what the system shows rather than waiting.

Hi guys! I hope all is going well...quick question..of those of you who got accepted, did any of you apply for a part time position that you will not be accepting?? I know Dea089 said that she will not be accepting part time because she got into the full time program that she wanted..just wanted to get an idea of where I stand..THANKS!!! :)

Olga wasn't there this afternoon and some other girl in advisement said the cut off score was 85 but that's not true because I got an 82 and got accepted.

Sorry I couldn't give u any new info, mocadell.

I also went to the nursing department and the girl in front said what I had (unsealed) should be fine but then the lady who actually does the forms (she didn't give me her name) saw my faxed copy from the lab to my doctor and said that would not be acceptable and that the lab needs to send her the original in a sealed envelope and give that to me to turn in. It makes no sense to me either but I'm going to try to get it done...if that doesn't work I guess I'll have to go to one of those clinics and take another drug test...I'm running out of money :smackingf

zepphead, congrats!!!!!!

marah, we totally have to form a study group. i'm so ininin. :)

i got my background check today. i went to the place in coral gables. it was kind of full!

my doctor is on vacation until the 20th--i am so anxious, i think i am just going to show up and speak to his assistant. i just want to know if my insurance will cover all this stuff. :|

I want to apologize for some of my questions. I think I might be creating unnecessary stress for myself and maybe others too. I've come to the conclusion that the process MDC set forth is not totally clear cut - especially if you start analyzing it too much. It seems to depend on which advisor you speak to, who answers the phone, and other random factors. I have a feeling that when we submit all this stuff at the orientation, that's the only day we will really find out where we stand. So I'm just going to try and get the 8 steps done however it works out and face the consequences on July 18.

hm sounds like a good plan lol i hate stress

Its crazy how every person there is on a different page. When I called yesterday I was told that a first batch of accptance emails went out this week and a second batch is going out next week "so dont be surprised to see your name in the pile" That this is how they do it in batches. We'll just have to wait it out! So unless u get a rejection letter there still mayb a chance!!!
