I am also applying for FIU-- I was accepted last year to MDC but for financial and personal reasons could not attend. :'( Who else will be applying to Generic FT? Please state what program you will be applying to!
I will be taking the TEAS sometime in March, in which I will also be taking the HESI A2 for FIU. So I might as well be studying for both, lol. Anybody taken the TEAS at MDC? Share your experiences here! :) I will be using a general book for nursing school entrance exams... it's by Barron... and I will be studying my math from a nursing calculation book, and my sciences from my anatomy, biology, and other notes. Is it true there is geology on the exam? How irrelevant... lol
I am pretty sure that they won't tell us for fear of giving out misleading or conflicting info, and then having their office full of upset students who believe they were somehow cheated because they didn't have the correct information. It seems hard enough as it is to get everyone in the college on the same page as far as pre-reqs, and since the admittance scores are all relative to who applies, they don't want to have to pull their foot out of their mouth.
As far as medical licenses, that may swing more weight in the bridge programs, but from what I hear and what is on the website (which is all we can go on, right?) it is GPA and TEAS score only.
And so we keep on waiting, and waiting some more...only a few more weeks now! 80)
I think in two more weeks we should be getting our info... on Monday when I go to work I'll jump by the nursing dept and ask again. I asked this past week and the nice lady in the front told me they needed more time. :'|
I called today and was told letters should be sent out anytime within june-july. Also they are going to send them out via email now. So now im gonna be glued to mdc email account!
Yeah, I got a large, thick envelope in the mail today and was really excited until I turned it over and saw that it was just a disclosure packet from my bank :/
Awesome if they are also emailing us; I'm ready for the wait to be over and for the studying to begin!
YES finally MDC is moving forward LOL email is soooo much faster! And btw you can choose to have your MDC emails forwarded to your personal email. I hardly check my MDC email for that reason. Goes straight to my hotmail inbox. :-)
Ok now I am really confused...I just got a bill from the school saying that I need to pay back what I got in my book advance money....does anyone else get this? And did you end up needing to pay it back?...I thought book advance money was part of my financial aid and I shouldnt have to pay it back...they really make all of this very confusing. Anyone else get a email like this?
Thanks on eagleswings I called the Nursing Dept and asked and they said the same thing letters go out mid june and that orientation would be around mid July. i just saw on my program audit thing this :" Pgm Admit Status:Y " does anyone else have that. I swear Ive never seen that on my audit before Or maybe its my imagination.
I have been running ot the mailbox everyday. nerve wracking! :)

It means you're in the program and you need to pay up or else.
