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've even taken bsn requirements and am now taking the requirement for lpn program intro to health which is really helpful and will be a requirement for fall 2012
Hi guys i wonder if there is something involved with those numbers i applied to more than one program and got 5 phone calls. but i'm anxious i didn't get into my first choice and i need to get into this my teas score wasn't amazing. but my gpa is good and i really want this i will be stalking my mdc email like a hawk.
Sorry, what do you mean "something involved with those numbers" ? Glad to hear you got so many calls, I suppose that means that MDC is covering their bases
They probably are. You think mdc reads these sites? I wish everyone on here luck this site was my best friend and helped me through and with my other program that i applied and i basically knew i hadnt gotten in after 3 days of acceptance. Hopefully mdc's program is in order of other people getting acceptance emails. The other program i applied to was in order of when you applied and that was nerve racking so you didn't know either way if you were good till the bitter end. But it's going to be sad through next week guys, but i wish everyone luck and maybe we should throw an after orientation party:yeah:

So I was there today and heard a lot of stuff. I heard a couple women making phone calls alerting everyone to check their emails next week. Second, one of the supervisors told me decisions have been made and emails will go out as early as Monday. Third, I had a major problem while there...
I noticed a few days ago that the system was still requesting a transcript from my current graduate school. I just graduated with my master's degree a couple weeks ago, so when the transcript was originally sent, I was still enrolled in a Histology class... so my transcript showed that grade as a blank space. A couple of the pre requisites (anatomy and physiology) I took during my masters program about a year ago, which was listed on my transcript. So naturally, I thought everything would be covered. I made a phone call a couple weeks ago to make sure, left my name and number, but no one ever called me back. So I went to the admissions office today to talk to someone and found out that my masters degree transcript was never evaluated... so the system still shows me as not meeting the anatomy and physiology requirments, although they have been complete for over a year and are on the transcript that is currently in their possession. I was then told "too bad, you will have to reapply"... after arguing for several minutes, I was then shown into the office of the director or supervisor, or whatever she is... after saying her system was down, she was unable to look up any of my information, but the pervious advisor I spoke to gave her the basics of my situation. After several more minutes of arguing.. she says there is really nothing she can do and that because decisions are already made, I will have to reapply for the september 1st deadline. I just need people's opinions... because I feel like this is completely unfair.. I submitted everything before the deadline... even clept'ed out of a class before May 1. She is telling me because my degree was not complete, they would not even look at my transcript. Is this right? I feel like people apply to programs while in progress at another school... its pretty common. Is there anyone I could or should talk to above these people in the new student center? I feel like this is a mistake on their part that they just dont want to own up to seeing as how I have had everything in since the deadline. The only glimmer of hope I have is that my masters degree will be conferred on Wednesday of next week.. meaning... it will show up on my transcript.. she said I could submit it as soon as it shows up and be placed in the applicant pool, and if people start not taking the offer of admissions, maybe then Id have a chance... but she said no garuntee. Im going to do this, but I feel like there is a better way to be proactive before monday.
I'm kind of afraid to say anything because of retaliation. What I don't understand is why the process is not totally transparent. The school is publicly funded and it seems that just like for civil service applicants, the selection process should be totally open for inspection. Unless the complete list (without names) is shown with scores and gpa's along with where the cut off was made, how will anyone know if it was done fairly? If the applicants were judges solely on the 60/40 TEAS/GPA criteria as stated, then it should be very straight-forward. But I have heard so many rumors about totally subjective decisions being made that it makes me worry. When I asked an advisor about discrimination, she said "Oh no, we don't do that", but isn't there supposed to be some kind of verification and accountability rather than just taking their word about a secret and concealed process?
