   Congrats! The class has to be finished by mid-December, I believe. There is enough time, but you will have to get started ASAP. There's a lot of little quizzes and assignments. Are you sure you are searching for the group with the same name I pos...

   You can always call the school and ask to know for certain, but I'm sure there will be more acceptance emails coming. At the very least, there will be more spots available for those that decline their acceptance. Don't give up hope!

   Congratulations to those that got in! It seems like the people who were accepted were interviewed last week so stay hopeful and calm if you are still waiting. There's still plenty of time! I also was accepted this morning. I received the email ...

   I'm thinking the same thing. I definitely think that a strong academic background is important, but I think they would consider other relevant achievements as well. Have you submitted your application yet?

   I know some homestead students transferred to medical campus after failing a class in homestead and requesting a different professor. I'm sure they can switch you to homestead but it might take some effort.

   I also want to inform you all of the grading scale.....93-100% is an A...anything less than a 77% is failing. I don't know of any other schools that use this grading scale. It's nice to know this ahead of time instead of the first day of class!

    I loved the Homestead campus. I really really thought it was great. I'm not sure if they do it the same way, but they base on in your address. I believe anyone on SW 24 st or south of that will attend Homestead campus. It's much more tight-knit o...

    We can chat on the FB page. I am in generic FT and I have a different orientation date. You can pull up the first day of school by looking at the classes on MDC's website (go there as if you are registering for classes). It is sometime in late Aug...
