Hey everyone,

I just wanted to start a thread for people interested in the MDC nursing program for fall 2012. I think if you shared your scores (TEAS V & GPA) and what track your applying to (full-time or part-time), it will give everyone an idea of where they stand.

I will start:

I have a 3.7 GPA and an 81% on the TEAS and looking to apply for the part-time program. I have the option of taking the TEAS 2 more times which I will be doing :)

It was 1000 applications for part-time and full-time together. She didn't tell me how many applications were specifically for part time. I was planning on asking her that but forgot.

Hello everyone!

Just came back from the medical campus. They said we should be receiving notifications from June 13 to June 18. Basically, we just need to hang in there for another week!

We are going to have just 1 week to respond so everybody please check your email (they suggested 3 times a day). They said the background check and the medical records as well as CPR certification will be required by orientation, which will be around mid July, so, making the appointments in advance wouldnt hurt.

I just want to wish you all good luck. Cant wait to meet you all :)

Science GPA (chemistry + lab, A&P 1&2 + labs, microbiology) count for 40%. Your TEAS V score counts for 60%.

Multiply your science GPA by 10, and add that to your TEAS V score multiplied by 0.6. That is your "quality" score. That weighted score is how applicants are ranked. From my understanding, there is not a huge range of scores for those who are admitted; the difference between the second-to-last and the last in is small.

From talking to a senior-level person in the advisement office, it appears that you're pretty safe with a quality score of 88, but in reality the cutoff was well below that last time.
