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 :)
I already sent in my application for the Fall Program...how do you know the gpa for just your science classes??
Hey Emmunoz, the way I figured is A=4 points, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. Add up all the points for your science classes (so an "A" in a 3 credit course would be 12 points) and divide by the total credits of science classes.
If you don't mind, could you share your grades/GPA and your TEAS score?? Also what track you're applying to? That way it gives an idea to others out there in the same boat.
I will be applying for the Fall Generic program. I have a 4.0 gpa and received a 76 on my teas so my total
entrance score is 85.18. I'm wondering if I should take the teas 2nd attempt.Just wanted some opinions on
my scores and recent cut off totals. Thank you.
Hi Angel,
You have a great GPA and a good TEAS score.....however I would recommend taking it again as I hear with MDC that the average cutoff for the TEAS is around 80. Again, this all depends on the applicant pool. But if you're able to, I personally would take it again and try to break that 80 threshold.
I have a 3.6 gpa and my teas score was a 72(which is horrible). I can't take it another time until July . I am also trying to apply to dade medical college has anyone looked into that program or heard of anyone in it??
Hello people! I have been gone for a couple of days and I am very glad to see new posts. Just wanted to say hi and thank all of you for sharing. Hope to see you guys in August

Hi Emmunoz,
I think everyone one this thread is applying to Dade Medical College. For the nursing program, there are 3 different tracks, Accelerated, Generic Full-time, and Generic Part-time. It's a tough program but definitely doable. Which track did you apply for?
I applied for the part time program so I could still work since I do not qualify for financial aid.
I did apply for Dade Medical College its another school that starts nursing programs almost every month. It is seperate from MDC I was just wondering if anyone had heard of it...

Hey Emmunoz,
I'm sorry, I have heard of Dade Medical College but I don't know anything about it. I just read it quick and thought you meant Miami Dade college lol.
I've already turned in my apps for all 3 programs (accelerated, generic full time, and generic part time) at MDC. I'm not sure of my overall science GPA as I'm finishing A&P I & II, labs, and Micro next week. I have A's in all as far as I can tell at this point though. I did get an 86.7 on the TEAS, and am not planning to take it again at this point. Now it's just a waiting game. Good luck to us all, and hopefully we find out soon!!!
