I'm applying into the nursing program at MCC for the Fall of 2008. Have taken my TEAS exam and scored an overall of 88% with a 95th percentile. My overall GPA is a 3.13. Was an engineering major but switched over to Biology Pre-Professional major. So majority of my classes that I've completed which by the way is over 30 credits already are mainly General ed and engineering classes, like C++ (CSC133), Calc II, Chem II and so forth. Have not taken any biology or anatomy classes which I have reqistered for in the Spring of 2008. I will be taking Anatomy and Phys I and Microbio along with sociology. I'm at the borderline of having to decide what major I need to go for. So I have applied both to Rutgers and MCC for the Fall of 2008. If I don't get into nursing my back up plan is Physician Assistant, which I need to get my Biology major anyways.
So the only science class I have are Chem I (B) and Chem II (B) and my maths, PreCalc (A), CalcI (B) and CalcII (B). Anyone on the same boat or have questions to be answered. Even regarding the TEAS exam.
just want to let guys know that I was accepted into the Middlesex County College nursing program. I scored an 84.5 on my TEAS, and had an overall GPA of 2.8 at Middlesex. My scores in Anatomy I and II were both B's. These scores might not sound competitive but I already have a Biology degree from Rutgers New Brunswick. That might have helped my case a great deal considering all of the stuff I've been hearing about trying to get into this program.
Oh! One more thing. I was initially put on the waiting list when I received my letter April 30th; I figured that was basically a "no", since I heard that the waiting list was forever, but I received a call yesterday (6/9) that a spot had opened up and they were offering me a seat in the program (thanked the heavens for that).
Well, that's that. I don't know if this post helps anyone in terms of trying to gauge what it takes to get into the program. My TEAS score was definitely higher than average (76?), but my GPA was abysmal considering what everyone else seems to be striving for, but I think I really owe it all to my previous degree.
If any of you have any questions, just post them at me, and I'll try to answer them as best as possible. Good luck everyone! I feel like there are others out there who deserved the spot over me, but, I'm nevertheless thankful that I got it.
