MJC 2019 application period

[FutureRNhopeful2019]

Hey all,

While looking at information for the Modesto Junior College RN program I came across an awesome thread on here for the 2018 application period. It was great to read through and see how much they motivated each other. It gives us an opportunity to stress together and bond while waiting to see if we get in. I am hoping to make a successful thread for those of us ready to apply in May.

Best of luck to all

Caro27 I noticed that you had your supporting documents approved last year when you applied to the program..just curious..what was the reason you did not get into the program (if you don't mind sharing of course)?

I don't mind at all. getting your documents approved does not mean you're in. my documents where approved but my points only landed me in the alternate/wait list. I was not selected from that list. I didn't waste my year though, I managed to collect some extra points along the way. ? We will see how this year goes. Best of luck to us all.

What points did you earn to raise your score?

Those who submitted the packet in person, did you put it in like a manila envelope or like with a paper clip? And I don't need postage stamps or nothing like Delta or Merced did right?

Nothing fancy. I stapled the pieces that went together then paperclipped the packet. Make sure you have your application summary. That is where they’ll double check and initial that you have everything.

Wow, this is some great info...Does this include Columbia sattellite program or were the points lower for that??

The lowest admitted to Columbia last year was 71. Lowest for MJC was 73

Wait so for Fall 2019 and Spring 2020, the point cut off will be 71? Did people who had lower points than that get invited to support documentation?

[callmepri]

If 120 people were invited, and only 80 get selected for MJC? How do they determine that the other 40 will not get in?

Xflashxlv thank you for this great info! I have a question though. You mention that in July those that are invited are going to have supporting documentation verified..what is the difference between supporting documentation approved vs verified?

Nursesrule7 - I believe documentation approved is what they use when documents have been verified.

If you’re selected it will be accepted for fall or accepted for spring

Callmepri- I don’t think 71 will be the cutoff. That is the cutoff for those selected to provide supporting documentation. This includes those that will be on the alternate list. The cutoff to get accepted will be higher.

That will be point based. Once all that have documents approved are in order, they will re-evaluate points. They do this because maybe someone with high points won’t have appropriate documentation or maybe someone fibbed on their application and become disqualified. So out of those qualified on the MJC campus, the top 80 will be accepted and then the computer will randomly assign you to fall or spring semester. The same will go for Columbia, but they have their own pool of people.

I believe this is correct, 71 will be the cut off for people invited to provide documentation but the ones accepted will be higher. I know its a little confusing on how they select their candidates but here is an insert from the allied health page:

"Initially 120 applicants for the MJC campus and the 40 applicants for the Columbia College campus with the highest points will be selected to provide supporting documentation. The final pool will consist of 80 students for the MJC campus and 20 students for the Columbia College campus."

I don’t understand how people are saying 71 was the cutoff to provide documents. I have many friends with 72 points and 71 and none of them were asked to provide documents.
