I chose to apply to MC's ADN program with the intention of enrolling in their co-enrollment program with UMD. I plan to work on both degrees at the same time. I'll have all of the "foundation" classes done after this Summer, so in the fall, I'll only have Nursing courses to take for both programs! I'm so relieved because even though those courses aren't "hard", it will free up so much time for me during the actual program. I've already been accepted to Hagerstown's ADN program, and I'm waiting to hear back from NVCC (they have a similar program with Mason) and MC (also with UMD) later this month. Fingers crossed! I'm really unsure how competitive my application is so I'm really dreading the next couple of weeks waiting!
Congratulations on your acceptance! ??I really like the dual enrollment opportunity at MC too!
@QueenB Thank you! I live in Rockville, so MC would be much more convenient but we will see. I am super nervous my app isn't competitive enough though...hate to admit, I got a C in A&P I ?, but A's and B's in the other prereqs. I'm hoping my TEAS scores and GPA will make up for that but who knows how the rankings will look. How do you feel about your application?

Oh no! I bet it was nerves! I'm sure you'll get it next time! When are you able to take it again? Now, you know what to expect!

CONGRATS! Do you mind me asking how you scored? How do you feel about the rest of your application? I'm scared my sciences grades are going to make me less competitive. A&P was not pleasant for me ?

So the lack of official transcripts will affect the review of our nursing application. ?
Hey! Were you able to get your application in on time for the fall?

Honestly, I think it was the test format at PSI, it was not the same as the original ATITeas format that is given in school. Two days after I received my score I decided to do a practice test at home and I scored 11 percent higher than my test. I'm thinking about retesting in July at MC.

You might be better off than me LOL
I have a C in Chem AND A&P II. I have a B in A&P I, A in Micro and A in Patho (I took it cause my A&Ps are older than 5 years). I scored 88 on the TEAS(91 in Reading and 96 in Math)
I feel like I have a lot of strength and past mistakes that are reflected in my older grades. I hope they see that I am capable of handling the tough courses.
I highly doubt one C will count against you. Highly doubt.
You guys should be fine!! When MC reviews your application the number 1 thing they look at is that you have completed your priority courses. 2 They look at your TEAS both of you have a good strong TEAS score. They use your grades when they have a high amount of qualified applicants.

Ha thanks for the encouragement! Those are awesome scores! The prerequisites are a little different from the packet I looked at when I went to an info session in the fall to the one that's posted on the website now. Who knows? When did you go to an info session?

That stinks! I've only taken the test at MC so I haven't seen anything else! Definitely re-test! ?

No my transcripts didn’t come in time. But it’s okay, I’m gonna apply for the August deadline. I never actually had an official transcript evaluation done with MC, so I will use this time to have that done. I have finished all of my pre-requisite classes but my anatomy one class was taken in 2014 so I have to retake that this Summer ? I am considering retaking the TEAS for a better score.
