Mountain View Spring 2020 application.

The only thing that throw me off about mvc is the grading system, they have so high standards. I am in between mvc and brookhaven. I am going to decide between the 2 on the 31st. Trying to weigh options.

Am on the same boat

What’s their grading system? Never mind my friend told me.

75%-83.9% = C
84%- 91.9% = B
92%-100% = A

Is this mountain view grading system? Wow that's high...

Yes, that’s Mountain View. I’m taking pharma and patho right now and that’s the scale we’re on.

Woooooooowwwwwwww!!!!! I guess I can believe it because I took pharm earlier this year and I was like at a 91.6 and it woundn't round up to 92 which was an A. I was mad lol

I went up there earlier to talk to one of the advisors. That’s def the min to pass(75%). I think that goes for most programs in the area.

I took pharm and 92% was minimum for an A at MVC.

Just in case you've not already thought about this: it takes 24 months for MVC versus 18 months at Brookhaven. In my view, a pressed schedule should be taken into account for ease of successful completion.

Has anyone figured out how to obtain insurance coverage? Thanks!

Btw, I asked about the book situation. The faculty member that I asked said the exact (isbn # specific) books that are on the booklist are required. She didn’t think that you are strictly required to buy from the bookstore. Something about the book package is supposed to give you a nice discount. I also asked about comparing prices; she said we will probably be able to do so. Typically some professors will allow older versions of the book but idk how strict the nursing professors will be.
The bookstore doesn’t have the book package nor do they have the booklist yet. The bookstore said that they do not know when the nursing dept will give them the list either, so just call in periodically.

I’m guessing that we will be able to get the book list by success camp...hopefully.
? I wanted to get a head start on the fundamentals book reading with the approved book for MVC.

Actually Brookhaven is 16 months which is 4 semesters 16 weeks each semester which is the same in the case of mountain view. MVC is 18 months with summers off. Brookhaven does not have summers off.
