We are the Advisors and Counselors at the Medical Education Campus with Northern Virginia Community College. We will attempt to answer your questions about the upcoming Spring 2021 Nursing admissions process.
All course work must be final by the program deadline of September 20, 2020. Course work that
Ends after the deadline of September 20, 2020, will not count
has not transferred AND posted to your NOVA account from an external school Including other VCCS schools, will not count.
For example, you submit your GMU transcript on September 20, 2020, and your transfer credit post-September 31, your applicants would have been rejected.
Common reasons applications don't make it past the initial review for eligibility
The student did not take a course listed as an entry requirement
The student took a course listed as an entry requirement but never transferred the credit to NOVA via the official transfer credit process.
The student had a C- or did not take a required high school level course
The student never provided their high school transcript with their application.
We are still waiting on the final word for the ATI TEAS exam. Check our website for an update on July 17.
GPA of 2.5 at NOVA or if you have never taken NOVA courses a 2.5 at your most recent school
Completion of ENG 111 or higher

Completion of BIO 141
Completion fo PSY 230
Completion of Open elective [ BIO 150 and BIO 142 can not be used as open electives]
Provide high school transcript-
If your high school was in a different country you will need a course by course evaluation by either www.ece.org or www.ierf.org.
All students regardless of the level of education are required to provide their high school transcripts
not doing so will automatically flag your application and lead to a rejection
Show that you took and passed in high school or college with a C or better [not C-]. If you took some other science course in place of Chemistry for example it is likely that it will not count.
BIology
Algebra
Chemistry
How will you be ranked

You are welcome, we have to support one another now with nursing school. I don't think you have to get all of them right away because some of them have months in between. Im sure they just want to see that you have started getting them. Thats how it was when I got my Certified Clinical Medical Assisting Certificate. This is my second time using CastleBranch. But make sure you get in to do the physical soon and the TB test is a two step test so you'll have to go back a few times to have the test read.
I feel the same! Nursing can be so stressful so we need all the support we can get so I really appreciate this. I didn't even sleep last night because I was stressing over it LOL I kept thinking what if they kick me out of the program. But yeah glad to know I don't have to do them all before January but I am definitely going to start on everything now. You have no idea how much you have relieved my mind. I was going crazy wondering LOL. Thank you so much. ?

It can be stressful, I've been having anxiety non-stop LOL. We will get through it and you are welcome:)
For those accepted, make sure to start working on the MEC Symposium Canvas site. The live session will be held the afternoon after the Nursing Orientation. Please start with the introduction and letter to self assignments.
If you mean the application then no. The dates and requirements are on www.nvcc.edu/medical/apply click on requirements and deadlines to see the next application cycle.
Would anyone want to be in some kind of group chat for those who were accepted (groupme or whatsapp)? Other than from the symposium I want to try to get to know some of the people! I figured it would also help with the castlebranch if we have any questions.

I think thats a great idea too! I know that some classes in the past have done a closed group facebook page as well. Did anyone get the canvas link? I saw the post by Mec counselor to start working on the assignments. I don't have a link and I see nothing in Canvas.
