Hi,

I started this thread for those that want to chat, brainstorm and encourage each other through the application cycle.

Has anyone taken these course: if so can you please tell me the name of the textbook for the class? Also, in your opinion, is it necessary to purchase the book? Based on my previous experience sometimes teachers don't even use required books.

BIO141 AP1

BIO142 AP2

BIO150 intro to microbio

Yes Ive taken them and yes they use the required books. Most times the books come with a code to access materials. I had all my homework, quizzes and exams from the online book portion. Check with the bookstore for the names because they change every year and sometimes with different professors. My books cost about $250 for A and P. But you use the same book for AP 1 and 2.

I paid $54 for my book on Amazon used and I promise you there was no missing leaves,makings or any form of damage to the book. I couldn't believe that the used book was in such an immaculate condition! I purchased the code from the book store.

I'm not sure if this was ever mentioned here, but I was wondering where you all took your prerequisites from?

Hi Everyone! I’ll be applying by the end of this month and hope to see you all at orientation! Fingers crossed ?

Has anyone spoken to a graduate of the program? I’m so curious as to what a typical schedule would be, like how many days of classes + clinical there are?

Some of my prereqs transferred from my previous university and some I’ve taken through NOVA (online and in person)

Hi guys

Not a graduate yet however I start on the 19th. I will be going to school 2 days. You can stack your classes and one day clinical for this semester.

If you dont mind me asking, how long have you been out of school? I have been out 7 years. The writing class I took was in my freshman year which is 11 years at this point. Do you think I will have to retake the writing class?

My transfer writing course was accepted and satisfied the “ENG 111” requirement. I took it in 2008. I would call the MEC and choose to speak with a counselor, they usually are more available than an advisor. ?

Thank you! So you will only have clinical once a week for the entire semester? Does the day/assignment change?

Yea no problem. Yep clinical one day a week for this semester. You get like 4 sites and a flow chart laying out possible combinations of lectures lab and clinical days so you have some fixed choices if you understand what u am saying.
