OCC accelerated program is a go!

[fetachz]

heard it from Dr. Boulos herself!

I attend OCC and was told there is no accelerated program this year. How do you know Dr. Boulus and when did she tell you this? Thanks.

[tworlrn]

Thanks for the info!!

What kind of accelerated program?

[tworlrn]

I believe you are done in 14 months instead of two years (not as much time off, breaks, etc.). I was told last year that they took the first 50 people w/ the highest GPA and invited them into the accelerated program...if you don't want to do it-you can still have a place in the traditional program. Are you also waiting for your letter next month?! Good luck to all who are!

I'll have to attend another info meeting because I haven't been to one in years. If they will be starting a program like that it will be good for alot of people because these list are tooooo long.

I went to an info session this past November because I hadn't been to one in years either. Someone asked about the accelerated program and we were told at that time that there would not be one. They said they did it last year because they got a grant from the DMC. So, I am assuming they must have got the same grant this year. I have to work, so I'm not sure I'd want accelerated anyway...

who is Dr. Boulos? You are referring to Oakland Community College, right? My GPA is a 3.75---what about yours?

[tworlrn]

Yes, the OCC nursing program. Dr. Boulos is the head of the nursing department there. My GPA is 3.88...good luck to both of us!!!
