I believe that if you took the BCC version of it, you don't have to take it at McFatter (but double-check on that). If they told you that there was limited availibility, then that means spots are filling up fast. When you start doing everything there, it's not like "sorry, you're not accepted". To be honest, they pretty much accept everyone unless you didn't score what you needed to on the test (which is nothing to worry about, believe me!). If you want to get in for January, I would go there a.s.a.p. and start moving on things. Maybe even speak to the person in charge of the program, to see if she will let you in for January. What happens a lot there is they go over their "max" because a lot of people fail out the first semester because of anatomy (we had 7-8 ppl drop out/fail). Good Luck! :)

Hello girl80! Well, there really is "no deadline" to have those things done. The only "deadline", really, is when you pay your acceptance fee (which is a date that is set depending on when they sent out the letters). I paid mine the day after I got my letter. I just went there and did it. The backround check, drug test and immunization forms (such a hassle!) should get done, (I'm assuming) before school starts or else you can't register for your classes. They kind of do a check-off list before you are allowed to register. I guess, long story-short, get it done a.s.a.p. This thursday and friday is my orientation. But, don't get discouraged. I know someone who was told they didn't get accepted into FIU's program. Then, they called him yesterday and told him was accepted and that he had to attend a make-up orientation. This might be the case for you. Thanks for the congrats!! I wish you ALL the luck! I hope you get in!!!!!!! If not, try looking into career learning center (that was going to be my back-up plan). If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me :)

Hello Everyone! I applied to the Bridge Program earlier this year. I got my acceptance letter at the end of last month (around the 20th, or so). My GPA is 3.54. What they are probably doing, is waiting for people to either accept or reject. Those who reject or miss their acceptance fee deadline lose their seat. After that, they go ahead and start sending acceptance letters to the "second choice" students. It sounds bad, but whatever it takes for you guys to get in!! The acceptance letter comes in a big yellow-brown envelope. My mail man saw me get the letter and start jumping up and down (he must have thought I was nuts!!). Good Luck to all of you!!! P.S- After you get the letter, there is a lot of stuff to do; vaccinations, drug test, backround check. I would start immediately. The sooner you guys start moving on all that stuff, the sooner you can register for classes. Registration is based on whether you finished turning in all your things or not.

Hello Everyone! I graduated from Mcfatter tech in Oct 2009. When I applied, there was no wait. Everything was kind of simple, in fact. I didn't get an "acceptance letter" per say (that I remember!). The program is a kind of vigorous program. Be prepared in the second semester. Things get tough there; you start to learn about assessments, nursing diagnosis, pharmacology, etc. It was the hardest semester for me. After the second semester, it's all about diseases and such (by systems, i.e digestive, lymphatic), diagnosis of the disease, treatments, interventions, medications, etc. Just take it one at a time. The best thing (for me) was to get a piece of paper, write the disease, what it's characteristics where, diagnosis used, how to treat, medications and interventions. Writing it down helps you to remember (even though you may not think so). It's a good program that gets you prepared for the state boards ( I passed the first time, and so did all my classmates). I am now in the miami dade lpn-rn program. Best of luck to all! Any McFatter students: if you have questions or want advice contact me.
