To all current and past Massasoit Community College Nursing Students, What do you like or dislike about the nursing program? What is the typical day program schedule? Did anyone get accepted without completing ALL the non-nursing courses? I p...

I believe they wait until the spring semester is over so they know how many spots before they make selections.

Not crazy at all! I will be 42 when I start my ASN program this fall. I think the LPN program is a great idea. You can always continue your education in the future.

I found the group by typing bccnursing15 in the search

Congrats Amanda! Is BCC your first choice? Traditional or eHealth?

I would love to network on Facebook. Please post the name of the BCC group you create and I will spread the word to a few others that also were accepted. This is so exciting, I can't wait to meet everyone.

Congrats Fabz07 and xhsx!!! I am also traditional. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you kylebrian97.

Congrats Southshore2014!!!! That is awesome.

If you go to accessbcc and select student services tab then display an unofficial transcript. Both my DegreeWorks and Unofficial transcript have changed but student information has not changed.

OMG! My major has been changed to Nursing!!!!! I am listed as traditional and my friend just checked and she is eHealth. I am going to stock teh mailman tomorrow and Monday until I get that official letter.

Was her major changed today?

I look at it the same as checking your email. We are just checking for a new message (or change in major), which is completely normal.

Yes I log into degree works everyday when I am logging into my eLearning class.

I was relieved too when she told me and glad you are all taking it the same way. I was hoping it was going to be received as good news and help calm nerves.

I feel the same way xhsx. One of my classmates received a rejection letter at the beginning of February so we made it past the first cut.

What age did you decide to go into nursing? 40 When did you graduate? Just completed the pre-reqs for a RN program. Application submitted this past January and just waiting to find out if accepted. AND... what field were you in prior to that?? ...

kylebrian97, Welcome to the group. I am sure you are a wealth of knowledge on the application process so please share anything helpful. The waiting is excruciating and it must be worse the second time. I am sure you will be at the top of the list si...

Thanks Sheryl18 for the encouragement!

I submitted my application end of November and made appointment with admissions in December to have them review to make sure it was complete. Southshore, I think in access bcc you can either look at student info or unofficial transcript to see if yo...

My degree works updates every day.

Thanks xhsx! I just wish they would give a clear answer on how they rate the applicants. I have asked several people at BCC admissions and they just respond by saying we look at both GPA and points together. The other schools in the area have a ver...

That is discouraging. My cumulative GPA is under 3.5, but my GPA since I started at BCC in 2013 is 4.0 with 32 credits. Looks like I need to start thinking about plan B. I can not change my GPA from 20 years ago, the only thing I can do is continue...

The 600 includes incomplete applications of those who did not complete the minimum requirements. They did not give the numbers of the qualified applicants which I am assuming is much lower. I too am nervous since my cumulative GPA is not great, but...

Yes, approximately 74 for traditional day program and 24 for the eHealth program. I believe during the info session they mentioned they receive about 600 applications each year.

I decided to reread last years thread and when they called admission or the nursing department they were also told late April or early May so I think that is a standard response. No point in calling because they don't give out any helpful information...
