Just posting this here to help applicants to Valencia College (in Central Florida) track where they stand in comparison to other applicants.
There is a total of 85 points possible, with the new civic literacy exam point added for entrance into the program (there used to be 84 points). I spoke with an advisor at the school and they said that typically they have over 500 applicants and only accept around 120. They said sometimes they see applicants with Cs and Bs and they generally do not get in.
I currently have 84/85 points after my prerequisites and the TEAS. Straight As in the prerequisites. Apparently, that puts me in a very good position (so the advisor said) and there is a good chance of being accepted at this point range. Good luck to you all. Hope we get what we apply for! We did not come all this way to give up! I’m, personally, going for the nights and weekends track (part-time) because I work full-time and take care of a disabled wife. Crossing my fingers. I just put my application in for the Spring semester on Friday!
Below is a PDF of the new program guide, including the requirements for acceptance. They accept students based on number of points. If any two of more students tie for points, they go with the student with the higher GPA (though I’m unsure if they only use program GPA or overall GPA for every course you’ve ever taken).
Yes. Thursday marks 6 weeks. And registration begins next week, I believe; but it doesn’t look like anyone has received notice one way or the other, yet. They are cutting it close this semester, it seems. Hopefully we hear something in the next couple of days. They sure know how to drive people nuts, though.
I saw someone on Reddit got in with 81 pts, for nights/weekends, and they are in the concurrent program with UCF. Hoping to hear tomorrow or Thursday. ?
Well today was the end of the six weeks. If I hear nothing tomorrow, I’ll have to give them a call. I saw on Reddit again that most people haven’t received a response. Only one person, it seems, and they had 81 pts and applied for nights and weekends concurrent with UCF.
I am honestly unsure of the probability. What number of points did you have? Average for last semester for nights and weekends, I believe, was 79. So if you’re at that or just below it, you may have a chance of getting in; but if your average was in the low 70s, I spoke to some people with those kinds of scores who said that they were passed over last semester. Still, good luck, and hopefully someone declines their seat so you can get in. I looked on Reddit and there were quite a few that were waitlisted, unfortunately. I would look at other options, if your points are low seventies.
Hello!! I also got accepted to the evening/weekends program for Spring! I accepted on the Google forms but haven't heard anything yet. I guess they'll send out the email about orientation next week? Did anyone receive it yet?
