O.K. I just got my letter! I have been accepted into the fall program. Orientation is May 19. Can't wait! So, who else is in? :)
Congrats to all of you, I graduated from MCC in May 09...When we were accepted, we were able to find out our ranking from the registration department when we went to pay our acceptance deposit. I'd ranked #41, which would have made me an October start, but I contacted Terri (the nursing dept secretary) and mentioned I was interested in starting in August if possible...sure enough, there we a few people who would have been slated for August but chose to start in January because they still had to finish Micro, or wanted to wait for financial reasons, and I was able to start in August.
Enjoy your summer...you are about to embark on the most hectic and stressful two years of your life. That said, you will learn SO much at Macomb, it seriously is one of the best nursing programs around...I have worked with nurses that graduated from 4yr programs that did not understand the rationale for so many things that was considered basic knowledge at Macomb.

I second this congrats! I also ranked 41! (I am finishing my first year at MCC right now). I agree with this post very much, you will learn a ton! Don't get intimidated by what you hear, I have worked my butt off but it has been worth it the entire time! The instructors are amazing and I can't believe how far I have come since last August (I think I was shaking when I walked into my first class!).
Good luck to all of you and I will see you in the halls next year!
I got my letter wednesday April 28th. My fiance' called me and gave me the good news. I broke down. I called my sister (who graduated from Macomb's Nursing program) and told her " your little brother is going to be like you in two years!" I will see all you guys on the 19th I will be the guy with the smile ear to ear!!!!!!!!

The letter says they took 159 for the program but it did not state how many alternates were chosen.
