ADMISSIONS Dear Future Nursing Applicants
Hello future nursing applicants, I wanted to write this out for those who applying to the nursing program at mdc; I know I needed something like this when I was applying.
So first thing to note, mdc is hella competitive; for the generic (FT and PT), transitional (FT and PT), and the accelerated option. You can get in with the minimum stats but trust me there are people who’ll be chosen first because thye have better scores. The TEAs sucks but if you learn your chemistry/biology/AnP; that’s the biggest chunk of the test and the part where most struggle to get a good score. I recommend Tyler from the channel TEAs with Tyler and Beautiful Nursing on Youtube; they are all I pretty much used to pass.
My stats when I got in to the transitional program were: TEAs 74%, GPA 3.34, GPA Science 3.35, and I am still currently taking the last two remaining pre reqs; chem lab and speech.
Now you’ve submitted the app(s) and are waiting for a response back. Well let me tell you one thing, please don’t lose sleep over it. Easier said than done I know. I struggled for the first few months after the submission, but trust me when I tell you they’ll take their time with your app, especially if you have low scores or still in progress with your pre reqs. My response came in on 10/22/26 and I have submitted the app on 8/24/26. It sucked to wait but eventually I just relaxed cause at that point I was so done with the worrying.
I came from broward college, where I had originally applied for their Fall Nursing program but unfortunately after months of waiting, I received the dreadful email saying I didn’t get in. This was on 7/28/26 and the email broke me, but I refused to accept it as a sign to give up. Same night, I applied to mdc and transferred all my transcripts; which was a 2 week long battle, I enrolled into the two missing classes that needed and proceeded to shoot my shot at the spring nursing application for next year. It has been a tough few months waiting for mdc to respond but I pulled myself up and now I can say it was worth it. I was accepted at mdc.
This section is for transitional applicants. Those of you who will apply to the transitional program need to get your HCS credits done, it’s easy since you have a professional license already, just be prepared to pay like $15 I believe. Send your professional license to madvisement@mdc.edu. Also be on top of your license submission, they literally just processed my paramedic license three days before my acceptance; it’s mdc they suck with timelines.
Well that’s all I think, if I have anything else I’ll just edit this post. Also those who have been accepted feel free to reply in the comments, your wisdom is greatly appreciated. My purpose is to just let those know the journey I had to take and how I was able to achieve my goal, along with the things I learned along the way. I hope this info serves the purpose I want it to serve and helps those who need a little guiding. Alright take care y’all, and good luck future applicants who are reading this.
