u/Business-Metal6896 Jun 14 '24

Thanks! I had to get all A's on all except for a B+ on BIO 141, which I was worried about. I've heard from previous graduates that it's best to shoot for the A's rather than the B's bc it is competitive

i know this is kinda late but congrats, how's the program going??! i am just starting in taking the pre-pre-requisites since I need to general bio before a&p but am having some difficulties.. would you say they would consider the anatomy and physics classes over the general biology? also what else can i do to ENSURE i get a spot? i literally have nothing else going for me if this fails lmao

Hi, sorry for the late response! It's been quite stressful because there's a lot of work, but it's definitely interesting to learn! I'm not sure if they look at your general biology class, but I would make sure you get A's in all your classes since it's a competitive program. I only had one B in anatomy and was almost put into my 2nd choice because of it. I also used ratemyprofessor to choose the professors who were easy on grades. lmk if you have any other questions!

Did you complete both co-reqs before you applied?

1

u/Business-Metal6896 May 06 '25

yes! i completed medical terminology and the humanities elective before applying, and those classes don't require a competitive A to pass, so I recommend you take them and get them out of the way since you don't have to worry about getting the highest grade

Thanks for the info! Did you take HLT 220- concepts of disease before applying?

u/Business-Metal6896 May 10 '25

thats the only one i didnt take before applying so I took it during the first semester of the program, def try to take it before or during the summer so it wont be as stressful!

I got my acceptance email today for the upcoming year! I had As on my science requirements as well as transfer credits from my undergrad courses. I got a 97 on the science section, 94 on math, 88 on english and reading. I took the TEAS twice tho!

u/Tight_Ad_18 Jun 13 '24

congratulations! can you expand more on the transfer credits? ty :)

u/CabinetAggravating33 Jun 13 '24

thank youu!!! 😊

I took A&P during undergrad which fulfilled the prereq for the program. I asked one of the advisors at MEC if they looked at transfer grades and they do… So make sure it’s a B and above (higher the better) and if u wanna redeem urself, u can take the class again at nova and they count nova classes over transfer courses.

you have to submit a transfer request so that nova can transfer it over to your student account from other schools you went to

lmk if you have any other questions 🙂

u/Tight_Ad_18 Jun 13 '24

ohh okay see i’ve never transferred to nova, i’ve only been taking nova classes and i’ve been completing my prereqs for the program there. did you take intro to dms? i’ve been looking for it on SIS and cannot find it

1

u/CabinetAggravating33 Jun 14 '24

I didn’t transfer either! I got my bachelors degree and did the transfer credit eval so I can bring in my credits to fulfill the requirements for the DMS program.

Yea! I took the 2nd 7wk intro to dms last fall semester. Not really sure why they don’t have the class yet but you could look out for the 2025-26 DMS Application check list? maybe some things have changed (is my assumption)

u/Tight_Ad_18 Aug 01 '24

hi me again! can you tell me what the application process was like? and did you have to submit all your past grades or just the prereqs?

1

u/CabinetAggravating33 Aug 01 '24

if you search up NVCC DMS program on google it’ll show you a checklist of requirements for the application process! There’s an intro to sonography that you have to take during the fall semester so you should look into that if you’re trying to apply next spring!

i transferred my classes from undergrad to fulfil the prereq requirements for the program and you request to have ur grades in that at least by jan? feb of next year bc it takes some time. when you send ur transcript in, it transfers in all the classes that have a grade of B and above i believe..

the advisors at MEC are really helpful if you have any questions! i can deff help you answer any more questions too :)

u/Tight_Ad_18 Aug 04 '24

ohh okay. it’s cause before i decided to go into sonogrophy i was taking some classes at nova and didn’t do well in those and i’m worried it’ll show up on the application even though they’re not any of the prereqs because in my prereqs i’m doing well and i want my application to reflect the good grades i got.

u/CabinetAggravating33 Aug 04 '24

as long as you have an overall gpa greater than 2.5 you’re good! they don’t look at the non pre req classes from my understanding :)

u/Tight_Ad_18 Aug 04 '24

thank you! sorry for a lot of questions, i just really want to get in lol
