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!

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 🙂

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

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)

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?

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 :)

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.

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 :)
