Hey guys, I've been considering Miami Dade College as one of my options after graduating. Does anyone here know what the acceptance rate is, and what kind of GPA/test scores they generally look for in successful applicants?
Miami Dade College is an open-admission institution, which means that it accepts all applicants who have a high school diploma or GED, regardless of their GPA or test scores. Open admission colleges typically don't require submission of standardized test scores such as the SAT or ACT, and there's no set GPA that applicants need to have to be admitted.
While the admission process is less competitive, keep in mind that individual programs within the college, such as nursing or other healthcare-related majors, might have additional requirements or a separate application process which could be more competitive. Therefore, it's essential to check the specific program you're interested in for any extra requirements or prerequisites.
Lastly, although the admission to the college itself is open, your high school GPA and any college credits or dual-enrollment classes taken during high school could still play a significant role in scholarship opportunities and placement in classes. Good luck with your decision!
