Finger Lakes Community College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

FLCC's Viticulture and Wine Technology program offers optional, transfer-ready enology and viticulture tracks specifically designed to prepare students for upper-level coursework at four-year schools like Cornell University, taught at a dedicated Viticulture and Wine Center inside the Cornell Agriculture and Food Technology Park in Geneva, NY. If transferring into a four-year wine science program is the goal, declare one of these two specific tracks early rather than completing the general AAS, since the specialized coursework is what aligns with upper-division requirements elsewhere.

FLCC offers three separate admission pathways into its AAS Nursing program: a points/TEAS pathway for students with existing college credit, a Health Care Studies direct-entry pathway (18 specific credit hours plus math and biology with a B or higher) for students with fewer than 12 college credits, and an Accelerated Entry pathway for current LPNs using the NLN Foundations of Nursing Exam instead of the TEAS. Identify which pathway actually fits your current academic standing rather than assuming the standard points/TEAS route is the only option.

A C- is acceptable in most required nursing-sequence courses, but FLCC explicitly does not accept a C- in BIO 171 (Anatomy & Physiology I) specifically. If you earn a C- in that one course, don't assume it clears the bar the way it would in other required classes - consider retaking it.

FLCC explicitly states that working in the healthcare field does not increase an applicant's chances of admission under its point system, even though many applicants assume clinical experience is inherently rewarded. Your limited additional effort is better spent maximizing TEAS performance and earning a B- or better on the first attempt in bonus-point-eligible courses than accumulating healthcare work hours for the application itself.
