I called and talked to the nursing department the other day and they said you need to have 16-18 points to walk right in (I have 15). Can you please confirm?
Thanks!!

I didn't "walk" right in...far from it.

I first applied to Saddleback's program in 2005. Long story short, 25% of their applicants are accepted based on their lottery. 75% come in based off their points system. I got in off the lottery, obviously. I have several friends in the program who had straight A's in their science pre-reqs & they were only admitted as alternate candidates.
Good luck to you!
