Rio Hondo ADN Nursing Program

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi everyone,

I currently go to Mt. Sac at the moment and will finish all my ADN pre-requistes for Rio Hondo this summer. As for the selection criteria they use overall, I feel that my application will be highly competitive. However, my definition of competitiveness is probably different from others. I was wondering for anyone who currently attends or previously attended the ADN program at Rio Hondo to state your applicant profile (overall GPA, science GPA, volunteer hours, any previous degree, and experience). Thanks, it would help me and many others who are hopeful in entering the ADN program at Rio Hondo College. :)

getterrod: PCC send out emails October 17th. Both for alternates and those students accepted.

George_Y: Yeah you should have recieved an email by now..Rio said they were sending out letters mid November???

Hi Davidz0rs, so you already found out for RIO??? I will call tomorrow then. I was waiting on the letter to come in the mail!

Yeah they lady at Rio Hondo was kind enough to tell me I was in the alternate list. Are you sure that the emails sent out from PCC are for Generic ADN students and not LVN to RN or something?

just to make sure we're talking about the same thing... its the ADN program at rio hondo college right? but yea i got mine around halloween. they said i had until the 9th to accept and if i didn't then my application would get discarded. i also have to show up tues. for my teas..... i didn't think i had to take it so soon ... so i'm not prepared at all.

Yes the ADN at Rio Hondo. Congrats on your acceptance..Do you think they've notified everyone who got accepted? or are they still undergoing the selection process? I feel like I still have a chance. what were your stats when you applied btw?

Thank you! I'm not completely sure what you mean by my stats... but if you mean grade.. I got A's in all the science preqs. and overall gpa was 3.53. I also got points for volunteer work, MA cert. and I wrote that paper thing to try and get the special circumstances point. No I don't think they have notified everyone. They are probably trying to see who is serious about the program because they could decide to go to another school. The location for the teas doesn't seem large enough take have everyone test at the same time as well. I would only worry if you received a rejection letter. Good luck though!

Hi all,

I recently got accepted into Rio Hondo's spring semeseter ADN program as an alternate with B's in all my science classes, a 3.0 GPA, and about 8 months experience as a CNA. I don't speak a second language, but I do have an Associates degree in Health Sciences. I hope this gives encouragement to those who are looking at getting into the program.

Hi, my friend is trying to get in to the program and shes worried that she has no chance because of her science grades. she got a c in anatomy and b in physio and a b in micro. she has volunteer experience and an associates and a cna licence but hasnt used it for work experience yet. shes is bilingual and is a single mother (for the special circumstances points). in your opinion does she still have a chance to get in? Thank you in advance for your help!
