Saddleback/Santa Ana Programs?

U.S.A. California

Published

Hello,

I'm new to this board, and I'm desperate to get into a nursing program in orange county or la! I've been on the wait list for santa ana college since Oct08; started low 700s now moved to high 600s on their waitlist. And I've been waiting for my acceptance/rejection letter from saddleback - but still have not heard from them. Does anyone happen to have any advice or tips on these programs?

About how long does one stay on the waitlist for santa ana college before they are admitted??

Any help would be really really appreciated - thank you!

hi! im a newbie in here, i just want to ask if i have all A's in my science pre-requisite, but my last semester GPA is 3.45 what are my chances of getting in to Saddleback RN program?

A 3.45 at Saddleback will probably put you in the lottery group.

Hi Apgar10! thanks for your reply, i appreciated it. although my last semester gpa is 3.45, my science prereqs are 4.0. Im planning to apply next year (feb) for fall 2010, but im not sure if i will be able to get in to their program by fall 2010..

I missed that bit, so you do have a good shot... hopefully there aren't 100 more of you out there ;) You should apply to Golden West too since it's in the area and a lottery school. You might get lucky and get a choice.

Im planning to apply in Golden West too, but i read from the previous thread that the instructors from the rn progam in golden west are quite scary. Is that true? and uhm.. do you know what color is their uniform? i just want to know.:specs:

I don't know about the instructors. Don't really care about that since getting in and getting done is the goal :). I think GWC wears navy blue. I'm going to Cerritos starting in Spring and we have to wear WHITE. Ugh.
