1. Golden West vs. Saddleback

   maddybee replied to maddybee's topic in California

   Hi Cathering, Congrats on getting accepted! I have not regretted my decision about choosing Saddleback since I started the program. I'm now in 3rd semester and love it! And yes, I'm pretty sure every school allows recordings and smartphones these da...

2. Golden West vs. Saddleback

   maddybee replied to maddybee's topic in California

   Hi Sherry, As far as I know each school started with 10 students (maybe a little more/less) doing the CSUF dual enrollment program this semester. I think this was a sort of trial semester and they may decide to accept more/less in following semesters...

   Sackemper, Congrats on getting accepted. I LOVE Saddleback! All the professors want you to succeed and really help you learn. I've never felt uncomfortable, or like I was being pushed too hard. Plus, Saddleback gets way more hands on experience early...

4. CSULB or Saddleback College??

   maddybee replied to cmd4's topic in California

   Hello! Did you find out if you got in to CSULB? I was in the same boat as you 6 months ago. You may have already made your decision, but I'll give my input just in case. I got accepted to Saddleback for this Fall, and CSULB was my other choice, b...

   maddybee replied to maddybee's topic in California

   Hi snowprincess, It took me 3 tries to get in and I have straight A's in my prereqs (although I did drop physio once so that might've made a difference). But when I first applied, there were twice as many applicants as there were on my 3rd round of a...

   Thank you! I'll be doing clinicals at Hoag this semester, and I'm really excited about it. I volunteered there and loved it. I applied to Cypress too because that's where I live for right now, but I didn't get in. Are you actually in the RN program? ...

8. Anyone applying at Saddleback college?

   maddybee replied to veronica77's topic in California

   I'm really excited about Hoag too, especially because I volunteered there and am familiar with it. Although, I've been talking to my hubby and it would almost be better for me to go to someplace like Orange Coast instead since it's a lot closer to me...

   Thanks whybrat! I feel really lucky! I just got home from meeting with ---- at Saddleback, and I got my schedule and everything. I'll be going to Hoag Th/F. I'm so excited, and I totally agree that I would be crazy to turn this down. I just have to r...

    maddybee replied to veronica77's topic in California

    Thanks whybrat! That's great you got in to Saddleback. I have heard so many great things about saddleback too, which is why it would be hard to give up a spot if I am offered one. Plus, just knowing that they only accept the best students is a defini...

    maddybee replied to maddybee's topic in California

    dread090, how many days a week were you at school during your first semester at Saddleback? I'm going to the orientation in 2 weeks so I'll find out more then, but I want to get any idea of how many days I'll have to make the drive to campus since it...

14. Anyone applying at Saddleback college?

    maddybee replied to veronica77's topic in California

    I was accepted to GWC for fall 2011, and on the alternate list for Saddleback. I've gone through everything I need for GWC, and Saddleback just sent me a letter saying I'm now #2 on the alternate list. If I am still interested in going to Saddleback ...

    maddybee replied to maddybee's topic in California

    Thanks for the tips! I know nursing school isn't going to be cake, and I'm willing to put the effort in. But it's nice to know that it won't make a difference what school you graduated from. I'm still leaning towards GWC because right now I live in C...
