American River College ADN Spring 2020

Published

Hi, everyone! Today (9/3/19) is the first day applications can be sent in at ARC in Los Rios Colleges for Spring 2020. I haven't seen a thread for it yet and thought I'd start one as I just turned in my online application. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for sharing the number from the last day! And now the most excruciating wait begins! Hopefully by Thanksgiving we’ll have our answers!

Hi Everyone ?

Last fall I was notified on 11/29. That was about a week past the deadline. The delay was due to the campus being closed down because of smoke from the Camp Fire. Hopefully we will find out before Thanksgiving break. This is the 4th time I’ve applied to ARC.

Good luck!!

Hey guys!

I’m a first semester student at ARC. To answer some questions posted: they take 40 students a semester. If you’re an alternate, but do not get chosen, you’re not automatically in for the following semester, you still have to reapply (really sucky). For our cohort, they went all the way through the 15 alternates originally selected (I was one of them ?) and then chose another 15 alternates from people they had already sent rejection letters too. Not sure how many were pulled from the second alternate list. The faculty let us know at our orientation that there were more than 500 qualified applicants for the fall cohort. They used to list the statistics of how many applied and how many were chosen every semester, but they haven’t done that in a year or more. If you apply more than once, they don’t throw your name in twice (like they also used to do), you always have the same chances of getting in.

Good luck guys! I know the wait is excruciating, I did it 3 times before finally getting in. Hang in there!

It’s not bad at all. We have seminar on campus every Tuesday for 5 hours, clinical Thursday/Friday (6am-3ish), and every third or fourth Monday, we have testing at school from 7:30-9ish.

Oh wow! Do you have any lectures online or is everything covered on Tuesday’s?

No lectures online. Obviously lots of homework and studying, but that’s to be expected. They expect us to teach ourselves a lot of the information. The seminars are just to guide us in our studying. Just because we only have class 3 days a week typically does not mean we have a lot of free time. We all probably study 40-50 hours a week outside of class

That’s really good to know. Good luck with the rest of the semester, thank you! ?
