Anyone applying at Saddleback college?

Rwkrystal · Mar 3, 2010

Hi there! I applied to Saddleback for Fall '10 as well....

I too have a 4.0 but I still wonder if I will get in? I am starting to worry!!

It just seems so competitive. I wish you the best of luck, all who are applying

now!

I think you guys with 4.0 are definitely in. I have 15 pts. 3.9 GPA and 2 A's and a B in my pre-req... kind of scary I do have a bachelors degree already so I have the core classes complete but as far as points go, this program is crazy competitive I just hope I get in. Hope to see you all there in the fall!!!

Hi guys!! I just don't know about a 4.0 getting in there! Malefocker...I'm so glad you say you think that's enough...I wonder if they do actually look at Bachelors degree, etc.(seems like they would and they will be in June for sure) I have taken the speech and pharmacology and all core nursing classes except the human growth and development classes which I am taking right now at Goldenwest. I am also taking Math 30 right now and I know that it will be required (like the other schools) for June 2010 apps. I just want to get in this application period sooo bad!! It does seem so crazy that 2 A's 1 B and 3.9 is 15 points! its so crazy that other schools are only taking apps once a year....I hope we ALL get good news in May...I'm glad this site can help us pass time while we wait:)

If you have a 4.0 that means that you have all A's in your pre-reqs right? So if that is the case then you have 18 points which is the highest points you can get. So if you don't get in we are all in trouble!!! :) If you got all A's in Anatomy, Physiology and Micro and you have a 4.0 I don't see how there is anyway that you wouldn't get in. I want to get in so bad this fall as well. I wonder if being a male carries any weight?

Rwkrystal · Mar 16, 2010

Haha!! Yes, "A" in Anatomy, Physio, Micro, etc etc...! The hard part is this waiting. And then ofcourse, the let ndown if we don't get in this time!!!!

I think your bachelors and being male will help you(kind of a minority!!!) I met a guy in my pharmacology class

that had been accepted to GWC and he said he thought it had helped!!:) Have you already taken TEAS?

Ummm if being male helps you get into nursing school, then I smell a lawsuit. Can't do that in a public school system. Equal opportunity.

Ummmm...excellent point.

Malefocker, BSN, RN · Mar 18, 2010

If you got A's in micro, phys, and anatomy... I would say 100% you are in. There is no one that will be able to score better than you. Anyway no I haven't taken the teas... and I read that in case of a tie they will first give priority to people who have completed the core classes and then to an underrepresented population in the nursing community (men?) But I don't know I am hoping that my 15 points is good enough to get me in. I haven't taken the teas... signed up for them taking them in the middle of April. The 17th I think. Anyway it is nice to talk to someone is going through the same process goodluck... Although I am sure you don't need it.

Malefocker, BSN, RN · May 3, 2010

Has anyone received their letters for the Fall 2010 program? It's crazy, I have made it the last few months without thinking about it but these last few days are killing me. I'm curious, do they mail the letters out on the 15th or will we receive notice by the 15th?

Malefocker, BSN, RN · May 12, 2010

I am assuming that we will get them any day now!!! I will let you know as soon as I hear anything from the school. I was thinking about calling them.. but didn't. Hopefully they mailed the letters out and we will hear tomorrow I don't want to wait till Monday. Good luck everyone!
