Cabrillo College Fall 2018

MurseJay · Mar 7, 2018

Hey Rachel + anyone else out there who may have been accepted to Cabrillo College for Fall 2018!

I've been accepted and this is one of my first choices, so I'm definitely excited to have gotten in. Looking forward to connecting with anyone else out there who will be starting in Fall 2018.

This has been a tough but exciting journey thus far!

Would you like to tell me about yourself and your journey? I've conquered a lot to get to this place and it's such a great feeling! Have you taken the TEAS already?

Do you know much about Cabrillo and its program? I've done all my prerequisites at Hartnell and I'm not familiar with Cabrillo other than the counseling office. Haha.

Yes I totally understand how you feel. I've gone through so much these last 2 years to get to this point and I'm very proud to get to this point and have finally been accepted.

I have taken the TEAS already and scored an 88% - I didn't feel that it was too difficult, but def had to reach into the high school English archives to remember some grammar terms and rules! Lol

I'm not too familiar with Cabrillo's program but I've read as much as I can on their website about what we need to do next.

That's cool you went to Hartnell for your prerequisites, I grew up and went to high school in Salinas so I know people who went there as well. I was thinking of applying to that program but Cabrillo is closer to me since I live in San Jose..

How funny, I got an 88% too. I did great on all the sections except English. It was strangely difficult for me to grasp some concepts. I'm a great writer, I get straight A's on all my papers. I just could get down the names of words in a sentence and I thought the questions were weird.

It's a bummer we have to wait until May to take orientation. I've heard great things about Cabrillos program and I'm still torn on whether to go to Hartnell or Cabrillo. But, I'll know for sure by the end of this month. I've accepted the seat at Cabrillo, but I'm glad I have time to give it up if I decide on Hartnell.

Yeah I've heard great things about Cabrillo too, and feel really lucky to have gotten a seat. It's a very well respected program in the Bay Area so that's a great plus.

So you'll find out from Hartnell by the end of March if you get in there too?

I also applied to SFCC and I'll find out within two weeks or so by mail if I got into that program as well. I'm pretty set on Cabrillo though, because I know it's a great school with a great reputation.

Hi guys! I graduated from Cabrillo's program in 2015. If you are looking for other classmates, check to see if the general cabrillo nursing Facebook group still exists. That was how a lot of people met their cohort before the program and started their own private groups. I'm off Facebook now but it's probably still there. If you can, it's nice to meet and get to know one another before the semester begins, because once it does you hit the ground running.

If you have any other specific questions, LMK. And congrats!

I've just been accepted into Cabrillos nursing program that starts in January! If anyone here has attended or is a current student could you give any advice/tips for me before I start? and also how your experience was/is in the program. Thank you!!

Congratulations! I graduated from there in 2015 . The program and some of the teachers have changed but I can give you some general tips. First of all, try to get your life organized so that you can really focus on school once you start. Everyone needs a different amt of study time per week and most of us underestimated how much time we needed! So figure out childcare and work schedules.

youll have a math test w drug calculations very early on. If you struggle w math start early. Calc w confidence I think is the book they recommend.

Theres a massive amount of info so don’t try to study much before you start. Enjoy your family and free time while you can! I’m pretty sure the theory course still starts with l&d though if you really want to get a head start.

Also, there is a Facebook group that you can buy books and connect with former, current and future students. Some of my cohort connected before the semester began and it was nice to already know people when the semester started because you will hit the ground running.

Good luck! :)

Anyone has gotten accepted for Spring 2020 from Cabrillo College? I got in and was wondering how the program works and such such as times classes and clinical's.

I also got accepted at Cabrillo and Hartnell and also Mission college, this was my first year applying after finishing my prerequisites, I dropped mission due to having to do LVN first. Also it is hard to decide with so many choices but I decided on Cabrillo at the end. Im sure you will see what fits you best. Good luck.
