Hi I was just wondering if anyone is applying to saddleback college for spring 07. We can share our thoughts and make the waiting a little more pleasant.In my case is going to be the longest of my life !!!!

Do you know someone allready accepted in the program or how many people actually get in with A's and also B's ? Or they really just accept straight A's?

Did anyone apply for fall 2011?

I have applied for Fall 2011 Nursing Program. In talking with the school counselor the point range was from the high 60's - 90 points. He also mentioned that every application period would have a different range, but that the qualifying points will probably get higher as time goes on. He suggested that I try to work toward the mid 70's for having a better chance of getting into the program.

I applied as well. I calculated 80 pts.

Hello all,

It's my 1st time posting as I am interested in Saddleback's nursing program. I was so excited about working towards the program, but reading this thread freaked me out in terms of how competitive it is. Now I am thinking that perhaps I shouldn't even bother.

I do have few questions though....assuming you don't get in..what then? I mean taking so many courses and not getting in means that you should be looking into other school or can you re-apply? If you can re-apply, would you have a better chance to get in later or they don't care? Can you re-apply 10 times and still not get in?

I mean I would hate to go to school again (recent grad from UCI's Social Science school but an old transfer from Saddleback) spend the $$ all over again for education and then end up not getting admitted into the nursing program.....that's would really **** me off. So I am super freaked out and unsure as to wethr or not I should be looking into other nursing schools? Are all the schools in so. cali. this competitive or are there CC's who take you in assuming you do alright on your courses?

P.S. My overall UCI GPA is 3.33 but Saddleback's trnasfer GPA sucks....will Saddleback look at my cumulative GPA from 10 years ago (Saddleback) OR will they just look at my new science courses only? Will my UCI 3.33 help?

Any advice would be appreciated...

hayasa- to answer some of your questions....I applied to several nursing schools. It looks like you qualify for the absn programs. You should definitely apply to several absn, traditional bsn, and adn programs. Your UCI gpa is completely normal and great! As long as you can complete all the prereq classes with a high gpa you shouldn't have a problem getting admitted! Maybe take a CNA or EMT class for good measure. Good luck! I really think you have a shot for getting into ns so don't worry!

Wow I can't believe they mailed out the letters already! Hopefully, you'll hear good news in the future

I called the school. They told me decisions have not yet been made. Letters should go out next week. Hmmm..strange that you already got a letter.

Sorry New RN....I was talking about Golden Wsst College...have not heard anything about Saddleback. Saddleback is my first choice, but I am upset I did not make it into GW. Nice to have choices. =)

I am still waiting an answer from saddleback college. people that are applying for this fall 2011, what is your total point? I am so dissapointed that they give just 2 points for volunteering! Hope we get a response by the 15th ....

I also applied for the fall of 2011 at Saddleback College's Nursing Dept. I have 74 points on the application. Anyone one else wanna share? I'm just wondering if thats competitive.

I also heard from others that we wont find out if we get in the program until the end of May now, instead of by the 15th.

I HAVE 70, I believe my score is very low because Saddeleback is very competitive!
