College of the Desert application for Fall 2014 Spring 2015

Published

Has anyone applied to College of the Desert for the Fall 2015 / Spring 2015 application period for the ADN program? I'm curious as College of the Desert told me they had more than 400 applicants, and they didn't know how smoothly the selection process is going to go; now that there is only one application period per year, the TEAS should be taken before applying, and the implementation of the multicriteria screening and ranking process. I have applied 6 times - hopefully I get in this time :-)

I'll definitely say a prayer for you! Good luck and keep us posted! Xx

Thank you so much, Mum! I can't tell you how "trying" this pursuit of nursing has been, your prayers are definitely welcomed! Actually the reason I posted on this site initially, was to connect with individuals who are also on this journey. Mission accomplished, even though there doesn't seem to be many COD nursing hopefuls out there. Hence the name I chose for this site "journey2nursing" - it has been a true journey, I just hope I can take the next step SOON! Keep pushing forward though, if you want it enough I know it'll happen :-) I'll keep this thread updated with any news I have!

Thanks! Yes, its nice to know that I still have that to fall back on. I would just much rather go to COD.

It is nice to have options! But, I completely understand how you feel! Fingers crossed for all of us who want COD!

As if the waiting wasn't difficult enough... COD just redacted their previous update of informing us that we'll get notification "late May", to this:

[h=2]CURRENT ITEMS OF INTEREST.[/h][h=2]5-15-2014: Information concerning the Fall and Spring RN class groups for next year have not been sent yet. Evaluators are still reviewing applications. We anticipate emails/letters to be sent in June.[/h]

ugh... the waiting commences

I know! It's posted on their ADN page under "Current Items of Interest". Why then did they change it to May, then switch back? Messing with my head :-)

I guess they sent emails to everyone to get into Pasadena. I didn't receive an email, but that's ok. So this is the second school that had random selection that I missed. I better not go to Vegas.LOL. I crapped out!!

I'm so sorry to hear that! Awful! I know the sinking feeling of that kind of rejection after putting in so much work for a passionate goal. All I can say is, keep your head up and keep your eyes on the prize! Since we have the same points maybe we'll start COD together! No Vegas for me either!

LOVE the positive attitude! I'm seeing Rocky run those famous stairs! You've got it- scrubs and all! One day (far into the future) we'll be looking back laughing and patting ourselves on the back for sticking with it.
