I applied for Fall 2019, have not heard anything back yet!

Thank you for replying! I'm anxiously waiting haha I thought they've sent out emails already.

No worries. Hoping for the best! Will notifications be send via email?

mermaid0828 · Apr 18, 2019

Yeah I believe they will be sending through email! Best of luck

Btw, does anyone know if the admission selection has concluded? I know that they were offering lottery spots for the applicants that didn’t get selected through multi criteria. Wondering if they finished doing so already

I emailed the nursing dept and they responded this morning saying all admissions for multi-criteria point selection and lottery have concluded. I was a bit frustrated that no notification was sent to those not chosen. They posted on the website that applicants would be emailed with their application points. It's as if they just left people in the dark...

I see, thank you!

I kind of expected too that they would email that the admissions have concluded, and I kept checking the website if anything changed. But they sent you an email with your points, right?

No I did not get an email with my points ?

Angela at the Nursing Dept is super helpful. Just call her

Main Numbers: (415) 457-8811 / (415) 883-2211

and she will be able to let you know how many points you were awarded.

It is my understanding that the passing rate in 2018 and in 2019 as well was 77 points. Those who scored less may still be offered a place in the program if someone did not accept their spot.

For example, I scored 69, was not initially selected, but received a "congratulations... you have been selected..." email today, which I assume means that my lottery number was high enough to "pull me out of the hat", so to speak. They give only 3 days to respond!

Do not lose hope, as someone may pull out at the last moment, and who knows, you may be that lucky person to be offered a spot. Have all your paperwork ready: valid CPR certificate and immunization records with all required immunizations completed.

Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you...

Hi all, I am currently looking to transfer into nursing programs around California in Spring 2020. Does anyone know if COM has Spring acceptances?

College of Marin selects only one cohort per year, starting classes in August. No lottery, points system.

Santa Rosa Junior College - selects students to start their program in August and January. Lottery only.

There are private schools too, for example Pacific Union College accepts three cohorts per year (quarter semesters). GPA has to be 3.6+ or higher to transfer.

Logistically community colleges might be easier to transfer to. Websites are usually quite self explanatory. It is a lot of information, best of luck!
