Cypress College Point System for ADN acceptance

U.S.A. California

Published

I'm trying to find out how Cypress College grades their candidates for their ADN program. If I have taken the general ed classes and passes with a B or better and have an A in Anatomy, Micro, and Physiology, then am I an automatic shoe-in? I understand there's 25 points possible, but how is it broken down? Do I have to take the classes at Cypress for a better score?

hey caligirl how long did it take you to get into the cypress nursing? and if i finish my prerequisite by next spring, then that means i have to apply in september of fall to get into the program in spring right?

I got in right away. I would leave my options open and apply to all the schools!

oh and BTW Canales has a terrible rating. she is very hard people say haha no point of wasting my summer goin so far to a hard teacher but thanks for the recommendation :)

She is not hard at all. You just have to do the work. She gives you the test before the test and you just gotta find the answers (work as a group). Up to you but I didn't find the class difficult at all.

Golden West College (right up the street from Cypress) offers a summer Micro class. Make sure you get Miller...he's awesome. It's 8 hrs a day, 4 days a week for 8 weeks. I got an A.

don't put all your bets on one school. apply to Santa Ana, Golden West, Saddleback, Cerritos, Long Beach City College, CSULB, CSUF, and many others in the LA/OC area.

I went to GWC, they have a lottery system on acceptance, so everyone is treated equally. It was a tough program. I heard Cypress was easy compared to GWC. Cypress does have a higher NCLEX passing rate for 07/08 though. Saddleback is supposed to have great program as well. If you go to LBCC, Long Beach Memorial offers scholarships if you sign on to work with them after graduation. It's a guaranteed job. Long Beach Memorial doesn't hire new grads outside of CSULB and LBCC.

good luck with your nursing career, pray thay you won't have a hard time finding a job like all the new grads today when you graduate.

To deliverator,

Do you happen to have more information on the scholarships that Long Beach Memorial offers?

Also, would you know anything about LBCC's transfer program(LBCC to CSULB)?

Thanks a bunch!

for thoes of you who attended GWC, cypress or saddleback... how much math do you need during the program?

Can you use calculators?

I heard that you have to get 100% on each calculations test or you have to repeat the quarter. Is that true?
