El Centro College Spring 2019

Published

Hi guys,

i wanted to make a forum for all of the 2019 applicants. I wanted to know what everybody was going to apply with and if they knew anything about the school still being in academic probation? Also does anybody know if the school accepts the Hep A and Hep B shows that are 1 month apart?

Specializes in ICU.

I believe I have 35pts - I took all the support courses and ART 1303 as my humanities course (not sure if that counts as humanities as it is also on the BSN list) and calculated my prerequisite GPA which is 3.4-3.7 (I took intro to psych 2 times and don't know if they will take my A or B, I made an A the second time I took it) I made 11pts on the HESI. So with those two factors I believe my score to be 31-35pts. If anyone knows anything about the humanties classes please share. Thank you!

You will get 1 point for the humanities and 1 point for the bsn course.

40+ pts gives you a very good chance of being accepted. Most people have in the 30s and it just depends where the cut off is that year. They pick the top 40 for each school. Points in the 20s are more risky. If you haven't completed all the classes suggested, keep taking classes that way you don't waste time if you aren't accepted the first time.

So it seems as though it's come to the point where the support courses are/should be essentially mandatory for any prospective student who wants to have a real chance of getting into the program. Either you have an excellent HESI score or you've made all A's and B's on the pre-reqs and 95% of the support courses listed or you don't stand a chance of getting in to the program.

This is just a bit of me airing out my frustrations, but I mean, if they have set a minimum score for the HESI (80) on each section, then why don't they include it in the paperwork that if you don't have ____ points at the time of applying, then don't move forward and take more courses until you reach that set point.

Does anyone know the recent pass rate? I heard the first part of the probation year was 83%. I was told the second half would be known this month.

At one of the last info sessions the dean mentioned something about 80%-83% for the most recent pass rate.

Top 60, not 40, get into both campuses so 120 total.

I also applied, and will be applying to MV too. Which is where I prefer to attend. Good luck everyone.

Hi, I applied to the spring 19 Lvn to rn program with 19 points. I just moved from Louisiana and I'm looking to start school soon. Do you guys know about how many people are usually accepted to the program? I haven't seen many threads on here about the Lvn to rn program

Does anyone know if they are going to be considering the applications from fall 2018 applicants for the spring 2019 semester or did they have to reapply?

I applied for Fall 2018. It was SentryMD then it's now Castle Branch for Spring 2019. I never heard officially, but I'm thinking everyone had to reapply.
