Fall 2020 College of the Desert

[Sheroe]

Hi All! ?

I just wanted to start a thread for those trying to apply to College of the Desert for Fall 2020. At this point, all that's left for me is to take the TEAS, double check that my science classes will be accepted and that they'll accept my communications class. I'm nervous and excited all at once! Any tips or advice people have heard about the program? Any other random information or tid bits that people know about the program is welcome too! ?

I applied to cod last semester. This semester I applied here and valley. Have you applied anywhere else?

I applied to Copper Mountain College last fall but my math 40 was old, so I am retaking it this semester.

I am sorry. I was rejected my first semester applying! Hopefully you will get in here.

Hello all, I’m extremely new to this platform (as in I just signed up 20 minutes ago) but I’ve frequently been on this website for information over the last few years! I applied for the Fall 2020 RN program as well and am just praying for a miracle. I applied with 55 points which is relatively low compared to you all, but I have a back up plan of getting my CNA certificate to better my chances if rejected. God willing it doesn’t come to that. I live all the way in Northern California so I would be super new to the area but I’m exceedingly driven to get into a program which is why I applied here! The deadline to submit was extended to yesterday so I guess we will just be anxiously waiting on decisions now! Good luck to literally everyone that has applied!!

Good luck!! ?

Does anyone know when we’ll receive notification of acceptance or denial?

Hi! I am also applying with low points. Like you said, doesn't hurt to try. Good luck!

Hello does anyone know how long it will take until they send out notifications?

@Alyssamckinney I called A&R today and they told me that they weren’t able to give me an exact date but they said that it usually takes them a couple of weeks. They said *maybe* mid June.
