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! ?

My friend and I said the same thing. It sounds so heartless. Shes sending an email back to them petitioning for a better resolution other than wasting the last 5 months of waiting for nothing.

Maybe we should all send emails!

I already sent mine! This is what she said:

“I am sorry that we had to put our RN program on pause for the Fall 2020. You are welcome to reapply for our next intake of students. We are hoping that will be Spring 2021.”

I never applied for Fall 2020 because I wasn't ready for the TEAS. I plan to apply for Fall 2021 once the application comes out.

There is a thread I created for Fall 2021, but so far only one person has responded. I am concerned it will be WAY more competitive than it already is b/c the school was closed for so long. I am a little nervous!

[Bella28]

Yea.  I’m applying everywhere now. All over California.  Northern and southern.  I have to accomplish this goal ASAP.

Good for you. I missed the deadlines for most CA schools (I think). I am limited on budget so it narrows down the schools I can apply to. I am going to TRY and not work through nursing school.

I know it’s VERY competitive/impacted. They used to only accept 20 students but now they accept around 40 students, so we have a pretty good chance of getting in ?

Hello where did you get the information that they accept 40 students from?
