Golden West College (GWC) ADN Fall 2023

Updated:   Published

Hey!  It might be a little early to start this, given that applications aren't open yet, but I noticed that the multi-criteria points system was updated in September 2022.  I thought I remembered being in better shape when I looked at the old points system in past semesters ? so I was curious to hear from anyone else who is planning to apply and see where we all stand.  

I haven't taken the TEAS yet, but not including my TEAS score I have 56 points so far, and I'll have a max of 81 depending on my score.

I don't think they will for this cycle. My CNA cert was expired and I wasn't able to get it renewed in time so I ended up apply to GWC with 57 points. I was an alternate at Rio hondo for Summer start and they recently offered me a position but I declined since I hadn't started working on the packet. I didn't think I was going to finish by the deadline. I was denied from LBCC and Santa Ana. How about you? 

I got denied for LBCC, Citrus College, and MiraCosta. I got accepted at Mt. Sac. I'm really grateful I got in there. Goldenwest is close to my house though so I'd like to stay close if I can. I have 76 points at Golden West so I doubt I will get in. Too many people with 85 points and above out there!

You have a good chance! Their criteria is different now and 65+ is considered decent I'm sure. And they're accepting 90-100 this cycle.

One of the counselors told me she's sure I'll be in and I have 68. The new criteria threw a lot of people down in terms of pts. Thank you so much but same to you! I got into SAC and saddleback but went with SAC so far.

I have 60. Is that good enough?

Who knows at this point right? I think because they changed the multi criteria it's hard to say what the cut off is going to be.

Hi! Any updates from anyone? I applied with 68 points and no email yet ?

No updates on my end yet. I think we should for sure know by the first week of June. Hopefully sooner. Sometimes they are late sending out notifications.

I had 80 points on the old grid, but down to 70 with the new one. I might even go down to 68 if they don't count my critical thinking course. I still haven't received an email, but someone in the program told me she didn't get her email until closer to May 31 last year. I am so annoyed they changed it like that. Hoping that since we're all in the same situation, I will still be competitive. I would have had more points for my degree, but I didn't get it in time. Ugh, I am so stressed waiting to see what happens! I feel like my whole life is on hold LOL.

I have 68 points too and I would say my stats are decent. I got into Santa Ana and saddleback. Praying gwc takes us for fall 2023! We got this ??
