Golden West College Spring 2020

[JunieBee]

Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I was wondering if any pre-nursing students will be applying to the Golden West College ADN program this June for Spring 2020. If so, can you please share your experience as well as how many points you are applying with? Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the feedback @Codeine. I didn’t see you post your info on this thread. Are you already in nursing school or applying this semester?

I finally took my TEAS yesterday, and I didn't do as well as I needed to (I was hoping to at least get a 90 but got an 85). I should have either 74 points or 76 depending on whether they count my statistics class. The admissions office said they should, but you never know with these things. Based on the last few years, I don't think my points are high enough. Either way, I am dropping my application off today. Good luck to you all!

Don't feel bad lol I was hoping for a 90 as well but got an 82.7 and I was reading 2018 spring semester golden west nursing group's thread and the lowest person who actually got accepted got a 71. Honestly it all depends on what every one else got in points for for this spring 2020s semester application. I know the response will probably go out during the 2nd week of August. So best of luck!

Thank you @Jprez93 for the positive attitude and sharing your situation. Are you applying anywhere else?

I'm applying to Cypress and Saddleback as well. I know their applications are due in September so there's a couple of months still left for those. But Golden West is my top choice. I hope my 78 points are enough to get in but if worse comes to shove I'll be ready with my apps for the other two schools. How about you? Are you applying anywhere else?

[Nina97, BSN, RN]

You will definitely get in with 78 points. I honestly didn't take the classes needed to attend the other nursing schools aside from CSULB and Goldenwest. I realize how dumb that was now, but I had over 80 points with the old criteria for the last 2 years, so I never considered they would change it this much. That being said, I am going to retake the TEAS to boost my score for Long Beach, since they do allow you to retake it and hope for the best.

[Jprez93]

Oh wow I didn't know they allowed you to re-take the TEAS. I was told it's only allowed once per year but that's great then! Yeah I would do the same in your situation to have one more option. I honestly hope you can get into CSULB, I've heard it's one of the toughest schools to get into if you don't already have a license. Any ways best of luck! Hopefully you get 90+ on your next attempt.

I applied for fall. Didnt get in. I had 76 points and they took alternate at 78 ? so reapplied for spring. I took pharma and the other classes but we'll see how it goes. ?

[brandi737]

The cut off last semester was 81points (I believe) on first admitted students and lowest of 78 points for some alternates. And I was also told you have to wait a year to retake the TEAS. Best of luck everyone.
