Goldenwest 2014 ADN Program

Published

I just mailed away my application for the 2014 ADN program and I was curious from past students what a competitive amount of points is. I have 89/100 because I am not a vet, do not speak another language, and was advanced on the TEAS test (not exemplary). I know from attending the Cypress College orientation that everyone who got in there this past application period, and some of waitlist, had 30/30 points, but GWC does not have a live orientation so I can't really gauge their numbers. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, everything but pharm, I'm worried now. The application says its recommended, the prereq form says required. I wanna start in fall, but if I need pharm, I have to take it in the summer and its available at the time were going to be in the transition course...I hope I can take the online pharm course with the transition class...

Knexx yes I took last summer. Taking stats right now to get it out of the way also. You've taken public speaking right?

Do they have pharma online? They accepted you knowing that you haven't taken it so you should be ok. Call them or ask them when you drop off ur CPR and tb test.

Yup. That's a lot of school. 8-3 for the transition course, 525-915 for critical thinking.... you'lll be there all day long!

Oh and did you get that email today from ---------------? I called the counselor line to make an appointment, first the lady said," there are no appointments till fall." I quoted the email which stated to let them know I was accepted in the bridge program then was put on hold for 5 minutes. She comes back and says that I just need to do walk-in counseling...

I still need to talk to the transition teacher about the time conflict, pharmacology teacher said she's OK as long as I can take the exams.

Hi everyone,

I have a question for those of you who got accepted in GWC. Do I need to take chem at all? How about algebra? I haven't taken any prerequisites except psycholog

The main prerequisites are college level English, microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. Chemistry nor pharmacology is a required prerequisite as of right now. Pharm. Used to be required but they changed it. It is not implimented into the program.

As for math I'm not to sure but I did take college algebra and stats. If you haven't taken college algebra , I would recommend taking it.
