Hello everyone! I wanted to start a thread for those of us applying to the nursing program at Grossmont College for the Fall 2019 semester. This will be my third time, yes I said it, third time applying! I am a veteran at this now, so feel free to ask me any questions. The first time I applied with a 76, the second time I applied with an 81, and this time I will hopefully be applying with 83-88 points depending on if they take my retake for Microbiology. I have done everything and anything to increase my points, and I am hoping that this time is my time (third time's a charm)! How many points do you guys think you have? I look forward to hearing from all of you, and good luck to us all!

Feel so bummed that i perhaps wasn't picked. I been wanting to retake at least anatomy to aim for an A this time since I have a B but it states that they cant be taken again before 5 years or so.
Hey Vals_scrublife!
I just wanted to come back and let you know that you were right. Anything after 5 years gets cleared, so your stuck with the 1st attempt until those 5 years are up. I know it's not the best news, but I just wanted to clear it up with you.
They took my retake for micro and I was accepted with an 88. (For future students looking at points.)
Same here!! If I was given all of my points, I was at 86 points! I checked every box! CNA, second language, 4.0 GE gpa, 3.0 science prereq gpa, associates degree, 120 volunteer hours, and 5 points for life experience points. I think that was my saving grace!!!! I was able to get points for everything! For those that didn’t get in this round, so whatever you can to get more points!! Y’all got this! Good luck to you next cohort!
Hey all congrats to all those who got in... So I'm a nervous alternate for the southwestern program.... Someone suggested I come on here and see how many people that were accepted to grossmont were also accepted to southwestern and declined? Any info is greatly appreciated. I am a nervous reck
