Hi! Good luck to everyone who applied for Spring 2017! I just wanted to start a thread for those of us anxiously awaiting to hear back. I will be applying to Mira Costa and Palomar, as well as SDCCD and southwestern later in the year. How many points does everyone thing they had? From what I've read, it seems like most cohorts hear back in mid-late September. I wish everyone the best!

I created a new thread for those that applied to MiraCosta and/or Palomar for fall 2017. Also, If anyone is in either program now I would love to hear your thoughts/experience! I've calculated 85-86pts

Hi all! I'm thrilled that I was accepted for fall 2017! I was wondering if anyone has the schedule of classes for spring cohort so I can get an idea of the class order and schedule? Just trying to get an idea of how to prepare. Is there anything you wish you'd known before starting? Thanks so much!
Congrats! I would logon to webadvisor and pull up the spring 2017 courses. You can find all the courses for every semester under the student handbook: Student Handbook on pg 15. Semester one is NURS 118, 119, and 120. The schedule varies depending on your choice. If it is set up just like spring, you have the choice to have classes mon,wed,fri for the first month. Then it switches to just monday and friday with a clinical day on either wednesday or thursday. Or you can take the mon,tues,weds,fri for the first month. Then it changes to monday,tuesday, and friday with clinical on either weds or thurs. You don't really get to choose your clinical day. I personally liked the first option because after the first month, I had 2 days during the week to study. Other people liked the second option because they didn't have to stay at school all day on mondays. It is entirely your preference.
Anything I wish I had known before starting- that the pre-class assignments are not turned in for a grade. Still do them to the best of your ability because they will help prepare you for your exams and they guide you on what exactly to read. I spent hours working on them before the semester started, and all they do is glance at them. Also, you are going to be given a list of meds to look over at orientation. Complete the list, but dont stress about learning them during summer. You will learn all about them in your pharm class (118, 119).

I think I had 74 pts. They dont tell you and it is different every year, obviously depending on who else applies, but I hope this helps. When do you find out?
