Malcolm X College ADN Program - Fall 2025 Applicants: Let's Connect!

Hi everyone!

I'm applying to the ADN program at Malcolm X College for Fall 2025, and I thought it would be helpful to start a thread to connect with other students who are applying as well. I'm currently working on completing my medical requirements through CastleBranch and preparing to take the ATI TEAS exam soon. I'd love to hear where everyone else is in the process and if you have any tips or advice to share. I've also been wondering what factors really help candidates stand out during the admissions process. For example, does having healthcare experience—like working as a CNA or medical assistant—make a big difference in how applications are evaluated? Or, does being bilingual help strengthen your application and increase your chances of getting in?

If you've already applied or been accepted in the past, it would be great to hear what you think helped your application stand out. For those of you who are still working on your requirements, feel free to share what you've completed so far and how you're preparing for the TEAS exam.

Let's use this thread to support each other and share insights as we work through the application process. I'm excited to hear from everyone and hope we can all navigate this journey together. Good luck to all future nurses applying for Fall 2025!

Hello everyone:)

I am currently awaiting a decision as well. I have applied to both ADN & LPN programs. Last semester I made the mistake of only applying to the ADN and was received a rejection. I have taken all of my pre-requisites and have completed the BNA course. I took my TEAS in October of 2024. I have been marked viable candidate for ADN since February 26th and have been marked viable candidate for LPN as of last week. From my experience last semester just keep checking your 'Selective Application' portal in CCC under 'Academic Records'. From what I have heard is the earlier your documents and application is completed the higher the chance you have of being accepted. I don't believe that is for everyone but it may be priority. 

Good luck future nurses!! 

Hi! 

We're in the same boat for sure. I have done all my pre-reqs + co-reqs and I took my TEAS back in November. I believe that taking it so close to the Spring deadline caused me to get the director's denial, so this time I'm hoping to be picked since all I had to do this time around was re-submit my application. 
 
Good luck to you and everyone as well!!

Similar situation. I only applied to the ADN last semester and didn't get a seat. Last semester I applied the first week of September and had all my documents in, but was still waiting to take the CNA licensing exam. I think it's because I  didn't get my CNA license until around October 5th. I keep checking my portal, hoping for an update. I applied at midnight on January 6th (as soon as it opened) and had all my documents in the same day. My account was marked as a Viable candidate on February 10th. I've been checking my selective application status every couple of hours since the 21st LOL. Hopefully, we all get an acceptance letter this time. 

I have hope this time around for everyone and especially those who applied last semester and got the director's denial! We got this! 

Anybody get an update to there selective application page.

Nothing yet.

Nope. Nothing yet. Anxiety through the roof though?

Nothing has changed yet as of this morning. 

I have been checking the Nursing 101 classes to see how many people have registered. Only 3 people have registered and they probably are from last application cycle. So I believe they aren't finished reviewing yet. Which is crazy because I did research through the other cycles and they usually start sending out offers a week after the application deadline ends. Also from what I saw the LPN students begin receiving offers first. But they haven't gotten offers yet either I think. But it's 32 seats in each class and there are 8 class options!! So let's all have some hope!!

Thanks for sharing this, and doing the research.

Yeah I think I better chill. Checking 5 times a min isn't gonna help me out. But let me ask the forum a question, just to gauge opinion. I applied for the Spring 25' and got in but couldn't attend due to work constraints. I emailed them this to this if I can be deferred for the fall but they said just reapply for fall because they do not do deferment. My thing is I hope they don't think I ws not taking it serious after I literally applied every year since 2020. Should I be nervous or I am overthinking it. I am quitting my full time job this year btw.
