I'm starting this thread for those of us that applied to MiraCosta and/or Palomar's Fall 2017 ADN cohorts! Please share your stats/points and any insight on either program if you have any :).
I calculated 85/86 pts depending on life credits. I scored 88 on the TEAS 6, 3.6 science, 4.0 gen eds. I'm also an Emt, worked at a hospital, and have an AA degree.
I know MiraCosta only takes 20 and I believe Palomar is 36. I did almost all of my pre-reqs through MCC and I've been told It has been really impacted the last few cycles. 85-89 was the point range for spring 2017 at mcc! I'll be happy to get into either but Im not sure on the major differences between the two programs.
Good luck to everyone, I'll be anxiously waiting the next 4-6 weeks! 😬
I'm still hoping Palomar will send out the first round of emails this week haha!! The last two cohorts started finding out within 6 weeks and a couple days (oct 12th and April 12th). I think they tell everyone late April because that's when they hope to have all of the acceptances sent out by. It looks like they send out the first round, wait for people to accept/deny and then send out more. I believe their orientation is also in May, a lot earlier then Mcc's in July. The waiting continues!
@maxsancheese, sorry to hear you didn't get into Mcc, hopefully you will get into Palomar. If grossmont is an option for you I think you can get into their program with your points, sdccd as well. A CNA or an Emt class is also good to have either way. I have been both a CNA and an Emt. I took SD city's Emt class at the Miramar campus last summer. It was only 8 weeks and definitely worth it :), the program is also run by a seasoned er nurse and paramedic with 20-30+ years of experience.
hello I received an email from the lady she said the letters will go out the last week of april/may first week. She said they are behind.
