Hello everyone, so I just received an E-mail from MT sac and I was selected as a Candidate and now I have to set up an appointment with a Nursing counselor to confirm all my information including transcripts etc.
Here is the email in quotes
"Dear Applicant,
You have been selected as a candidate for the Nursing Program at Mt. San
Antonio College. You now need to make a Counseling Appointment in our
counseling center. The counseling center is in the student services
building (9B on the map) and they are located on the second floor. To make
your appointment you will call the counseling center at (909)274-4380. It
is very important that you identify yourself as a student candidate for the
nursing program. The appointments will begin on March 31, 2015 and end on
April 30, 2015. Your appointment will be with one of the following
counselors or educational advisors:
This is a verification appointment and you need to have official copies of
all of your transcripts with you when you come to your appointment. If you
have earned credits at Mt. SAC we do not need an official copy of this
transcript. You must also show proof of high school graduation or the
equivalent. If you have previously earned a degree (associate's or
bachelor's), and the degree is posted to your transcript, you will not need
to show proof of high school graduation. You will also need to show proof
of eligibility to enroll in MATH 71 Intermediate Algebra. Completion of a
higher-level math course will also meet this requirement. If you have
specific questions before your appointment you may contact the nursing
educational advisor, Kathleen Clarke, at [email protected].
If your transcripts are verified, you will be notified if you will be
accepted to the Fall 2015 semester.
Sincerely,
Mt. San Antonio Nursing Program"
now my question is has anyone else received this letter? Does this mean IM pretty much in the Nursing program???? Im so anxious .anyone else?
Thank you,
-Steve
Hey all,
I personally was stating what the counselor told me herself. I was talking about the list of candidates the counselor showed me herself which showed where everybody stood as far as points. And yes, the counselor does verify all forms submitted. They obviously don't tell you that you are in, but they do give you an estimate of what your chances are of possibly getting accepted in regards to whether your points are competitive enough. Well the counselor I saw did discuss that with me. Anyways, good luck to you all í ½í¸ƒ.
I concur with lizy01. I also spoke to K Clark (the main point of contact) and verified there is indeed a list of 120. They will pick the top 60 and the possibility of an alternate. There is no wait list with the point system. You are given your number on that list and told where you stand and the statistical probability of getting in or not. In May they will know the confirmed 60 spots and send letters of acceptance or not.
I had my appointment last week and I have 70 points. I wasn't advised for sure of anything other than my points added up and where I stood out of the 120 people who were sent the email. I was told it is hard to tell for the people who are borderline because even though there are people with higher points some of them choose other schools, and some never make an appointment with a counselor which has to be done by April 30th. The first week of May the top 60 who got their transcripts verified will be sent an email to take a background check. There again some people have already chosen other schools so they move further down the list. Then the top 60 who pass background are offered a spot in the program and the counselor said even at that point some people decline or just don't reply. She didn't say how many alternates are chosen.

I just met with a counselor this past thursday 4/2. I don't know where people are getting the idea of this list; the reason for the point system is to eliminate a list of any type. When I met with my counselor I was only her second candidate she had met with. The reason for these appointments is to verify all the aforementioned documents in the email, GPA, math eligibility, and etc. When I asked her if there was an average for those accepted she had stated that they still do not have an average.Being that people may be over estimating their GPA, and or not providing substantial proof to add to their points. If it makes anyone feel any better she also stated there were NO candidates with a 4.0. I am thinking the above people were given their number in the order in which they were seen per their appointment. The counselor did say we may hear back from the program mid May with an official acceptance/alternate letter.
