I decided to make this post to connect with others who will be applying to Mt. Sac's program for the Spring of 2019. After calculating my points for the multicriteria screening I'm currently at 52 points before the Hesi. I'm scheduled to take the Hesi on the 31st. Really hoping to end up with 77-80 points, I've read that the cutoff is usually around 77 points so I'm praying that will be the case this year as well. Although I saw a comment on the Fall 2018 thread & someone got in with 72 points as an alternate. I'll also be applying to Chaffey, San Bernardino Valley & Western Governors University.
Hi guys. So I went to last's weeks info session and they told us the lowest point for the last application session was 68 points! Hopefully it stayed the same.

Hello! Thanks for sharing this info with us. Lowest points people applied with or lowest points people got in with? That seems awfully low for Mt. Sac.
Hello Smc_17. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Yes! I am happy to say I am ready to go back to Nursing School. I have been completing my application package and had to study for the TEAS VI exam. I am applying to a Forsyth Tech ADN Spring 2019, in NC. My points are very competitive at this time. I will know in a few weeks. I applied for Mt. SAC Nursing in 2016. The process seems identical. At the time the High points were 94 and cut off was 73. I had 73, Yikes! I originally made spot #84. Mt. SAC accepts the 60 highest applicants and 30 alternates. After my counseling apt was alternate #26. I thought I had absolutely no hope. But I was invited to orientation and told to come no matter what, because there are many applicants that do not show up or accept other programs. So I made it through 5 days of orientation not knowing my status until the last day. At the end of last orientation day everyone gets their official acceptance and medical evaluation form etc. I was given alternate #6 at that time. I was so excited! About 2 weeks before the program started I was officially offered a seat!! Best day ever!
Hi Bangle. No worries about responding late. Congrats on applying to a new school and wishing you luck on getting in which I am sure you will with no problem. Can I ask when you had your counseling appointment if they told you what number you were or if they were vague about what position you were in the program. Thanks for responding.
I really think you should call to clarify where you are in terms of points to see where you are even if it isn't your first choice. Good luck!
I think I just might. I don't want to put all my eggs into one basket. I just think its So weird because I have all the documentation to have 72 points.

Yea. It's always good to have a back up, just in case. I called about my points but they wouldn't tell me but I think if you explain your situation they can give you more information.
You know what, I just remembered why it was so low. It was due to the fact that many applicants didn't submit the correct documents, didn't upload all their transcripts, or they weren't in pdf file. They said they would try to make a video on how to correctly submit documents for future applicants.

Oh that totally makes sense!
68 for Mt. Sac is surprising.
I uploaded everything in PDF & was able to open it from both my desktop & laptop so hopefully that isn't the issue for me.
Also I just called & was informed that they are still sending emails. By the end of this week all qualified candidates (100) should receive emails. They couldn't tell me anything more.
Hey everyone, I went to my counseling appointment today and she did not disclose any information on how many applicants there were, lowest points or ranking. She even said "why would I disclose that information?" It took about 30 mins for her to just check if everything looked okay.
