Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

Published

Hi everyone!

I am applying to the ADN programs at Palomar and Mira Costa for Fall 2021. I wanted to make this for other students who are also applying! Share any info you'd like. 

Hey @ctrujillo IDK! I'm worried they're going to send us an email any day now telling us that they're going to postpone us until Jan 2022. IDK how many people didn't get clinical spots but to have that whole faq page I assume it must have been enough to be concerning. Hopefully it gets worked out over the Summer, or something!

Does anyone know how the two programs compare? I know that MiraCosta is more selective based off of how many they admit per cohort compared to Palomar, but what about quality of the programs, clinicals, professors, job prospects after graduation, etc.? I do not know anyone in the MiraCosta program, so I have no inside knowledge.

I emailed mira costa to see if they had an idea what the top 20 applicant’s points were For this admission cycle. This was the response. I will follow up next week and post it here too.

Woah, that's high! Hopefully Palomar's average will be a bit lower.

I emailed (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) if cohort size would be reduced etc due to Covid and if that would impact how many people would be admitted. All she told me was that she'd send out notifications in mid-April ? @Jr2536 I'm counting on you to share any info you can squeeze out LOL.

Knowing all the info won’t increase your chances of being accepted. It’s out of your hands now. Best thing you can do is keep yourself busy until you hear back ?

I work at one of the clinical sites. Loads of students from several schools have come through during the current semester. No problems here!

Oh, that's good to know! Lets hope the cohort size is the same for this semester. ??

I heard from the counselor that they have received over 500 applicants. My point was 79.  I also applied to Golden West with 97 points.   Good luck everyone.

It sounds like everyones more concerned about Mira Costa but I honestly am leaning more towards the Palomar program since the accept more students. But if Mira Costa received that many applications I'm sure Palomar received about the same ?
