   Shmooptydoop replied to LoveQuartz515's topic in School Programs

   Just got a SCC acceptance email to the ADN program for fall! This was my 3rd attempt (for nursing schools in general; so 3 semesters worth of applying) and I'm so happy I get to stay local. Good luck to the rest of you!

   Alternate #38. Is there somewhere I can see the last alternates accepted for previous semesters? It doesn't show in the applicant pool stats link; just how many declined/were ineligible. Like I know for spring '18 it was the 15th alternate, but I don...

   Nope...I'm practically frothing at the mouth to get those damn preliminary stats!

   How soon after the application period closed did you guys get a rough estimate from the program about the point cutoffs? Thanks for offering to answer questions!

   I hear what you're saying and took issue with this change as well. However, I went to one of the new criteria advising sessions to ask about this change and to explain why I thought it was unfair and had my mind changed. Essentially, a LOT of the peo...

   Adjusted Nursing GPA: 4.0 (50 pts) Unadjusted: 3.86 (1 repeat) TEAS: 94.0% (23 pts) Optional: 100+ hrs healthcare experience (4 pts) So 77 total.

   That's fair. I agree that even with a really good score by any metric in previous semesters it's scary to think that it still might not be good enough for the upcoming one simply because we've yet to see how the new criteria will affect applicant eli...

    No, you're right; my comment was a bit rude. I guess I just see people coming in to these threads with very high point scores/competitiveness and stating their concerns about admission and it seems a little hokey to me; like it's a little bit of a hu...

    Your point totals are higher than the average accepted applicant in each category for the program for every semester since it's inception, including the massively spiked recent Spring '18, and you're worried about not getting in? Lol okay

    84 points based on the old criteria though. That would probably equate to about 68-70 for the new criteria. I think your point range will absolutely qualify you. I'm going to be applying with 77 points and I'm pretty confident I'll get in with that. ...

    No, there is no penalty for omitting a grade, so you definitely should! Point totals are the first line of filtration for acceptance and only when there is a tie will they then look at the non-adjusted GPA's of applicants as a tie-breaker (and if eve...

    Shmooptydoop replied to bruin2014's topic in School Programs

    My question is why is the change occurring in the first place? I guess I take issue with it because I see the biggest advantage to this new format being heavily favored towards students who have done poorer in their pre-reqs/co-reqs than anything els...
