Of course! Also, I don't know if you're already receiving financial aid from NU or not. If you're not, just be aware that they take a VERY long time. I submitted my FAFSA in January, got accepted in June and started in October and my financial aid wa...

I believe so; however, there are a few caveats. Many people in my cohort were relying on financial aid and student loans (federal) to get them through school. The $6400 on top of the $1746 for the first class used up all of their financial aid and fo...

My understanding is that instead of charging the tuition increase per class so that you pay more each month, they calculated how much the increase would be per year and charged it as one whole fee. They say that the increase came out to the $6400 we’...

I believe they select alternates with every cohort, but I don’t know if any alternates actually became primaries with our group. Because of the tuition increase, they offered our cohort the option to defer to cohort 61 so there is a possibility some ...

I honestly don’t know. The $250 fee is due before pre-orientation, but they never mentioned the $6,000 fee being due at a certain time. Personally, my financial aid hasn’t been processed yet so I can’t tell you what it does and doesn’t cover. I belie...

Hey! Yes, we did receive an email explaining that they have increased their tuition and fees. Tuition has increased by $18 per unit, which they estimate comes out to about an extra $415 per class. As for “orientation”, you pay a $250 fee before pre-o...

Not a problem! My personal stats are: GPA: 3.75 TEAS: 94.0 And here are the averages for the accepted students for cohort 60: GPA: 3.75 Essay: 4.15 TEAS: 88.19 Average Total: 89.33 Cutoff: 85.8667 Let me know if you have any other questions!

Congratulations everyone!!! I can’t wait to meet you all and get started!

I hope everybody's essays and exams went well! How long does it take to hear back regarding acceptance/rejection? I know the timeline they gave in the forum said 1.5 months, but I saw 4 weeks somewhere else. Do we get notified through our SOAR portal...

@Daybreak Won you said there are 5 core classes? I was told there were only 4? Anatomy, physiology, micro and bio stats.

Did anyone else notice that they pushed the application deadline back another week? I just checked my portal and saw that it's 4/26 now. @lilppr I really just reviewed my A&P 1/2 notes and powerpoints from my classes. I took it a year and a half...

Congrats! Was it as bad as you thought it would be? What is your math/science GPA? My stats: GPA: 3.75 TEAS: 94% If I calculated correctly, I think I have 75.1 points without the essay. I think the cutoff for cohort 57 or 58 was 85.47 (that's what I ...

That's interesting, I hadn't heard anything about that. I have read about the essay portion having some personal prompts. My advisor said that it was intended to check your writing skills, but also your personality to determine if you're a good candi...

Hi Dusty! I actually just submitted my application last night after my final grade posted. I took the TEAS last year so I just need to prepare for the essay portion. Good luck!!! SDSU was actually a very relaxed, no-pressure environment when I took t...

Hi! I'm also applying for the October 2019 cohort! Nice to meet everyone!

Hi! I know this is an older post, but I'm in the same boat as you! I'm waiting to hear back from Palomar for spring 2019 admission, but SDSU for fall 2019 is my first choice, as well

Thank you so much for posting that! It definitely helps to hear from someone who has been through the process. How are you liking the Palomar program? Can you give any insight into what to expect?

I was told that Grossmont had more than twice as many applicants as they normally do so people who would've gotten in no problem for any other cohort were rejected.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! I applied before with 78 points, too and didn't get in. I have 80 now and I'm reapplying. I'm working on my CNA in case I don't get in. I have all of the credits needed for a general studies degree, I just need...

Sent!

Did you make notes of when notifications went out, too? I know Grossmont and Mira Costa are pretty early. I think September - October timeframe? But I'm not sure about Palomar.

I didn't even try to apply to Mira Costa because I knew I wouldn't get in. For Palomar, I've heard of people getting in at 78-79 points on the last round. That was for this fall, though and spring semester isn't supposed to be as competitive. I appli...

Hey everyone! I'm applying to Palomar and Grossmont for Spring 2019, too. By my calculations, I have 80 points. Does anyone know what the point cut off was in previous semesters for these programs? I think it was 87 for Mira Costa for the last applic...

For those of you that applied to Palomar, did you include your humanities class on your application? I'm planning to take one in the fall but have all of my pre-requisites done so I just put "In Progress" on my application. I tried calling and emaili...

Hi all! I'm looking for some advice. I just got rejected from nursing school. I have a 3.9 GPA (one B in my GE's and the rest are A's), I scored a 94 on my TEAS and have volunteer experience plus those "life experience" points. I have over 10 years o...
