I definitely do. They “strongly” recommend it in their profile for applicants. 5/6 people interviewing in my group had either healthcare experience by means of employment or volunteer hours. I’ll also say that while their interview questions are not directly asking about your personal experience working in healthcare/with patients, I think it was very beneficial for us to be able to answer questions by telling stories of our experiences working with patients, under doctors, beside nurses, etc.

(Accepted) Prerequisite GPA was 4.0, last 60 units GPA was 3.86, cumulative GPA was low and floated around 3.0-3.2 depending on if they counted my original grades for some classes I retook. Over 2,000 hours working as a CNA at a magnet hospital in the area as well as solid letters of recommendation. I felt very confident in my admissions essay. As for the interview, I feel like I had a couple hiccups but overall was able to show them who I was and what I had to offer. Hope this helps.

Found out this morning that I was accepted into my #1 choice program here in California. Just emailed Regis forfeiting my spot in their cohort for the Spring. Hope this gives hope to whoever is on the waitlist! Best of luck everyone.

Congrats everyone!! I was just accepted as well!

Nothing here yet.

I’m in the exact same boat as you, LOL. Hoping we hear back before the deposit is due. Edit: Just saw your post about Regis being your other school! I was also accepted into Regis’ program in Denver LOL!

Just heard back from Regis. I got in! My stats were cum 3.0, last 60 units 3.86, science prerequisites 4.0, just shy of 1.5 years CNA experience. Hope this inspires some with lower cumulative GPAs to apply and give it their best. Edit: I received my acceptance notification via phone call. It is one gentleman calling all 100 people individually, so expect it may take some time.

Did Cody call you or send you an email?

Haven’t heard anything yet either. Fingers crossed!

Nothing yet.

Thanks for the information!

Quick question: was it also about 6 people in your group as well?

Thanks everybody for the updates. You didn't have to, and its very much appreciated. Good luck everyone.

Nothing here just yet.

@CBShiro I was thinking the same thing, but I don't know how to make sure the photo is just 600 pixels and the email seems pretty strict on formatting. Oh well, probably overthinking it, LOL.
