I am the 4th alternate, but I already accepted a spot in Saddlebacks program, so everyone 5+ will be moving up on the list. Congrats everybody!

@hhalkens I replied on submittable and got the zoom invite! If you don’t get the link today, emailing them tomorrow morning seems like a good idea.

@stephdecosta you never known! The past two times I applied it just went straight from in progress to denied, so don’t make any assumptions until you know for sure! What are your points like?

My application status just changed to “completed”. What the heck does that mean?? There’s no message or anything. Has anyone else seen a change yet? Edit: I got in!! Yay!

Hey sorry for the late response; the points range for the last app period was 90.5 - 103 points!

@lumborum according to the website, the cutoff was 83, but some people from the waitlist who had 80-82 points also got in. I think they took that info down after changing the multi-criteria points. I’m not sure how the new points system will affect things. I talked to a counselor and she didn’t know either.

@axel_123I’m also going to apply at Santa Ana college, but that’s it for right now. I would prefer saddleback ??

Also applying! bachelors degree - 5 Work experience (EMT) - 15 Science GPA (3.4) - 20 nursing courses (all) - 20 life experience - 3 TEAS (93.3%) - 25 total: 88 points hopefully it’s enough! I’ve been nervous about it since they changed the points!

Not sure. I got As in everything except a B in anatomy and a B in Physio. But I got an A in pharm, psych, lifecycle 1+2, math, and comm. oh and an A in micro. But they don’t actually give extra points for having As in the coreqs. And I talked to a councilor about my app and am confident that all my points were totaled correctly. I know last application period the cut off was 81 points, so I’d be really surprised if it went down. I bet you’re selling yourself short! Congrats on getting in!

I would bet you had more than you think, because I had 78 points and didn't get in. (I have a Bachelors degree so 5 points, EMT license so 5 more, 3.4 prereq GPA for 20 points, 20 points for completing all of the nursing classes we can do, 3 points for life experience, and 93.3% on the TEAS for 25 points)

@tkd72 I'm in the same boat as you. My app was marked as completed around march 1... today I sent in a new transcript with 15 more units of A, and I'm wondering if that will go toward my first evaluation? This is all so stressful ? hopefully we hear something soon

At this rate I’m going to have updated transcripts before I get my eval... I’ll be done with 15 more units in 2 weeks.

Im still waiting!! At this rate I’m going to have updated transcripts and a higher GPA to send in before I get my evaluation.

Yeah I got my rejection an hour ago too. Last name R.

I wonder if they’re going alphabetically or by submission date maybe? What’s the first letter of your last name, and when did you submit your app?
