Congrats @HaloNursing!! ? I also got an acceptance! Still debating whether or not I'll go to saddleback or GWC (but I don't hear back from GWC until mid-September). I'll see those who got in during zoom orientation next week tho!! Take care everyone.

@Jacq will do! I've been feeling so anxious/excited; the website says notifications are sent out after about a month so there's still some time left. Are any of you working as CNAs? I'm looking for a company/organization and would love to hear of a recommendation ?

Hello everyone! I just finished submitting my application last night. I applied with 82 pts! AA = 2pts Work exp = 0 pts (I have my CNA license but never worked LOL) Science GPA = 30 pts Relevant Nursing coursework = 20 pts Life exp = 3 pts Language = 2 pts TEAS = 25pts Hopefully there aren't too many applicants applying with work experience, but I can see it happening since it adds a good chunk of points haha Good luck to everyone! ?

@sweet_bread_crumbs thank you, I really appreciate it! 86 pts is really great too, congratulations! Now the waiting process begins. I'm just hoping I attached all my documents correctly LOL

Hello everyone! It's nice to virtually meet everyone who is applying for the upcoming cycle. I will be applying with 94 points! GWC is my top choice since it's close to home haha I wish everyone best of luck! ?

@Adrian Cuevas I would guess that GWC would require official scores sent to them once you are accepted, and will be fine with the documentation you have so far ? And regarding you second question, if you have sent over your UCI transcript to GWC, your courses should have been evaluated and some of those courses will have equivalencies to GWC courses (they will be in your Unofficial Transcripts on MyCoast). However, if you have a BA/BS, I am sure they will waive your course if you have taken a similar Critical English course at UCI. I wouldn't worry! @ZottingStudent I still have to take the TEAS next week so my final score is still pending?

Hey @axel_123 ! 80-84 points is really good! I heard the cut off is somewhere around there, so you have a good chance of getting accepted. Are you applying to to other schools? I still have to take the TEAS, so I won't know till a couple months how many pts. I'll have total. Right now I have 64 without it ? Hey @LiamB ? I wanted to apply to saddleback too but saw that I needed work experience. I barely got my CNA license this January and there was no way I was gonna finish studying for the TEAS and get hired somewhere at the same time. Hopefully we both get accepted later on at GWC! Have you taken the TEAS yet?

Hello everyone, I am creating this forum so other pre-nursing students can gather and share helpful information regarding the application process, specifically for GWC's Fall 2022 entry. Some information I received by (staff removed name) (GWC counselor) today is that GWC's nursing program will accept the highest science grade regardless of repeats/remediation. I was worried because I took Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology all the way back in 2012-2013 when I was first starting college, and I failed a few times ? thankfully, previous failing grades will not impact your eligibility in receiving the highest points in the multi-criteria (just get those A's ?). Additionally, she informed me that if science grades are older than the recency requirement (e.g. GWC has a 7 year recency), then schools will not consider these past grades (even if you failed, like in my case) in the application process. This was a HUGE sigh of relief and hopefully it eases anyone else who might be in a similar situation. p.s. (staff removed name) was referred to me by one of GWC's nursing professors. She did inform me that in the past, GWC used to average the science grades, but this is currently NOT the case (hopefully they don't change anything in the upcoming months). Best of luck to anyone applying this cycle! ? - Rudy
