@01flawsandall Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. do you know if students get to try all of these places out, or is it like you only get to go to certain ones based on availability or splitting of groups?

has anyone heard back yet? also has anyone heard any good or back things about the program? anyone know where clinicals are at?

Has anybody received a rejection email or does this school not send rejection emails like other?

Has anyone received any new emails with info for the welcome day?

I got in! Congrats to everyone !!

I did my interview. It was so fast. It was the questions mentioned above and they write down your answer. I honestly didn't know what to say for the "what do u want to share about yourself". She said I would know in a week. I was so nervous and it was over before I knew it. I feel bummed cause I don't feel like I could gage if it was good or not. The questions were just asking what the application asked. Reconfirming how many TEAS test I took, how many schools I applied, if offered a spot would I say yes. I'm not sure if they are looking to see if people are honest or IDK LOL

LOL that's good to know. I was trying to read about ELAC's mission and stuff about their program but their page doesn't have much info. I wonder why they are just reasking stuff from our application, makes me wonder what they are looking for.

@zanunu thank u for sharing! I hope u get in. Did they say how long after the meeting u will hear back? Did she say anything that made u think if u got in? Did she ask why ELAC LOL? Also does anybody know when the semester starts?

@mxssaaa@melomelo I hope it all goes well for u! Has anybody done their meeting yet?

I'm sure many in California know how competitive and hard it is to get a spot so I really need advice. I was recently invited to an application review at ElAC's nursing program in California (any prior alumni or current students please help) and after doing some research, I have found mainly negative reviews. I even was able to find a prior student that went there from an all nurse's post and reached out to them. They proceeded to tell me that the program is very disorganized, tends to overlap exams, they don't get good clinical placements and that the program was put on probation a couple years ago because they weren't getting high enough NCLEX passing score. I looked on the ca NCLEX score website and saw that for a couple years their pass rates were in the 70s and then last year it was in the 80s and then this year they got 100. However the number of students who took it went down from the 50s to 20s so I started doing some research about attrition rate and I saw a lot of comments from prior students saying that a lot of students had dropped it midway just to how disorganized it was, to how Much bullying they were getting from the staff and how they weren't getting much support . Reading about this has made me really nervous and is making me feel anxious to accept their offer because I want to be able to go to a program that is going to support me and prepare me to pass the NCLEX and at least offer me good clinical placements. I know I will learn to be a nurse on the job and that every person will have a different experience in each program. I also know that I will have to work hard and be diligent to whatever program I go to but I want to be in a program that is going to set me up to succeed. I know every nursing program has their own challenges, but the idea of declining my seat there n reapplying again with the chance of probably getting in or probably not getting in, is very risky especially in California. I have applied to nursing schools since December of last year and I've managed to get onto waitlist, but it wasn't until this month that finally one of the programs invited me in for an interview. If I were to decline, I would have to reapply again not knowing if I would get in. I'm sure that there is a small chance that I might get accepted, especially cause I'm planning on retaking my tea since I already maxed out my points in all other areas, but I'm just nervous because that would mean waiting more time and maybe or maybe not getting a chance. For those of you that are already in a nursing program given the situation, Would you guys still take it and say yes to this program or would you guys wait to try again? The student told me that it will be a lot of self teaching since supposedly the teachers are not very helpful and just give you slides with pictures from the book which to me isn't ideal but I had to teach myself a lot for Microbiology and physiology and I ended up passing with an a, but it just scares me because this is a whole new Material and form of thinking ( ik any other nursing program I will have to teach myself stuff and work hard and that's okay. I'm not asking for an easy ride but rather an environment and school that will support me and give me the tools I need to succeed.) just really nervous because let's say I do say yes and the program isn't good like the other review said, dropping from the program would make me ineligible for other nursing programs, making my ability to enter a nursing program, even harder in California. Any advice would be greatly appreciate it.

@mxssaaa thank you. I appreciate your comment. Ik every program will have its ups and downs. And I know every experience will be different but reading about all the negative reviews just had made me really nervous. I agree with the you tho. I plan on going in with a positive mindset and ready to work hard. Do you know anything about clinical placements and stuff ? Besides your cousin's experience, what else made u apply there ?

@roxsana Garcia thank you for answering. Did you end up going to the program? How do you like it? Can you share your experience, please? I've been reading from other threads and so far a lot of the reviews have been very negative towards the program. Do you feel like your experience has been the same? Do you think the program isn't as good as others have been seen? Would you recommend it?

hey I was wondering for those that got invited to the review application meeting what was it like? is it like an interview? I applied for the Spring 2026 and got invited but there is not much info on the program. if anyone has anything they can share please let me know

I have been looking at old cohorts all nurses posts and on Reddit. I've seen more negative reviews towards the program than bad and even on rate my professor for the nursing professors aren't that good are any of you guys nervous when it comes to that or have any of you guys heard good things about the program or know anybody that went to it? Do the negative reviews also scare you guys or is it just me?

for anyone who went to the interview can they please share their experiences and the questions they were asked? did they all get asked about what school they went to?
