I don't think they give the lower points to North Lake. The people with the higher points get their first choice, whichever it may be. The lower points accepted get what's left, which could end up being where they wanted to be in the first place. My first choice was el centro, but I don't know if I got there because of my points or if that's where the spots were left. I hope that helps!

I just got accepted to El Centro Spring 2012. The lowest they took was 14 this time.

I have heard the same things about EC as well. I even had an instructor from another DCCCD campus tell me to try for Brookhaven instead. I have also met several people who have graduated from the EC program that have loved it and said they had a positive experience. I am truly sorry ETCO2 that you have not had a good experience and applaud you for sticking it out. You will be a great nurse and a stronger person because of that. Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us. I am planning on sticking it out as well and learning all I can and being the best I can be at EC. I have taken one class there and did experience some harsh words and yelling when I came close to breaking sterile technique during a check off and while it was unpleasant, it just motivated me to do better. I wish you the best and thanks again. Keep us updated!

Has anyone called to confirm that El Centro recieved the confirmation letter? I just had a flash of fear that mine was lost in the mail for some reason.

You get 5 points if your gpa was between 3.6 and 4.0. I barely made that with a 3.6 because of a c in algebra.

I got in at El Centro too!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so very happy for you!!!!! Hopefully we will all be joining you!!!

I'm dying over here! Did you get anything?

I'll go to either school as well, just as long as I go somewhere! Good luck everybody!

We should know by late october. I think the website says oct. 15th but from what I've read on this site they have been late in the years past. I didn't apply anywhere else for spring.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Mine is dated 4-20 so I thought it would be okay, I'm just nervous about it.

Does anybody know the cut off date for the physical? I'm worried mine is too old. I know it has to be less than 9 months but what exact date would they cut off?

I turned mine in yesterday too. Now for the long and nervracking wait.

How many points did you have the first time you applied?

I have another question if you guys don't mind. I've emailed and left messages for the advisors but haven't heard back yet (I'm sure they're swamped with questions!). The app says to include official score sheets for the HESI. Where do you get an official score sheet or do you just print them out from the evolve website? When I do that nothing says official on them. I'm just so nervous about messing something up on my app.
