Generally very high. Just remember that if you are an alternate and you don’t get in, you’re guaranteed a spot for the next class. The Dean mentioned today that they haven’t had any declinations, but keep you’re hopes up. For my cohort, they went thr...

Working is HIGHLY discouraged, but totally doable... depending on how well you are dedicated and know how to time manage. We we have several students who work and they do perfectly fine. It’s just a lot of dedication. I personally work one 8 hour sh...
Hi everyone! For those who got accepted to Sierra and were at Orientation on Tuesday. I am one of the people in charge of our mentor program and we have created a Facebook group in order for those to join and ask questions regarding class/clinical. W...

Sierra is the only local one I'm aware of that you don't need to apply to the school before applying to the nursing program... unless it changed this application period as they changed their application process. Just be aware that ARC's and SCC's (an...
Honestly, I want to say you won't need it, but it depends on how much you remember from A&P and Micro. When they go over a lecture about a body system (let's say GI), they sometimes do a small brief overview of the system, and then go straight in...
Those 6 units in the summer are upper division (human development and cultural anthropology). They aren't the lower division you take at the community college level. If you have already taken them, you don't need to retake them. Those are just the re...
