Riverside Community College

I'm currently living out of state, but was born and raised in So. CA....I am thinking of returning to the Inland Empire and applying to RCC.

I would be interested in any information I can get about their program, waiting lists, is it considered a good program, class times, and anything else relevant.

Also, can you recommend some names on campus that I can contact for more info? :specs:

Thanks!

Just wanted to let you know a few things about RCC. RCC and most of the community colleges in So Cal are completely impacted. (Meaning that there are at least twice as many applicants for the number of spots available). I was told that you have to have at least a 3.5GPA in the science classes (Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology) required and you have an even better chance if most of your GE is completed as well. All the schools require the same 4 core science classes completed before applying.

RCC's clinical/program hours are basically Mon-Fri 7am-4:30, give or take a few hours if there isn't a lecture on a given day. It also depends if you're taking a GE course each semester also.

I don't have any ratings as far as how "good" the program is, because most of us in California can't afford to be picky unless you have a 4.0 GPA.

Good luck in your search. I'm currently finishing up the pre-req sciences and hope to apply to the USC County Program in August for a January start date.

Thanks.....I've poured through their website and plan to attend one of their open houses in May...

I hadn't looked in to CSUSB.....thanks so much for the thought! Being from CA originally, driving isn't an issue....
