Saddleback College ADN Spring 2023

Published

Hi everyone! I'm starting this forum to share some experiences with the application process for the Spring 2023 and maybe share some stats. 

2 Associates Degrees = 4 pts

4.0 science GPA = 30 pts

Relevant nursing coursework = 15 pts 

Life experience = 3 pts 

2nd language proficiency = 2 pts 

TEAS score (85-100) = 25 pts 

= 79 points

Sadly won't be able to include my EMT license here because they do require some work experience but state license processing is taking AWHILE

Do you guys think there will be an inflation of the overall admitted score since they changed the system for work experience?

Hi iPanda,

Thank you for starting this group!   I am feeling anxious about waiting.  Wishing you luck on getting accepted!  

* 1 A.A. = 2 pts

* CNA w/ some work exp. = 15 pts

* 3.69 Science GPA = 25 pts

* Nursing Coursework = 20 pts

* Life Exp. = 3 pts

* 2nd language (proficient? IDK ... long ago) = 2 pts?

* TEAS Score = 25 pts

= 92 pts ?  

There likely will be some inflation with the points, as it did for me.  Hope your EMT paperwork gets sorted soon.  That will be great experience.

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! ?

Did anyone hear apply anywhere else for an RN program if you did what other college did you apply to?

I applied to Stanbridge and got accepted.  However, I realized I did not want to have that kind of student debt and did not want to retake classes that lapsed for their specific criteria.  Hoping that Saddleback takes me this term, otherwise I will be retaking anatomy to apply at Santa Ana & Goldenwest.  

How about you?

Hi Tammie, 

I didn't apply to any other programs. If I don't get accepted, I'll apply to a few other programs next semester.
