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?
Congrats @HaloNursing @rudyness_o &@loveleggs ! I also got accepted! See you in orientation ?

Do you apply to Golden West College?

Can I ask what does it mean ‘’Relevant nursing coursework = 15 pts ‘’ is it mean the nurses classes that require to give points ? Also if I have CNA linces but without experience can I still get points ? Whats the competitive points to get in. TIA
The relevant nursing coursework would be classes such as "pharmacology, lifecycle, psychology, math, communication studies" and you need to have work experience along with your license in order to get points. According to the website, the last application cycle the point cut off was at 82 points for those who got in, and 77-80 points for alternates. Take a look at Saddleback's website and click on the nursing page. It gives you all the information you're looking for. The next application cycle is Feb 2023. I recommend you go over your transcripts with a counselor to see what points you'll get and to make sure everything is accurate. Some students may have to fill out a course equivalency form or course substitute form. Good luck on your journey! ?

Congrats @HaloNursing!! ? I also got an acceptance! Still debating whether or not I'll go to saddleback or GWC (but I don't hear back from GWC until mid-September).
I'll see those who got in during zoom orientation next week tho!! Take care everyone.
