Best of luck to you! And to everyone else! I'm so eager to get a notification already... the wait is making me so anxious!!

Does anybody know how the admissions committee takes repeated pre-nursing science courses into account? My first attempt at micro was at UCSD in 2013 (lab in 2014), but I retook that at a community college last semester and got an “A”. I couldn’t find info on whether they would average the two grades or take the highest.

They take your new Highest grade. I’ve retaken two science courses to go from Bs to As and that’s how I was able to get more points. I’m hoping to get in this time around!

Saddleback updated their website announcement. Looks like emails will be delayed past May 1st. They will update the website once they have a date.

For everyone here working so hard to get into the program GOODLUCK! I myself have worked so hard and I hope we all can be wonderful nurses someday. I’m waiting anxiously for the date we will get an email.

You can easily accept the first schools offer. If you get an acceptance from Saddleback let the first school know via email or phone call you are rescinding your acceptance because you decided to accept another schools offer.

Just make sure you do let the first school know if you make that decision. That’s why every school has 10-20 alternates. At the end of the day we can only attend one program. If you’re blessed enough to have more than one acceptance after thinking you should decide on one. It will solidify your plan and also help an alternate who's waiting to get an opportunity to be in a nursing program.

They always have encouraged us to apply to more than one school especially in California due to how impacted it is. So they understand and anticipate people to change their minds whether it’s due to school preferences, financial reasons, or even choosing a school that’s closer to you. That’s just my advice though ? Wish you and all of us in this thread good luck and hopefully a response in the next week.
