I applied for the generic program and submitted my application in June. I checked with the admission's coordinator by email this week, and she confirmed they received all of my requirements. Now I'm waiting for a reply! Hoping that will arrive sometime in October.

Hi futurenurse00! Here is a link to their PDF of admission criteria:

https://www.alamo.edu/siteassets/sac/academics/programs/nursing/admission-policy---oct-2019-update.pdf

It includes info on GPA and TEAS scores. They use a point system to score applications. Hope this helps!

LOL, I searched the older posts too but didn't pay attention to the date, nice observation

hey, as far as san antonio nursing programs go, here's what I've heard:

- avoid Galen (was told this by my pre-req professors)

- UIW... super expensive, can get the same credential (RN) for much less

- Texas Lutheran... good program but also too expensive

- SAC... most affordable and long standing history

- BSHP... lots of good reviews of this program, same associates degree as SAC but more expensive, advantage is the hospital affiliation and great clinical rotations

-UTHSCSA... lots more pre requisites and application requirements but challenging program

My questions are:

Is SAC your first choice for nursing school? If yes, why? If not, why not? And where else have you applied? What are your impressions of the other programs?... I am really interested in SAC but don't know any nursing students who go there. Otherwise I'd ask them all about their experiences.
