Santa Ana College ADN Fall 2019

Published

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to start off this year's application pool for those (like me lol) looking to see where ya rank.

I'm applying with 81 points for this Fall 2019.

What really helped me was having my AA and working in a hospital setting! I applied for Spring 2019 with a lot less points because I wasn't done with the AA. What also sucks is that I took a Pharmacology class at OCC and SAC doesnt accept it for the full 8 points (bc I received an A), yet Saddleback, which is one of the highest ranked schools in the county, accepts it. 

Sac only gives credit for Pharmacology taken in the nursing program.

so, everyone should confirm with the nursing dept before taking it.

But if you once take it , you will save some time in the first nursing semester, which is good!

Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know how soon acceptances are sent out? I know the online application form says no later than April 10th, just wondering if anyone knows when they think they will start admitting students. Also wondering if anyone has called and asked about what kind of point range they are seeing. Thanks!

It looks like last year they started receiving letters on April 13th. I’m also curious about the point range this year ?

What other classes did you completed besides the sciences before applying?

I literally finished all the classes stated on the lists including Pharmacology and medical terminology. I have taken Pharm at Saddleback, which is in the category of nursing program.

I called and was told the middle of April because they received more applications than anticipated!

thanks! I was just wondering how I should go about it, i will be returning to the state Mid May and applied to SAC and I've taken the majority of the pre-reqs but I need math, 2 humanities courses per SAC requirements. I do plan to take them either in the summer or fall, my intentions were to take summer off and study for the TEAS and apply this September or idk if i should just complete all requirements for the ADN before applying to the nursing program but that would push me to apply and start The nursing program "if accepted" FALL 2020. I have not taken pharm but i know sac doesn't offer that course anymore. Would it be best if i take that course for the points?

It seems to be getting higher and higher as the semesters go by.
