Southwestern College ADN Fall 2019

Published

Hi everyone! I’m starting this thread so we can share our application criteria points with each other! I just turned in my application today. I have between 85 and 88 points. I have 3 B’s on my science prerequisites :((, 4.0 gpa for all the general Ed courses. I have fluency in Spanish, an associates degree, CNA, and volunteer experience. I scored an 88 on my TEAS! I hope they can look past my grades in my prerequisite courses and I get in!!! I hope we all get into this cohort! Good luck everyone

I was in your shoes two years ago and now I am working as a RN, graduated from SWC and going to PLNU for the RN-to-BSN program. It all works out! Alternates do not get discouraged, in my cohort all 10 alternates got in. You will be amazed how many people cannot commit to the schedule due to other responsibilities but wont say anything until the first week of class. Just stick it out.

It is so nice to hear it all worked out for you! ? Thank you for sharing your story with me and telling me about all alternates in your cohort getting in- It gives me hope. I'll for sure stick it out.

So cool! Is there a particular reason you are attending PLNU instead of SDSU? I heard Southwestern has a bridge program with SDSU. Is that still available there?

This wait is getting ridiculous. If they don't tell us by today or tomorrow I'm going to get pretty upset. Especially because online it says "Acceptances will be sent out mid-late April" ....well it's basically May in two days! Keep your fingers crossed everyone, hopefully today is the day.

It's taking so long!!!!! By the time we find out people that didnt get in will have to scramble to make a spring application. Does southwestern even have spring cohorts?

From what I've seen, they only have the once a year application period. On their website it says, "The application period for Fall 2019 is October 1, 2018 at 9:00am - January 31, 2019 at 3:00pm."

@Xm92 Hey! Yup, it was you. I remember your username. Crazy stuff!!! I was so happy for you when I read you finally got in! How is school going?

School is okay. I’m hanging in there! It’s tough but manageable as long as you plan your studies in your routine you should be fine! I’ll be rooting for ya!!!
