Southwestern College ADN Fall 2019

[anikoo96]

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 wish there’s some sort of alternate group lol. I feel annoying always commenting here. But anyways, I know what you mean. Hopefully someone hears back soon.

Lol! I hear ya... I just don't care anymore if I sound annoying. I guarantee everyone will hear from me every few days on here. Sorry to everyone in advance! ?

@Caligirl85

were you at the orientation on wed. (One of the ADN students who spoke)? If so, were there that many, or nearly that many people at yours?

Sorry everyone... I said I may be annoying. ?

This is amazing! Congratulations ?

Thank you so much! I remember you telling me not to get discouraged because I was an alternate, and you were right. Can't wait to graduate like you next year. Congrats on completing successfully nursing school! ?

That’s so awesome!! Congrats. My husband is an alternate to the LVN step up also. Sounds like they already called 3 ppl back! ?we still have hope ?? If you don’t mind me asking do you know how many points you had?

Thank you! I did not count my points because I submitted my application last minute.. I have B's in my science classes, the rest of my classes I have A's for the most part & I got 83.3% on my TEAS test. I am bilingual, I have my IV certification, and I worked while taking my prerequisites. Good luck to your husband! Keep your hopes up ??

We really wont find out any information until someone doesn't pass their background or drug screening or decides to not go into the program. We’re probably going to have to wait until the end of this month at least.
