Southwestern College ADN Fall 2020

Published

Hey guys. Making this for those who are applying to SWC’s (Chula Vista, CA) ADN program for Fall 2020. Application period starts soon (November 4)! Write your questions to help each other out throughout the application period. If you want, post the amount of points you have in the point system.

Here’s the amount of points I have

Associates Degree - 5 points

CNA Certification - 25 points

Science Prereq GPA - 30 points (4.0 GPA)

”Fixed Set” GPA - 8 points (3.9 GPA)

Life Experience - 3 points

Language - 3 points (Spanish, documented proficiency)

TEAS test - 15-22 points ... I still need to take the TEAS. I want to give myself enough time!

So that puts me at 89-96/100 points.

Years of hard work into one packet... and now we wait.

Good luck to you all. You guys got this.

Hey I got my denial too but I applied to grossmont with a better TEAS score so we’ll see...

Yes! I got a C in math and a B in English so I’m retaking both of them currently. The rest I got A’s in. You can retake the ones you need this Fall semester and still have time to reapply since the deadline is usually in January!

I didn't know it was possible to retake classes that you've gotten a B in. I'll look into that. do you know if it will replace the grade, or be the average of the two?

You just have to go to admissions on the main campus and fill out a repetition course application. They take the higher score, so if you get an A instead they’ll take that.

Does anyone know if they send out multiple rounds of emails? I’m still waiting on an email ???? I saw there was a couple of you in the same boat

for those who got accepted, how many points did you have?

By my estimate, I had about 91 points. 4.0 on prereqs, 3.46 in other classes, degree, CNA, 87 on TEAS, 3 life points possibility

Maybe for others who haven't heard, they are waiting for the first round of people to deny the offer? We were told to respond by May 18

Did anyone get waitlisted?

Hi Alexis

Just wondering how fast was it for them to approve the petition? I've filed it back in March and haven't heard anything back ?

Hello! I got the email approval within the week I filled the petition out. I would maybe email admissions to see the status of your course repetition.
