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.
I wonder what the odds are of getting in as an alternate... and when we will be notified. I’m going to stay positive and pray for the best!
I am currently a first year student at SWC. There are usually 10 alternates and quite a few get in. A couple of my good friends were alternates. That being said with the situation right now I am not sure how many people are willing to give up their spot seeing how almost every other nursing program is on hold and SWC is going strong.

Thank you for the info! I was thinking the same thing... I believe City, Miracosta, and Grossmont are both still on for Fall though! Grossmont just hasn’t sent their notifications yet.

Hopefully. From what I heard from Grossmont students is that they completely shut down their program. So does that mean they will have 2 sets of first semester students? It seems complicated at this point. I am so glad that SWC decided to keep going. Let me know if you have any questions. I need a distraction from all the studying. ?

How has the program been with the quarantine happening? What happened to clinicals and regular classes?

So far only UCSD Hillcrest is allowing students. So there is only one group of students that are actually physically in clinical. While all the other groups are doing case studies and virtual clinical simulation. But from what I heard is that the faculty are in the talks with facilities on getting actual clinical placements with hospitals, but if hospitals are not allowing students they will try for clinical placements in clinics or SNFs or do on-campus simulation. As for lectures we are doing Zoom meetings, I hope to god that your Profs do pre-recorded lectures so you don't have to deal with lag that much. Hope this answers your questions.
