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.

Hi guys, I hear that you guys are saying that we can accept and then back out but I read in both colleges sites that once you accept a spot into one nursing program you automatically are no longer eligible to accept another programs offer? Is that true or not?

I don’t think so.. I’ve never heard of that. People change their minds. But don’t quote me on it! Haha

“*Please note, if you are enrolled or have accepted a seat into any other Grossmont College Health Professions Program, you will be ineligible to receive an invitation to the Nursing Program. Students wishing to apply to the program must apply for an entry date which does not conflict with the completion of the program currently enrolled in. “

Is that what you saw on Grossmonts page? I think that’s referencing to if you are in another program at Grossmont.

Try calling the school and ask.

Hey guys! I’m looking to reapply next term. Does anyone know if we’re allowed to put a higher math (like math 72) on the application instead?

You are but you need to turn a substitution paper. Substitute math 60 for math 72 so it counts.

Thanks! And that’s with the application itself or beforehand?

I think it’s before. I had to also apply for my associates when I applied to the program, so I had to do it before.

Yes, I substituted a statistics class. I didn't have to fill out a form a counselor just filled it in for me on my SEP

Do the other alternates know which alternate number they are?

They don’t tell us. You could try asking.

No, they didn’t tell me which number I was. I wish!
