Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

Published

Starting a thread for applicants of the ADN program at Southwestern College for Fall 2021. 

I was sent an email confirming my application was received by the nursing department this week. 

I believe my points are 87 if they accept my life experiences and special circumstances. 

With past semesters stats, I’m not too worried about my position. I might apply at Grossmont and City, but I prefer Southwestern because of their partnership with SDSU (PLNU has a poor NCLEX pass rate ?).

***Please read the Southwestern nursing department web site for common questions such as: when to expect acceptance, prerequisites, start dates, etc. “To be a nurse takes initiative!”***

Remember anxiety will not speed up the process or increase your odds of acceptance ?

Does anyone know how they determine who gets in if it’s a tie between several people? Like say if 10 people have 87 points?

Thats a good question. Still no word on my end either, hopefully since they sent them out last Saturday they might send them out tomorrow. Lets keep the faith ❤️

For those who haven’t been accepted yet, are you worried that you wrote down the wrong email address? ? cus I didn’t get an acceptance or denial and I’m hoping I wrote the email address correctly, and I don’t wanna bug em!

As far as I know you need to have an SWC email. Did you use your SWC email?

They look into your Science GPA first. Then, let say there's 5 students who has the same science GPA and same fixed GPA, the last thing they will look is your TEAS. Whoever gets the highest among the 5 students will get the spot.

Hi everyone! 
I got accepted on the 24th however I emailed the program on Friday that I will be attending elsewhere. I received confirmation that afternoon that my spot was given up. So my spot is open. (Btw I applied with 97 pts I believe) 

Good luck everyone! 

Congrats xtine!:)

Im at 87 pts anxiously waiting for the email!

Hi! 
I am going to Azusa Pacific University (satellite campus in mission valley) for their Entry level masters: nurse practitioner  program. I have a bachelors in an unrelated field and could only apply to programs in SD as my husband is in the military so I applied to all the dif programs here to keep my options open since nursing is so competitive. 

I was accepted today with 87 points. So excited for this journey! Good luck to everyone still waiting ❤️
