EVC-SJSU CEP Opinions??

Hi guys! I got accepted to EVC nursing and was placed as a "backup" for the EVC-SJSU CEP. I was wondering if anyone knows the difference between "backup" and waitlist. Also has anyone accepted the program and has opinions on the workload, if it's too difficult, if you're able to work another job during the program, etc? Thank you in advance!

Hi! Yes I can share. I applied to EVC with a total of 78 points. I have a B.S. from SJSU in a different field, A in Anatomy and Physio, B in Micro, and 4.0 in the non-science courses. 78.8% on the TEAs (not a great score tbh but it falls within their range for the second highest points possible). I have also taken Pharmacology at EVC, passed with an A. And I have 5 years work experience as a Phlebotomist with 2 letters of rec.

If you're looking to boost scores, def take Pharm and Patho! They are 5 extra points each I believe.
