I know what you mean about getting your hopes up. In some ways that makes it harder. For me anyway. I have been told that I was a "strong candidate" and "likely in the top 150" (out of 800) which would put me in the acceptance pool. Yet, I know anything can happen and maybe there are many more people who did better than me. That is the thing, you can do excellent and still not get in if someone did a just a wee bit better, or had some other skill or language or whatever. Reading about 4.0 students with great test scores, recommendations, etc., that still don't get in is disheartening.

I am trying hard to just let it go and trust that what is in my best interest will unfold for me. Magical thinking, perhaps - but what else can I do? Besides, truly, my life has been blessed in so, so many way and things have always worked out. Why not this? We just have to make the best of whatever.

Well talked to lady in charge of "THE LETTERS" tuesday. She stated final meeting was yesterday and letters for TJC will go out Thursday (today) and Friday. I went by her office this morning and asked politely if she could tell me in person what my results were. NO, she said......., then I asked if she could at least tell me what the cutoff points were, she said NO. She then proceeded to ask me what my points were and they retorted I think that will do but I'm not sure....liar she had the list in her hands as we spoke. Yes, I briefly toyed with the thought of wrestling her to the ground for it.....LOL So needless to say Iwill be awaiting Saturdays mail and feel I definitely have a big fat ulcer!!!

I just had to vent. She is purposely torturing us......

FINALLY got my acceptance letter to the University of Oklahoma BSN program.....I am so relieved...it is my first time applying and after reading these boards I didn't think I had a snowball's chance in HELL of getting in! I'm not quite as happy as I should be, it hasn't sunk in yet.

Congrats on acceptance. Now the real fun begins. LOL Enjoy the moment, you deserve it. I gives the rest of us hope. You see, dreams do come true.

I've been waiting on notification for an LPN to RN program since 3/1 and will have to keep on waiting until about 6/1. Supposedly they're going to send me something before the end of April concerning how many points I got toward admission, which will give me some idea of my odds.

My mom is also a student (not nursing) at the college and got tired of me talking about it non-stop, so she asked the folks handling it how many applicants there were. They indicated that there were 4 more applicants than will be accepted. I doubt I'm in the bottom 4 (out of twenty some). If I am, I hope some folks ahead of me decide not to do it for whatever reason. I've made some Tonya Harding jokes.

Congratulations! It's great to hear when someone is accepted!

That is very true, You start to really believe that the manila envelope is going to show up in your mailbox and you start to imagine yourself opening it up and it starts to take over you. It really is cruel and self-controlled punishment. I have been down this road now 4 times and I really have had to stop myself from even believing that there is a chance. It really can be hard but I try to tell myself every day that it is not going to happen.

Seriously what we put ourselves through!!

I just got my acceptance letter to Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing! It was my top choice and I so excited I can't even stand myself right now! Good luck to everyone still waiting! Once you make it in, all of the waiting feels worthwhile.
