Congratulations! I'm halfway down the wait list.

Just hang in there, hopefully a spot will open up for you.

Have you applied elsewhere too?

I was accepted and accepted my position. The nursing department said to accept for now and that I could always give up my spot when I hear back from other colleges.

But still waiting to hear back from other colleges. what about you guys ? are any of you guys still waiting to hear back from other programs?

I'm waiting to hear from Ohlone but I'm set in attending CSM since it is closer to home. How about you? Where are you waiting to hear from? Is CSM one of your top choices?

I did not apply anywhere else this go around. Just got an email that a few students have declined so there is some movement on the wait list. Still need 14 students to decline in order for me to get in. They want us to attend the registration meeting on the 15th just in case our numbers get called.

Wow, it seems like there's a chance you may get in, but it all depends on others giving up their spots, it seems. Some schools have not send out acceptance letter/emails yet, so hang in there and best of luck!

I only received a letter stating they didn't have a spot for me but I'm waitlisted at #18 and that they will call if a spot opens up. How many are on the waitlist, does anyone know? I never heard about the registration meeting on the 15th either :/

Hi, there.

I'm not sure how many are actually on the waiting list, but based on the top 90 being asked to provide TEAS scores, and 50 being offered admission, I'd say at the most there would be 40 on the waiting list. I highly doubt that could be actual number as some people in the top 50 may have declined their spot (and may continue to do so in the next couple weeks if they get accepted somewhere else) and the waiting list is moving up.

I understand how frustrating that can be, but I'd say keep checking in with the department to see where you stand, and hopefully it will all work out for you! Best of luck

Hello,

Sorry for the late response. My top choice is CSU East Bay but won't find out till the end of the month. My second choice is SF State, I am number 16 on the wait list. Also waiting to hear back from chabot on May 18th.
