WHat do you think

I posted thsi is other forums but just want some insight from everyone, I have been waiting for a while for a letter from my school about wether or not i got into the Nursing Program. So the other day i get a letter and it says "Dear Andrew , we reviewed your application and blah blah blah....although we have not admitted you at this time, we have placed your name on an ALTERNATE list. and(in big bold letters) YOUR RANK ON THE ALTERNATE LIST is #8 due to your NLN PN score."

Have any of you guys ever had been placed ona an alternate list..how di dit turn out, known anyone in my situation any insight would help
