   Awesome! I will join. Looking forward to meeting you guys next week. I'll be coming after work (on BART), so sorry to not be able to help carpool. But very excited that we are only 1 month away from starting!

   Hey Robinson1211, Thanks for the info and I'm so sorry to hear you've had so much trouble with the loan approval process. Nothing about getting into nursing school has been easy so far, that's for sure! I remember something like there being a 40,000 ...

   Hi RachWake and Robinson1211, I live in the east bay (Castro Valley), and intend to live there while in school. Even though the BART commute is about 45 mins, and not exactly cheap, it's much less stressful and cheaper than driving, and you can alway...

   Email her--you can look her up on the website ( I can't post names or emails here--but her initials are AS, she is the director of Admissions). She got right back to me.

   I did--I just heard back from her, in fact, and she said I am in #2 position now. So...that means you must be #1, right?!?!

   Hi Preeti, I called yesterday and a very nice woman in the admissions office told me to contact the director of admissions, who should be back in the office now. So, i would contact her and ask your position since our counselor is on vacation. Best o...

    I asked, and she told me that they haven't heard back from everyone yet, so I expect we will hear more news in the coming weeks...here's hoping!

    Thanks for the update, Preeti! Did she give you an idea of how many people they have heard back from? I'm just wondering if there were only 6 people who turned down their acceptance, or they just haven't reached everyone yet who hasn't sent in their ...

    I'd be curious to know how many people on the waiting list confirmed that they will stay on it too, but am even more curious to know how many people didn't turn in their deposit!

    Also, did everyone get a confirmation letter to sign and mail back to confirm that you want to remain on the waiting list?
