have nursing schools ever changed their initial admissions decision?

[RNkacy]

Hi fellow nurses/nursing students,

I recently applied to a known university for admission in their MSN program. Sadly I got a denial letter after four months of waiting and a year long process. I was highly dissappointed as my application met majority of what they were looking for. Needless to say my interview went really well too. So i called and wrote them an email wanting to get some insight regarding reason for the denial along with why I thought the program was best fit for me (which I already had mentioned in my essay).

So my question to you guys is would a nursing school ever change their initial decision? Are there any chances for me to get accepted in the program? Please guide. Thanks

The school should give you an explanation of why you were denied admission. Without really knowing the facts, I could only infer that the school had a set number of slots for this particular program and there were many candidates who met all the criteria so that many qualified candidates like you were turned away. Is there a chance they could change their decision? if it's a matter of not having enough slots for all the qualified applicants, some who were admitted may voluntarily withdraw their interest in the school thus, opening up slots to others like you. However, this is pure speculation on my part.
