I didn't get it :(

don't give up, check out some other schools. is this a university or community college? sounds like a university. community colleges at least take about 120 students twice a year giving you a better chance of getting accepted. i applied twice before finally getting accepted at wcccd here in mi. but if this is your passion def. don't give up, hope this helps and i hope you feel better!:nuke:

nope, it's a community college. they only take 44 people once a year, which is really frustrating! there are other schools, but this is the only one i can apply to. i have 4 kids under the age of 10 and i just can't commute any farther than this school. my hands are tied! i know it will happen when it's time, but it's frustrating only having one chance a year, with such low odds.

thanks for the encouragement :)

wow, such a low amount. are u sure that this is the only school u can apply 2? the other schools may possibly have something. even a lpn program which is usually only about a year and then you should be able to bridge to a rn program. i understand your frustration. it seems with me it just wasn't my time yet. i used to stress so much about getting accepted, but then i got tired of stressing and retaking over. after my last rejection i said this is it i'm going to reapply and this time i didn't stress, i was very calm and i only called once to see when letters was going out. i just happened to go to the mailbox and there was my letter after i had practically given up. so keep trying every angle so you won't feel as though you wasted a goog gpa, because thats how i was feeling, and that was my biggest fear. sorry for the long post, just know what you're going through. :)

Thank you :) No, I really can't. The other schools are about 45-60 miles away and I just don't have the childcare for 4 kids before and after school, it's just not possible. It will happen one day, I just hate knowing that I'm already 30 and I have so many years ahead of me before I can work, KWIM?

I am really sorry! During your wait, can you take other classes so you can continue on to a BSN if you want to?
