Congratulations to those who have received notification!! How exciting!!

I haven't heard anything yet. I do have two chem classes that I was going to take over the summer, and I'm hoping that isn't what has held me back. I didn't do them previously because I didn't want to take them without knowing for sure about the program because I'l already signed up for an ADN program for the fall. Still keeping my fingers crossed that I get in.

That's a smart idea. If you don't get in, just remember that it'll be a much more relaxed pace getting to that ADN and then you can always get into a hospital job and do the online ADN-BSN program and have the hospital help with tuition. The Plan B option is not too bad in my opinion - much less of a financial strain. But if time is off the essence the accelerated program is a good option. Good luck either way!

I am in the same situation here. I have become obessed with checking emails. I am going through a tough time in my life, my grandmother is well.....I am not sure what she is. She is on a Ventilator in a coma, it doesn't look too good but we are praying. I sure could use some good news. I also had my interview June 5th. I am also waiting. Now I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that I may have not made it in. I will be okay. God never gives you what you can't handle. I thank you all for all the positive stories, it has given me hope. If not this cohort the next. I hear that they are trying to start one in February. Good luck to everyone and congratulations JilaJila!!!!!!, I wish they put me in your place

Hey Bluelle, did you hear anything yet? the wait is killing me. I am so tempted to call and just ask if am in or not, but I realize that I should just wait.

I have a question. is it that those who are accepted gets an email and letter? or do you also get an email if not accepted? Hearing that others has already gotten a reply in terms of acceptance has got me a bit nervous.

Again good luck to all who is in this waiting game. no matter what we wont give up!

So....I received a letter today through regular postal mail that I was put on the waitlist for the October cohort. In essence if enough people decide not to do the program, then I have a chance of getting in. Does anyone know exactly how many people are put on the waiting list? Or is there anyone that has been through the program or is in it now that was accepted after being put on the waiting list? I guess I'm just interested to know what my odds are, since essentially this isn't a firm denial either.

For those who has been accepted what is the deadline to reserve your spot?

Bluelle - You are right this is not a firm denial letter. I would be ok with being on the wait-list. Congratulations anyway. Being on the waiting list is better than not being in at all.

CHINBLK,

My letter states that those who have been offered admission have until 6/30 to secure their places. Those that don't, those spots will be offered to Waitlisted candidates. So it says that I will be notified after 6/30 about admissions. I wish I knew exactly how much later that was. A week, a month...??? lol.

Blueelle,

Anyone that they deem 'qualified' they put on the waitlist so there is no set number what i was told when i was on the waitlist was that they rarely have to use it with this particular program. I know your planning on going to matc..I would call and set up an appointment with sue if you want to apply again she gave me great advice on my resume and cover letter for my next time applying as well as how to use my 'extra' reference that you get to the best of my advantage. for instance i had used teachers .....but my grades spoke for themself what i needed was a nurse that had seen me work ect....

I think you sound like exactly the kind of student they want from our private email.. and I think talking to sue will help clairfy how to be prepared. i can almost guarentee that with you taking classes this summer played a significant role in their decision.
