Accepted but waiting for another program

Published

Hi guys,

I got accepted into GPC nursing program for this fall semester. Deadline to reply is April 30, 2012. I apply to GSU RT program; however, deadline to apply does not end until may 1 so I won't know until after august. Which is way past the GPC deadline to REPLY soo. is it okay to pay and accept the program and if I get in to the GSU RT program drop it? I feel bad.. and not sure if that is okay? is kinda a werid question to call up and ask GPC.. hey is okay to drop you after i get accept to someone else i want more?.. any suggestion?

*** I apply to BSN gsu and kennesaw state for nursing but no answer yet..BS in RT at GSU is my back up.. GPC ADN-RN is my last resort

Worst case is you pay your seat deposit and don't get it back. Most colleges have a withdraw with refund period if you end up having to pay for classes. I would not call and ask. Good luck!

I know a few people in this situation (different schools) - they are all accepting at one in hopes for another. I think this is common since every program I know of has a considerable waitlist. Good luck!

Most schools have an alternate/drop list for candidates who were close to making the cut. If you drop before the program starts, they can usually offer your seat to the next candidate on the cut list. However, you might not get your deposit back, depending on your program's policy, of course.

Good luck!

Thank you,

But does it look bad on your.. record. like you know if you drop a class is like a W so if you drop a program is it noted?
