I was just put on a alternate list for Pellissippi State in Knoxville, TN. Was anyone else an alternate before being selected to nursing school? I'm not sure what number I am and how many are on the waiting list.

Great! Glad you got it all worked out!! I said the same thing about the costs of things! Idk what I would do if I didn't have my husband's support!! Sheesh! bc It all adds up! Not to mention I have to get a new laptop bc the one I've had is waaaay too old....but again, I too am happy to be given the opportunity in the first place so I won't complain!!! I will look for you at the orientation, My last name is Mcgill and first inital J. What's yours?

My last name is Anderson and first name starts with a J also. í ½í¸€

I emailed the nursing department asking for an alternate list update. Pamela Schafer emailed promptly emailed back and said they are contacting alternates as seats become available. They will continue this through July 1st and if I don't hear anything by that date, I will need to reapply. Anybody heard anything different?

I still haven't heard anything. Thanks for the update.

July 1st seems sort of early? but I guess if they know all the candidates are 100% sure they are attending maybe so? But in my opinion, anything could happen last minute...We don't have the mandatory orientation until July 9th, so technically if you miss that then you are dropped. AND it may be at that point that someone may decide they can't attend bc we will also find out our schedule at orientation..I will update you guys after I attend the orientation, and let you know if I hear of anyone who plans on not attending. Don't give up hope though! It's still just May!

Thanks for the additional info and congratulations once again on getting in!! I'll look forward to your updates!

Thank you very much! And yes ma'am, I will continue to let you guys know if I learn of anything that may benefit you!

Any news concerning the alternate list? I'm still waiting!! Argh!!

Hi!) I was given the alternate seat... and then 1 month later on the last day they sent me another letter that I was denied. =( I was really upset, because my gpa is high and essay was perfect. That was very unfortunate. 400 applied, 73 were accepted to my program, 30 for another program... so 300 were denied. That is crazy!
