Alternate List at UMC

[Pierce_RN]

I found out two weeks ago I was put on the alternate list for UMC traditional nursing school program, TOTALLY bummed! I called their offices and spoke to someone who said UMC accepted 90 students with 30 more on the alternate list. I have no clue where I stand on that list, the woman I spoke to instructed me to call back in mid April to find out if they will even have to take any students from the list this year. (I guess putting all my eggs in 1 basket wasnt so smart)

My next step is to gather as much info as I can on USM and MC. My GPA is a 3.2 overall and my ACT score is a 26. Grade wise, is this competitive enough to be able to get into these schools for their traditional programs? I am going to start applying right away.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!! :)
