Anyone applying to ccsf nursing program for fall 2018??

[Nina1234]

Hi all,

i wanted to know if anyone had applied at CCSf nursing program for Fall 2018? If so, does anyone have an idea when they'll start sending out letters?

Thanks!

Congrats NissanX!

What was your overall multicriteria score? Trying to see if I have a chance.

I hope in not just waiting for a waitlisted notice.

What is the reply by date for those who have been accepted?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

My score was pretty high but I'm also a LVN, veteran, had to work during school, etc, etc so I'm probably not a good person to base your score off of.

We have to respond by the 7th and have orientation on the 9th.

So happy to say that I got accepted as well! I had a pretty decent score overall, since I've been working as a CNA for some time now.

[solosam]

Congratulations. Did you get your letter of acceptance yesterday as well?

I did not receive anything in the mail yesterday.

Fingers crossed I'm not just waiting for a waitlist notice:nailbiting:

[Karn1213]

Solosam, I got the letter today 5/1. However, it was postmarked from April 27. But the standby is good too! I hear they make it pretty far down the list!

[solosam]

Hi karn1213!

Did you get an acceptance letter?

I am waitlisted... I just know it. I have not received a letter yet...

Feeling a bit discouraged at this point.

Does anyone know the average number of people who move up and into the program from the waitlist?

[Karn1213]

Yes, I got an acceptance letter. A friend of mine in the program told me that last semester they went until the 40's in the waitlist. Have you tried calling them? If you are on the waitlist, they can tell you what position you are in line.

[solosam]

Congrats karn1213 on the acceptance.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did call and the department confirmed I am on a waitlist but would not tell me in what position.

Also, thank you for the information about the waitlist.

Does anyone else know of someone with such an experience? I would love to hear more stories of success with getting through via the waitlist.

Hey Solosam, I'm most likely giving up my spot at Ccsf (also one of my friends is too). That should move the waitlist at least 2 spots. Good luck!

[solosam]

Hey hollandlops.

Thank you for letting me know of your intentions and congrats on getting accepted to another program! Good luck!

Has anyone else received their notice of standby?

The wording could easily be misinterpreted.

If I am number xx (let's say number 52) .. is there 1 person ahead of me on the list or are there 51 people ahead of me?

Anyone else reading this... What is your interpretation. The letter states:

Top 50 students in point total are selected and the next 70 will be standby. The standby sequence begins #51.

You are #xx on the standby list.

Is the xx number in sequence from 1-120, or is the xx number my position out of the 70 on standby?

Am I over thinking something that is really just so simple. It's the anxiety! Sorry people!

Hi Solosam, I got my letter yesterday. It indeed states that:

"Top 50 sudents in point total are selected and the next 70 will be standby. The standby sequence begins #51. You are #75 on the standby list."

There would be impossible, if my number, #75 is out of the 70 on standby. So it must be the number in sequence from 1-120.

I don't know how long i will wait, but I decide to enjoy this time with my family and friends. And i hope this could calm your nerves a little bit. Good luck to you!

[solosam]

Thanks for the clarification fliu957!

I just wasn't sure if trusted my own instincts after I kept reading the notice.

Good luck!
