well congrats to you all I got wait listed per NVCC. Does anyone know if the waitlist is for that school alone or for the whole CT-CCS? I find it hard to believe there are 694 people on the waitlist for all the schools. I'm hopeing you all found out because you ranked in the top 60% of your first choice which means I have hope for my 2nd and 3rd choices. Congrats again I'll guess I'll start applying to LPN or Paramedic school instead ;(

I also got into Gateway, but not until the spring semester. Am hoping I can switch to fall to keep the momentum going after wrapping up the co-reqs this summer...

Congrats to all!

I am about to send my acceptance return to Barbara Bickford for the Spring 2010 at GWCC, with a request to change to fall if any space becomes available! It's been alot of work so far to get to this point, and it hasn't even started yet! Congrats to those who got in, and to those who didn't, keep on striving to achieve your goals and I am confident you will find a way.

Matt,

I believe the waitlist is for all the schools. So It moves faster than you think. So if someone declines in NVCC declines, then the next person on the waitlist is up no matter what schools they picked. So you can get called for Three Rivers even if you didn't list that school as a choice.

Also, I don't know you situation but there are plenty of programs that border CT. There is ocean county college that is in New Jersey, but you only go once a week, they have spring admissions, there is Cohran in NY that has both evening and Saturday programs, they are still accepting applications for the fall, and they have spring admissions. There is Becker College, which (as I understand) has a huge nursing staff, in MA. They accept in the spring. There are also plenty of BSN programs (southern, quinnipiac, st. josephs, ect) where maybe you can apply as a transfer student. If you have a BA already plenty of schools have Accelerated BSN programs.

Those are just some things I was considering if I didn't get in. The state LPN schools are accepting for the spring 2010 I believe also.

Good Luck.

I got my letter too. I was wait listed. Congratulation to everyone that got in.

I am leaning to wards some LPN programs now.

Congratulation again to everyone that got in.

msdeannah,

I got another email from NVCC and there must of been several complaints about the letters. They said it was apparently misleading and confusing which is was. It actually said your state rank number was your wait list number. It ends up I'm 18th on the wait list so heres hoping. I think I'm going to look at LPN programs as well. I see them in ER's all the time. I might look at Becker too.

matt,

I think you have a great chance of getting in if you are only number 18 on the list. I would think that list is going to move very fast and you will more than likely get it in.

Good luck, your chance sound great though.

Congrats to everyone! I received my letter a little over a week ago for Gateway Spring '10.. I also got accepted to BHSN and I'm a little torn on which one to go with.. If I end up choosing gateway I'll probaby request to be transfered to Fall '09, but I'm not sure which one I want to go with yet.. Any recommendations?

I heard from NCC a couple weeks ago, woooohooo --- NVCC can't be far behind.

mattfd37 · Apr 27, 2009

If NCC was your 1st choice you will not hear from NVCC unless there is a spot that opens up. But being accepted to NCC (If it was your first choice), not sure if you would be wait listed.

soontobe2011 · Apr 27, 2009

yepp... someone else was asking/waiting to hear from NVCC as their first choice, they seem a bit slower than the others in getting letters out. But no, if you get into your first choice, I'm pretty sure you do not get put on wait list for your other choices..
