It does make sense that you did not get in with your 59 points. I only had 58.
PCC does not look at your Micro., nor Statistics classes. Do you think the office did made errors in your paper work?
Well, I had 59.7 points and got in. I'm not sure if that .7 made a significant difference. One of the advisors in the student employment office at PCC Sylvania (who helps place new nursing grads) told me that if I didn't have the CNA I might as well not apply. Seriously. She was that matter-of-fact about it. She wasn't trying to sell their CNA program necessarily. She just said to get it. I got the impression that the CNA cert, even if you don't blow out a lot of hours, can be a deal breaker.
Hey I got waitlisted too! Just to let you know I have talked to a couple of people who have gone to Linfield and they have all told me that people on the wait list have a good chance of getting in. I don't know about you but that made me feel a lot better. I hope we both get in and will be the merry wait listers that work extra extra hard I will let you know if I hear anything so you know when they have spots "opening up!" Good Luck!
I got my waitlist letter in the mail too... not the best news, but it's better than a rejection I suppose :)
I put all of my eggs in the Linfield basket, so I'm keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed!
If anyone else is on the waitlist and gets an offer, post it on here so we all know there's been some action!
Does anyone know what percentage of waitlisters actually get in? If the wait for the first letter didn't kill me I think this one might...
I will let you know if I hear anything so you know when they have spots "opening up!" Good Luck!
