What's meant to be will be. I didn't get in last year because a transcript didn't get sent due to a really crazy issue. But my grandmother went on hospice in January and I took care of her until she passed. I fully believe God knew when the right timing was for me. He knows for you, too. ❤️

You are so kind! Thank you! Wish we would be in the same program, but I am sure I would see you around! I spoke with DJ and she said to not loose hope yet, that the last three cycles of applications, ALL of the alternates have gotten a seat. So I am clinging onto hope!!

I am writing this and keeping up with this thread for anyone that may apply in the future and become an alternate. I know I turned to this site so much for insight waiting for the acceptance emails to go out, so I hope to ease someone else's mind!

I was placed on the alternate list for the spring 2020 nursing program. With the email came a link and deadline to accept my position. The deadline for the letter was a little over a week after I received the initial decision email. I immediately accepted my position as an alternate and emailed the nursing secretary, where she notified me that I was #34 in line on the list of alternates. How many alternates they take, I don't know, but that's not important to me. Once the deadline passed for the Letter of Intent, I emailed the nursing secretary again to see if I had moved up in the ranking, and she told me I was now #26 and that the next big change probably will not take place until orientation, but to check in periodically. I will update this the more I find out! I do have to attend the orientation in December, the same as the students that do have seats for the program.

That's great information. What should I do if I never received an email conformation after submitting my alternate acceptance? I have no idea what rank I am. Any advice?

are you an alternate for the spring as well with calhoun? i just emailed asking for my ranking, and they were happy to give it to me. they also called to let me know that they hadn’t received my acceptance email! for some reason, the first time i submitted it-it didn’t go through! thankful they called to let me know. hopefully they would have done the same for you if they had not received it!

Question: I noticed others have created Facebook pages for their classes to communicate. Of the ones already accepted, is anyone planning on creating a Calhoun nursing student page for Spring 2020? I'm really interested in how to prepare for everything if accepted. I would like to hit the ground running and not feel unprepared or in the dark about anything. Wishing everyone the best of luck!!! :unsure:

I can see that since they only take 112 students for the spring, so significantly less than what they accept for the Fall. Do you know how many points you’re applying with?

Hi..I'm also applying for the program. The lady over the nursing program told me I needed 31-35 points to get in the program.
