Rejected!!!

sandman,

I know it is dissapointing. But don't forget, they choose alternates for a reason. Every year, some alternates do get in.

Keep your chin up.

They have taken between 2 and 4 alternates every year at my school. The game is not over yet.
Plus you have another interview coming up. If you are the second alternate for your first choice you will probably be accepted to the next choice. Keep your chin up, you will become a CRNA!

Sandman I am sorry you got that news. Good luck at your second one and come back and let us know how it goes!

Don't ever give up, we took two alternates I think. One of them, a week before the semester began.

I am sorry to hear about your news. Although like everyone else has said....it sounds like you are more than qualified (hence your making the alternate list)...... and will without a doubt make it into your second choice school...as well as probably your first choice as well. Good luck to you and hang in there!!!!

Sandman,

Stay focused on your goal!! A friend of my just graduated this past December and she was on the "alternate" list for that class...It is possible...I'm sure that you have thought of this, but many will apply to more than one program d/t logistics, cost, etc...your first choice might not be theirs even if they get in...so there you go -you're in! Stay positive for your next interview and GOOD LUCK!

When I had my interview, I explained my game plan. I talked about loans, lines of credit, and purchasing a row home for low mortgage rates while a student. Explain that you really have it all figured out, and that you love nursing anesthesia. They can really tell when this is really what is in your heart. You'll get in. Persistence and determination will get you far.

Persistence pays off...don't give up!

Keep your chin up. I am also on the alternate list of two of my top choices, it was a little disheartening at first, but at least it's not a definite "no". Best of luck........
