I got #29 I'm really hoping I make it in.

Really, did the number go down this year?? It states 36 on the website and I know they said they usually can take a couple more when they hear about the grant but it's a little later.

I talked to Ms Angela Olmanson and she said they are taking 32 but you might be right. They may take more later on depending on the funding they receive

Number 43 in the lottery! Feeling good about my chances but not counting my blessings quite yet...

I was under the impression that they extended the due date for applications because they changed the application process. That's what one of the counselors told me.

That seems strange that they would only take 32 people. Hope that's really not the case.

@ mgh3478 What was the application process like for you?

I can tell you if it's different than what my friend had to do when he applied.

mgh3478 · Apr 20, 2016

They switched this year to an online application. And I believe the application period was almost a month longer this year than last year. But I think that had to do with the fact that it wasn't widely known that they were changing their application process. I had to have my prerequisites approved by enrollment services and after approval, send that paperwork to the nursing department with my transcripts. And then I filled out the online part.

I'm not really sure what to do. I got accepted at City College of San Francisco. COM is definitely my first choice but I know we won't know anything for sure until after everyone takes the TEAS in May. The problem is CCSF is moving along so quickly. Apparently they are starting to register accepted students for classes today. They are also taking measurements for uniforms on May 11th. They haven't even had everyone who was conditionally accepted take the TEAS yet. Being #43 in the lottery at COM and having passed the TEAS already, I feel that my chances are pretty good but obviously not set in stone. Part of me wants to just give up my spot at CCSF so someone on their waitlist can have it and then hold out for COM. But I'm also concerned that I won't have a backup if I don't get accepted to COM. Just from reading threads on here from previous years, it sounds like they get well over #43 in the lottery before all the spots are filled but still...

What would you do?

I would accept CCSF, its a guaranteed spot. I think COM takes 10 students from last years waitlist, so you never know if they make it to 43.

Hi all! #35 here. I was feeling very confident about my number because on their website it says they take 36 students, but after reading the comment about Angela possibly saying they're taking 32 I'm sort of nervous! I've already taken the TEAS, passed it, and submitted the results to Angela. I'm hoping the time waiting for the final answers flies by..I've literally had palpitations this entire time from submitting apps to waiting for responses :nailbiting:

Best of luck everyone!!

I really think you have an excellent opportunity to get in. I was number 38 on last year's lottery. I remember the feeling of anticipation before I got my welcome packet into the program. Best of Luck and look forward to meeting you next year.

Lizdey · May 3, 2016

Thank you, that definitely makes me feel better!

what do you think the chance of acceptance is of #62. Just passed the TEAS. Do you think there's a chance?
