For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

[phoenixfire]

I just turned in three of my four applications , and I'm already sweating bullets! Just thought I would start a support thread for those of us impatiently awaiting results for the Spring of 2008.

Good luck to everyone!!!!

I'm still waiting to hear. There where two other schools that I was waiting to hear from besides my first choice. Well, I got rejection letters from both this weekend. Not too tore up because I really want to get into first choice. Must admit, I'm a bit nervous now. I have 4.0 GPA, reffs, and all the trimmings. But I guess I just didn't make the cut. I won't take it personally because I know it is not personal. I will get in somewhere. Still waiting to hear from first choice though. I'll see what happens. Thank God I have place like this to vent. I'm sure my family and friends are sick of me talking about it. LOL :sofahider

Good luck on getting in to that first choice! I hope it works out for ya! :) I totally know what you mean about family and friends getting sick of hearing about nursing school/getting into nursing school! When I was still waiting to hear...I never stopped talking about it! In fact, I found it hard to focus on anything else...including the classes I'm in now. Thank goodness I found out a month ago and it was good news...I now can focus on school and OTHER things in life...that is, until nursing school starts up in less than a month! Ahhh...time flies by...anyways...enough ranting and raving! Good luck to you and everyone else out there who has to wait! :)

thank you! i had some doubts that i would get in since it's the toughest school in my area to get into. and believe me i don't have a perfect 4.0 so there is hope for those of us that get a's and b's!!

I applied to two schools and received my first rejection today, it may be another month before I hear from the other school. I also have a 4.0, and got an 85% on my TEAS. I don't know what else the schools are looking for, but I'm sure its hard for the schools to pick and choose. As you say, I can't take it personally (although I have to admit, I was pretty disappointed when I got my rejection:cry:). Its good to know that are many of us in the same boat and we need to keep chugging along:nuke:

[Lericalpoet]

Wow, I knew I wasn't the only one. You wouldn't believe how many emails I've gotten from folks that are in the same boat. It's crazy? I thought there was a shortage? Anyway, I'll keep on chugging..LOL:sasq:

Well, I just turned in my application today. I'm only applying to one school, because I can't bear the thought of spending another 4 semesters in school for an associates degree when I could have a bachelors in 5 semesters. That and the only 2 year program does not have a good track record, they have over a 50% fail rate in their program.

Now that I've rambled on, it will be at least mid-June before I get an answer. So here's to at least 2 months of stressing over wether I'll get in or not. I hope I do. I've got a 3.8 GPA with 3 classes left to finish and an 81.8 on my TEAS.

Sweating Bullets isn't enough to describe how I'm feeling... lol

I gave in to the pressure and gave a call to my interviewer to find out the status of my app. She told me that she can only tell me I was one of those who was reviewed and that I should be recieving a letter within the next few weeks .... I was tryin to read her voice, and I couldn't lol But then she asked me if I had anymore questions about the school... would she ask someone who didnt get in that? Hmmmm.... I dunno I feel like I'm going nutty...

Good Luck to us all

[obicurn]

Hmmmmm.......I can't really see them asking you if you have any more questions about the school unless you're sure to be a student there. I'm thinking you probably got in.

[sunnsand]

I called the other school I am waiting to hear from to check the status as well, and had a similar response - I was told that my application looked "very favorable". I guess thats a good thing, but I don't want to get my hopes up. Good luck, and I hope that you and everyone else waiting to hear gets positive responses soon!:wink2:
