In that case it does screw with odds, it’s completely false that this is not screwing with odds, if they drew 220 and people aren’t eligible and they start going through alternates it means technically less than 220 eligible people were drawn... traditionally it was 220 eligible people were drawn and if of the 200 that were actually selected declined then they would go through alternates. 

It also made all our chances smaller of getting in .. if they drew from all 1100 applicants, versus let’s say 900 that may have been eligible.. we had smaller odds of getting in

Did you seriously apply to all of those?! Kudos to you! 

It's definitely easier to get rejected when you have other programs yet to hear from.

I may try Fresno State again but with how bad my stats are even for post Baccalaureate and existing students only I still feel like my odds are pretty terrible.

My friend got in as an existing student with a C in a major science for Spring. It was 4 years ago though.

 A preliminary lottery was held early in April.

Fresno City College's internal lottery process changed somewhat this year based on the volume of applications to our registered nursing program. Our internal changes in no way impacted the chances for any student to be selected for the program. We based a preliminary lottery on the information that students provided on their applications. Students were determined to be "eligible" for the lottery based on self-reported GPA, grades, scores, and other information. A preliminary lottery was held early in April. Our staff then had to verify that those randomly selected actually completed all information accurately. For example, we had to calculate GPAs to confirm that units and grades were calculated correctly by students. Until this process was completed, students were placed in a "pending" status. 

This year, over 1,100 students applied to the Fresno City College Registered Nursing program. Results posted indicate if you were "selected" or "unselected." Please note - our lottery is a strictly random process from all eligible applicants regardless of the number of times students apply.
