Getting impatient

[kate2353]

My acceptance letter is due to come during the first week of May, but in previous years, it has arrived during the last week of April. I'm so impatient that I'm to the point of stalking my email all day, every day until I get the email. Anyone else getting a little impatient while waiting on their acceptance letters/emails, too??

What number are you and what school?

I applied to Augusta State University. They tell no one what alternate number they are.

I just thought I would leave everyone a few words of encouragement :) I have been stressing to no end about receiving my letter of admission/rejection lately. Quite a few things have been going wrong. Or at least that's what I thought. I sat down a few minutes ago to sort of make a list of everything that has gone wrong, when I came to realize that there is literally only one thing that happened that didn't go my way. And it's not even a big thing!! So... my point is, yes, this is a verrrrry stressful situation for all of us to be in. However, when things begin to look like they are turning for the worst, realize that everything happens for a reason. If I am supposed to be in the nursing program, it will happen. I have prayed and asked that if I am not smart enough, don't deserve to be here, or have something else planned for my life, please don't allow me to even begin the program. And above all, have FAITH! This may not mean a thing to anyone else, but thinking like this has helped to calm my nerves and think positively. Good luck to everyone!!

I know the feeling.

The schools that I've applied to are lottery based. I heard that If I don't hear from them for more than 2 weeks from the due date of the application, it's most likely that I didn't get picked. March 16th was the last day to turn in the application on one of the schools and now it's the 19th of April and still no email yet.

I don't want to give up, but rejection letters are very discouraging

Maybe you could email or call and ask if emails have been sent out? I've read stories about girls not receiving any form of acceptance/rejection at all. They called and were told the letters had already been sent, but were informed that they had been accepted. Definitely don't give up yet! Try to keep a positive outlook and pray, pray, pray!!! That's pretty much all I can do, too. We've taken the classes, sent in the applications, and now all we can do it wait. (Unless you call and beg for information :) )

Thank you for those words. I really did need that. I just found out today that I only made the alternates list. I cried because this was my third time applying to the program. I had a seat for the Spring semester and I had to quit due to my pregnancy. I think if I would not have gotten in previously it would not have hurt me so bad. I had less points last and ranked higher last time, so I just new that I would have a spot this time around. It did not happen. I feel like I have been working so hard and still have not gotten anywhere. Like you said everything happens for a reason. What God has for me it is for me. So if this is what I am suppose to do it will happen, and if not I will be lead to something else. So I have dried up my eyes and lifted my head back up. Thank YOU! I feel that God spoke through you to me.

I'm getting impatient and I haven't submitted my application yet! Humph...
