My application totaled 67 points but when I manually added up all the sections I could have had up to 72.

Congrats on your acceptance. How many point total when you filled out the application to be exact?

I'm also in the alternate pool. I applied with 71 points. But the email they sent out after I first submitted the application says "please note that your submitted score of "71" may change when we review and confirm your application". I had over 1200 hours of Orthodontic Assistance (not Dental Hygienist specifically mentioned in the Criteria of Nursing, so my guess is the admission has to determine whether I get 20 or 10 points experiences from that criteria)

From my understanding with alternates from previous years is they have a list 1-15 then an alternate pool? Does anyone on the alternate list have a number or did they change that? I was not far off of 67. I know they select Fall first then Spring. (Hoping I'm a high candidate for fall!)

From a previous years they've selected up to 20 people from it. Think it just depends? I know a majority of schools have already came out months ago with letters and started the process. 
 

if anyone got in but is declining can you let us alternates know it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Congratulations to all of us who got accepted. Did you guys reply to the email that you received with the admission contract or did you send a separate email where you attached your signed acceptance contract?

Wait so being an alternate 1-15 is different than being an alternate pool? Or it's the same meaning.

I'm not sure that's a question I had. I'm curious if everyone who got alternate was told just that or if some people got numbers like previous years.
