I've been on the Grossmont waiting list for a year and a half now. Estimated start date is fall of 2007...anyone else?? I mainly see posts from people in programs or people still taking pre req's. Looking for others in limbo here in san diego like myself.

I'm sooo happy for you! It was exactly 3 years WOW! I put my name on in May07 so hopefully I will be there next semester. We willl see. Definetly a waiting game. Please post when you start, I would love to know how the first day is and first semester! you will do GREAT!

Hi,

I also have been on the waiting list since May 2007. The letter I was sent by Grossmont nursing dated 2-17-2010 the way I read it says that although the wait list is closed it will be buissness as usual for the Fall 10 selections. Meaning that 100 percent of that class will be chosen based on the now closed waiting list.

The letter from Grossmont also lays out how 25 percent of the next 4 semesters following Fall 10 would also come from the old waiting list. In my opinion both you and I are in pretty good shape all and all... Don't you agree?

Good Luck :)

I sure hope so Paul.. I emailed the school and she said that I should reapply and I would still be on the waitlist. She said it could be faster to get in if I reapply. I don't understand that because they said it would be 3 years when I placed my name on the waitlist and in May it will be 3 years for both of us. How many points do you think you would have? I'm so confused with this whole thing! I hope we both get acccepted in the Fall!!

Hi again,

I think you and I are pretty close as far as Fall 10 goes. This is a somewhat eduacted guess based on all the info I can get from all sources (for what that's worth).

About the new point system I don't think the grid on Grossmonts site is specific enough in regards to exact course numbers to be able to predict points right now. I do have more A's than B's so I have some confidence I could make it work out if I had to but hope to get admitted under the old guidelines if I can.

One thing for sure though is I will try to get a little more reliable information in the next week before I get too excited or worried about the whole thing...

Best of luck, and hang in there :)

Post on here if you find anything out ;-) I'm hoping we get selected from the waitlist as well! I'm sooo tired of waiting!! I didn't apply until the very end of May so you will probably find out something before I do!

Can anyone here post and tell me about this new point system Grossmont has? It seems like they try to make it harder and harder to get into school nowadays! :( Thank goodness I'm already in school! Thanks for any replies. ;)

The new critiera is based on a 100 point system. You get points for GPA, TEAS, work experience etc..

Paul, have you heard anything about the waitlist? This waiting game is awful!!

No nothing substantial at all... I did get a call from them last week though to tell me I needed to take TEAS by the end of March. Have you learned anything?

No, nothing.. All she really said was to reapply and I could get in faster that way, which is hard to believe.. No idea what's going on!

I applied at the end of January 07 and still no email. I'm at City instead. The wait for Grossmont is pretty ridiculous. Something is always up there.
