that is so ridiculous. they are so unorganized over there. i called last week and they told me the same thing.

It's like they get off on knowing who gets in and who doesn't! I mean how hard is it go down 40 f#$*ing names and send out a letter! Or just tell someone no you won't be getting a letter instead of given everyone a different excuse every time they call! :banghead:

i can almost guarantee you that they're just preoccupied with the NLN visit coming up at the end of this month. everything is kind of revolving around that right now. plus, today is the last day of the first 8 weeks of class & monday starts the 2nd 8 weeks of class, so they have to do reviews & grading & everything going on right now.

i know it's frustrating, but i'm pretty sure they're not just trying to annoy you guys.

I received an email today that I had been accepted for Spring 2009. So you guys should be hearing from them soon, if you haven't already done so!

Good luck!!! :)

Congrats, barefoot!! thats exciting. i'm glad you got in.

Barefoot_inSD · Oct 18, 2008

I'm already in nursing school so that will be just one more open spot available for someone else :)

nikkidm82 · Oct 18, 2008

hey barefoot when did you apply for Grossmont? i thought you got a letter for fall?

Barefoot_inSD · Oct 18, 2008

hey barefoot when did you apply for grossmont?

January 2006. I was accepted for this Fall but I went to City instead. I kept my name on the list-just in case

nikkidm82 · Oct 21, 2008

well I called the school today and they told me letters had already been sent out and I was not on the list:cry: So If I get in in the fall it will be 3 years for me I don't know how much more I can take.

I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get in for the Spring. You never though. There are a lot of people on multiple lists. I know two other people at school who are still on the list at Grossmont. I know it's silly to be in the list after we're already in school but with budget cuts and all that we didn't want to give up our spot just in case things changed.

Hang in there. I know the waiting is long but it's worth it :)
