Heartbroken.....

Specializes in CNA, RN Student.

Got the letter yesterday. The cut off for acceptance was 20 points. I had 20 points. So I called the school and asked if 20 was the cut off, maybe they miscalculated my points or something because I got a rejection letter. Well they said there were a lot of applicants with 20 points and the computer will randomly select enough to fill the seats for fall. So then I ask if I had a chance should people decline their acceptance and was told that it was very unlikely that enough people will decline their seat in order for me to start fall. I wish I had 19 points and could let it go. I hate knowing that there are others who I worked as hard as and had the same qualifications with that get to start.

Oh well, everything happens for a reason. Time for plan B....

For some reason when I read the letter yesterday, I was okay with it. Now today I can't stop crying. I know I will be okay, it just really sucks.

Thanks for listening.

DesertRain,

There are a few other nursing schools in my area but my school is the only accredited school right now for the ADN program. I have plans to get my BSN after so choosing another school might enable me start and finish sooner but continuing on to my BSN after wouldn't work if I chose another school.

ohh DesertRain Im so very sorry :icon_hug: did you apply to just that one, or did you have other options?

Its okay to cry, its disappointing so you're allowed to cry.

The program uses the computer to randomly select applicants :uhoh21: that doesn't seem quite fair to me but what do I know. My heart broke when I saw your thread it'll be alright, you have a plan B in place which is good. Your path is going to be a tad longer than expected but you will reach your goal.

I hope you know that this is not a failure, its a setback thats all. Cry, get it out, but upset, be angry and then put those boxing gloves back on and keep fighting. :icon_hug:

I'm so sorry. Your response is normal. Try to not take it personally. There are too many applicants for too few seats. It has nothing to do with your merit or future as a nurse. It just delays you getting there.

Dont get discouraged... maybe you can do something else in the meantime while you are waiting to get in such a getting a phlebotomy license, working as a unit secretary, or volunteering @ the hospital. This way, youre still putting time towards your future which looks getting into the program and getting a job....also time will go by faster and you wont feel so down... its tough and takes guts to have the ambition just to get where you are, so just take it another route for now while you are waiting ... good luck

Aww Desert,

I know just how you feel, because that happened to me last semester. I was right there, and was picked over. I had some really good friends that was going innto the program and I just knew that I would make it also. Well, the letter came and it was not certified, so I knew that I didn't even want to open it. When I did and saw "we're sorry" if just balled it up and threw it across the room.

Fast forward to next semester: I will start school in 52 days, 6 hours...!! Go ahead and get your crying done. You deserve to. Then chin up and focus on getting in next semester. Like you said, there is a reason that you didn't get in this time. But that doesn't mean NO for good. It just means NOT THIS TIME.

I, along with others, will be

Oh, I am so sorry...I can feel your pain, trust me...even though I knew more than likely I wouldn't get in for the Fall, I was still very upset when I got the rejection letter...it's not easy no matter where you fall in the scheme of things.

You are exactly right...all things happen for a reason - I really believe that and sometimes have to remind myself of that. You will get in soon. But I am sorry that you didn't this time around.
