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.
I am so sorry!!! Put your application in at all schools and just see what happens. If you are accepted somewhere else then you get to decide what is right for you, whether you want to go or not. What is your plan B?
I am sorry to hear about your setback. Please don't give up, go for plan B, it may work out better for you in the end. I know there are no words to make you feel better right now, just know that we are all pulling for you.
I am sorry that this has happened. I had applied 3X to a school and was rejected each time. I choose to apply to a private school for a better chance and thankfully I was accepted.
I'm so sorry. I can definitely understand wishing you had 19 instead of 20 points. Go ahead and cry, it's a good thing to let it out. I hesitate to offer any advice since I don't know what the plan B you mentioned is, but don't give up. I know sometimes that is FAR easier said than done, but if this means as much to you as it sounds like it does, don't give up. Know you have support here, for what it's worth.
Hang in there. A spot might open up - I was accepted into the RN year last fall and declined my seat late. And if not you will get in next year. It might be a wait but you're young. Very young, with time and opportunity ahead of you.
Thank you so much everyone for all your support. I am feeling a bit better. I've just honestly been so broke going to school and not being able to spend time or money with my kids (I'm a single mom) and I thought all the sacrifice might be nearing it's end. My mom keeps telling me it's only 4 months later- to start in January instead of August, but it feels like an eternity. My plan B was to take most of the classes I need as prereq's for my RN-BSN bridge program I am going to do when I graduate. I think that perhaps me not getting in is a way to ensure that I will take these classes as oppose to just graduating with an ADN and not returning to school. If I take these classes now, it will only take me a year to finish my BSN after school instead of two years. I'm trying to find the positive in it all. I am so thankful for people like you guys. I will probably have my moments but I know I will be okay.

Keep taking those classes towards your BSN....it will be a good distractor + it will show them that YOU ARE NOT A QUITTER!!!!!
((((HUGS))))) I'm so sorry you didn't get in. Sometimes you just have to cry and mope about for a few days before feeling better. Is there any way you can get more points for the next time you apply?
It sucks i know am applying for my 3rd time.If i don't get in i don't know what i'll do.Probably cry till next year.Well best wishes to you and don't give up.
