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.
You will definitely have your moments!!! Good luck. You have a solid Plan B. I took all of my pre-requisite nursing programs before nursing and always was grateful for that. I really was focused on nursing then and not had time to really understand it before the board. Try to enjoy your summer time with your kids--when you start working as a nurse you may have much less time than you think. I hope that you, like me, can look back oneday and see that school was one of the finest times of your entire life. :balloons:
Oh DesertRain, I am so sorry. That is just awful. I know several people who have declined offers, but I don't know why they don't think you had a chance. Wouldn't they just put those declines back out there and have the computer randomly pick from the 20 pointers again? I myself declined a school because it just wouldn't have worked with the commute. I guess I am just being hopeful, because I have talked with you on these discussion boards in the past and I just know you will be an absolutely fantastic nurse. Keep trying and I will have my fingers crossed that you will get there.
