i know that in western north carolina - the community colleges have at least a 1 year wait, if not longer. the university system ( western carolina university) does not have a waiting list that i know of. many of the nurses that are on the waiting list for the 2 year program are now applying for the bsn program with western and getting accepted. i do not believe that schools share enrollment information with each other unless you are a transfer student. besides, plenty of people are enrolling into several programs with the hope of being accepted into one of them without having to wait for 1-2 years.

good luck and post again to let us know if you got enrolled.
