I found schools with no waiting list

There is another thread about this list by the Discover Nursing website.It would be interesting to have have each of the schools verify that they are truely "no wait list" schools by submitting the number of applications recieved and the number of available seats. If they have fewer applicants than seats than they are truely "no wait list".

I suppose schools with more applicants then seats choose not to have a wait-list per-se because they want the ability to select the best candidates based upon the current applicant pool. Rather then being forced to accept those who may not be as competitive but they waited the longest. However, you do have a good point.

Maybe such schools should list themselves as no wait-list but give the average number of applicants for the last application session? I automatically ask the question of stats because I too am not impressed with schools stating that they do not have a wait-list.

I thought El Centro in Dallas does have a waiting list. Its a very tough program to get into and a very long process. I did look into that school. But I think most of these schools that this list has, are all private schools which means they are super expensive. Its sick to see that all these schools only care to make money regardless of the shortage. Its too bad that we live in such a selfish world!
