I just got my new wait list letter for Solano...

SoHappyToBeRN · Oct 15, 2011

Hello! Im currently a nursing student at Solano! I was number 56 (then an alternate) and got in last year. It sounds like you have really good odds at making it in this fall. I know it is hard still not knowing for sure, but i would definitely be making plans to start with a number like that! Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to email me (i mean it), I know this whole process is exhauting, so hang in there!!

Thank you so much for your kind reply! I did get a call back early this morning, and talked to a wonderful woman at the school who explained that 3 people on the list below me can't start in the fall as sadly they failed teas v and must remediate...man! I would love to email you and pick your brain a bit, maybe I can take you for a coffee or jumba juice :)

My brain is available for the picking, i know how many questions i had and how nice it is to talk to someone who knows whats going on, if you want to call me ill email you my number, Im gonna be up for a bit tonight, or whenever. (Im learning my meds for our med admin test on tuesday, fun fun!!) So Hope to talk to you soon, Im Gina by the way!

I just got my letter today. I'm #52! It feels like I have been waiting for sooooo long! I emailed the school today to ask how many students they admit every year & what are the odds of me getting in next August. I'm nervous that I will miss out! What are your thoughts?

GonnaBanRN- How many alternates made it into the program with you? Do you know how far they got in the numbers?

happyjen · Oct 15, 2011

Thanks Gina, I just emailed you, and cbaum9, I remembered there was someone really close to me here, just one number farther than me infact! Based on what I was told yesterday it sounds pretty definite we'll both make the cut, 15-20 sometimes even more alternates are chosen each year!! :)

hey just wondering you guys, how long did you guys wait to become that far up on the list? It must be a long wait, i have yet to apply to a wait list school being that yuba you had to take pathio and I just been applying to other schools in Sac.

happyjen · Oct 19, 2011

From app to getting in next year will be 3 years! Good luck, apply to multiple, I only applied here as I didn't want to commute, but if I had it to do over again, I would have applied to Napa too :)

Ya this would be my first semester considering a few other schools but Im feeling more and more limited finding out a lot of Schools don't take more than one repeat. Sorry I wanted to ask one more thing about solano CC, do they except more than one repeat in sciences? I'd appreciate if I got an answer it would save my drive to Fairfield campus this December for the informational meeting. I live in elk grove.

Sorry I wanted to ask one more thing about solano CC, do they except more than one repeat in sciences? I have a W and a F on my transcript but of course I retook the classes for better grades.
